ABOUT THE GRANT
The Alachua County Small Grant Initiative (SGI) provides Alachua County, Florida nonprofit grassroots organizations and emerging small businesses with grants of up to $5,000 to fund one-time capacity-building or infrastructure improvement projects that serve residents living at or below 150 percent of the federal poverty level. Administered by the Alachua County Commission, the program funds projects that address one or more of four priority areas: safe and affordable housing, adequate food, quality health care, and quality childcare and education. Grants are awarded annually with a project period running from October through the following September, contingent on funding appropriation by the County Commission.
Eligibility for emerging small businesses is defined as organizations with 25 or fewer permanent, full-time employees and a net worth of no more than $1 million. All applicants (nonprofits and small businesses alike) must demonstrate that their proposed project directly serves Alachua County residents living at or below 150 percent of the federal poverty level in one or more of the four priority areas. Each organization may submit only one application per funding cycle.
Applications are submitted electronically through the county's OpenGov portal, and complete Request for Applications (RFA) materials, application instructions, and eligibility requirements are posted there each cycle. Late applications are not accepted, and applications that do not meet grant requirements are rejected. An optional pre-application workshop is typically held before each funding round to cover the application process, navigating the OpenGov portal, and tips for preparing a successful proposal (with both in-person and virtual attendance options available).

BRAIN Initiative: New Concepts and Early-Stage Research for Recording and Modulation in the Nervous System
National Institutes of Health
A central goal of the BRAIN Initiative is to understand how electrical and chemical signals code information in neural circuits and give rise to sensations, thoughts, emotions and actions. While currently available technologies can provide some understanding, they may not be sufficient to accomplish this goal. For example, non-invasive technologies are low resolution and/or provide indirect measures such as blood flow, which are imprecise; invasive technologies can provide information at the level of single neurons producing the fundamental biophysical signals, but they can only be applied to tens or hundreds of neurons, out of a total number in the human brain estimated at 85 billion.Other BRAIN FOAs seek to develop novel technology (RFA-NS-17-003) or to optimize existing technology ready for in-vivo proof-of-concept testing and collection of preliminary data (RFA-NS-17-004) for recording or manipulating neural activity on a scale that is beyond what is currently possible. This FOA seeks applications for unique and innovative technologies that are in an even earlier stage of development than that sought in other FOAs, including new and untested ideas that are in the initial stages of conceptualization.In addition to experimental approaches, the support provided under this FOA might enable calculations, simulations, computational models, or other mathematical techniques for demonstrating that the signal sources and/or measurement technologies are theoretically capable of meeting the demands of large-scale recording or manipulation of circuit activity in humans or in animal models. The support might also be used for building and testing phantoms, prototypes, in-vitro or other bench-top models in order to validate underlying theoretical assumptions in preparation for future FOAs aimed at testing in animal models.
