Bioengineering applications may be funded by NINDS if they focus on technology development relevant to normal or disordered neural function and to the prevention, repair or replacement of compromised neural function. Funded applications include partnerships that span academic entities (biological, bioengineering, biomedical groups), device industries, commercial distribution companies, medical instrument companies, small business concerns, etc. Final stages of translation for FDA investigational device exemption (IDE) and early-stage clinical trials might be a candidate for one of the NINDS cooperative agreement programs. To search the bioengineering projects funded at NIH please go to NIH RePORTER, or select bioengineering research in the categorical spending. Many of the NINDS funded bioengineering research focuses on neural interfaces, including neuroprostheses, neuromodulation, brain-computer interface (BCI) devices, prosthetic control, and neural interface technology development.
