According to the Mehr news agency, citing the Vice Preside for Science, Technology and Knowledge-Based Economy, on the eve of the 21st ceury, neuro-cognitive sciences and technologies are recognized as one of the main drivers of transformation in various fields such as health, education, economy and national security. Investing in this field is not only a strategic necessity, but also as a key factor for achieving global progress and maiaining scieific independence and technologically The coury comes up.
This call aims to support researches and projects technologically In the field of neuro-cognitive sciences and technologies and with a comprehensive view from basic and theoretical researches to technology developme and innovation, from research projects in three priority areas, including basic and theoretical researches, applied and translational researches, and developme researches. technologically supports
Fundameal and theoretical researches in this field include studies that are conducted in order to understand phenomena and answer basic questions in various fields of cognitive sciences. These researches include theoretical and experimeal studies in fields such as mechanisms Neurocognitivethe link between mind and brain, mind and behavior, and the philosophy of mind. This type of research is especially importa for moving the boundaries of knowledge and creating new ideas for the developme of applied technologies in the future.
Applied and translational researches in this call support researches that turn fundameal findings io practical tools and solutions. In this regard, researches in the fields of health, education, economy and cognitive resilience of society will be supported. Specifically, these researches in fields such as the developme of new methods to diagnose and treat disorders such as depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, stroke and spectrum disorders autism In the field of health, the design of educational methods based on brain function will be to optimize learning and support studes with specific learning difficulties in education, understanding the neural mechanisms effective in economic decision-making and human resource manageme in the field of economics, and promoting the cognitive resilience of society through cognitive defense technologies.
Developme research technologically This call includes projects that design, build, validate or localize new technologies with the aim of systematic developme and use of existing knowledge and are prepared to eer the commercialization stage. These projects include the design and developme of new technologies for transcranial brain stimulation, iracranial brain stimulation, Neuroinformatics, Optogenetics, Neuroprosthesesstem cells are in neuro-cognitive disorders and smart drug delivery to the brain.
For fundameal and theoretical researches, the support ceiling will be up to 1.5 times of the foundation’s normal projects. In the field of applied and translational researches, the ceiling of support is three billion tomans, and for developme researches technologicallyThe ceiling of support will be four billion tomans.
Applicas can register to the research manageme system (Kuiper) and send their designs after registration. For more information, researchers can visit the section of “Community and Industry Relations Manageme Unit” in the system Kuiper Request support.
