Cognitive Neuroscience | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Cognitive Neuroscience grant opportunity (NSF 09-563) was a National Science Foundation (NSF) discretionary research grant program within the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences area (CFDA 47.075). Its central aim was to support highly innovative, interdisciplinary research that strengthens rigorous scientific understanding of how the human brain enables cognition and behavior. The program emphasized proposals that connect brain mechanisms to core mental functions such as thought, perception, emotion (affect), action, and social processes, and it also explicitly welcomed work examining how these processes develop and change across time, including across the lifespan or other meaningful timescales of neural change.

In terms of what the program was trying to fund, the opportunity targeted research at the intersection of neuroscience and cognitive/behavioral science, where investigators could bring together multiple methods, theories, or disciplines to answer hard questions about brain-behavior relationships. The description signals interest in projects that go beyond narrow single-discipline approaches, for example by combining cognitive theory with neural measurement or modeling, integrating developmental perspectives, or linking laboratory findings to broader cognitive and social functioning. The emphasis on rigor and innovation suggests that competitive proposals would likely have presented clear hypotheses, strong experimental or analytical designs, and a compelling interdisciplinary rationale for why the project could move the field forward.

Administratively, NSF anticipated making about 25 awards under this competition, with an estimated total funding amount of approximately $8,000,000. The funding instrument type was a grant, and the activity category was Science and Technology and other Research and Development. The opportunity included a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were expected to provide non-federal support according to the specific rules laid out in the full solicitation or NSF policy applicable at the time.

Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning the program was broadly open to applicant types, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications contained in the full announcement. The opportunity was originally posted on June 5, 2009, with closing dates that included August 27, 2009 and January 24, 2010, and it indicated annual deadlines thereafter during the active period. The solicitation was later archived on January 13, 2014 and replaced by NSF 14-514, indicating that NSF continued the program in an updated form under a newer solicitation number rather than keeping NSF 09-563 open indefinitely.

For access and support, the announcement pointed applicants to the NSF publication associated with the solicitation and provided a Grants.gov support contact (grantsgovsupport@nsf.gov) for technical issues accessing the announcement electronically.
