NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience: Coordination Center for Interoception Research (BPCCIR) (U24, Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
Posted: Sep 02, 2025 12:00:00 AM EDT
Closes: 11/10/2025
Description
The purpose of this NOFO is to establish the NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience Research Coordination Center for Interoception Research (BPCCIR). Interoception, for the purpose of this NOFO, encompasses the processes by which an organism or a person senses, interprets, integrates, and regulates signals that represent the internal states. The goals of the NBCCIR are to: 1) promote a multidisciplinary approach for interoception research, and 2) bridge the gap between brain and body studies through a cooperative agreement funding mechanism, U24. This NOFO aims to foster interactions within the broad community of interoception researchers, rather than focusing on disease-specific subdisciplines. Specifically, the NOFO will support efforts to: 1) establish and maintain a multidisciplinary team of interoception researchers to oversee and guide NBCCIR activities; 2) create and support digital communication platforms to facilitate networking, collaborations, and information dissemination; 3) plan, organize, and host at least one scientific meeting per year that will include NIH-funded interoception researchers, trainees, and other stakeholders; 4) identify challenges and future technological and scientific opportunities for the field of interoception and develop common terminology, data standards, and common data elements; and 5) generate metrics of success and plans to ensure the sustainability of the interoception research community.
