FUNDING OPPORTUNITY: The National Science Foundation’s Integrative Strategies for Understanding Neural and Cognitive Systems

FUNDING OPPORTUNITY: The National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Integrative Strategies for Understanding Neural and Cognitive Systems (NCS) program released a Dear Colleague Letter (DCL) call for proposals that will provide new empirical insights, expand theoretical understanding, facilitate development of computational and bioengineered systems, promote new educational approaches, and generate new hypotheses that connect physical, biological, and cognitive mechanisms. With this DCL, the NSF seeks to stimulate work in educational neuroscience in the NCS program, noting that advances in neural systems can have significant implications for research on education. NCS considers education to include learning in any context (e.g., from formal settings such as schools or workforce training programs to informal settings such as in museums, homes, or on-line environments), by people at any age, and concerning any content material appropriate for NSF.
