This NIMH grant aims to support research on how the gut microbiome influences brain circuits relevant to mental health. Focus is placed on developmental studies investigating the early-life colonization’s impact on the central nervous system. Proposed research can involve model organisms or human cohorts. The goal is for investigator teams to develop hypothesis-driven studies and identify potential mechanisms for future research, aligning with NIMH’s mission to advance mental health understanding.

Additional Information

Agency Name:: National Institutes of Health
Description:: This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages research grant applications from institutions/organizations to investigate mechanisms by which the gut microbiome modulates the development and function of brain circuits that subserve behavioral functions of direct relevance to the mission of the NIMH.Because initial colonization of the gut by microbiota occurs early in life and may influence the subsequent development and modifiability of the central nervous system, developmental studies are of particular interest. Applicants may propose to use wild-type, gnotobiotic, or specific pathogen-free model organisms and/or human cohorts. With this FOA, the NIMH encourages investigator teams to initiate hypothesis-driven research in this cross-cutting research area and to identify promising mechanistic leads for future basic and translational research that will advance the mission of the NIMH.
