NSF-BSF Program: Integrative Strategies for Understanding Neural and Cognitive Systems (NCS)

NSF seeks proposals that pursue high-value scientific and technical risks by transcending the perspectives and approaches typical of disciplinary research efforts. 

The program focuses on four aspects of neural and cognitive systems that are current targets of converging interdisciplinary interests. NCS projects must advance the foundations of one or more of these focus areas, as described further within the solicitation:
1. Neuroengineering and Brain-Inspired Concepts and Designs
2. Individuality and Variation
3. Cognitive and Neural Processes in Realistic, Complex Environments
4. Data-Intensive Neuroscience and Cognitive Science

Funding:  $80,000/ year for Israeli partner for experimental projects. $55,000/ for theoretical or computer based projects
Duration: 3-5 years (NSF consideration)
