<p class="regulartext" style="line-height:16.8pt"><b><i><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";letter-spacing:.15pt">Courses for Skills Development</span></i></b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";letter-spacing:.15pt">.
This FOA will support short courses to facilitate the development of a sophisticated cadre of investigators with the requisite knowledge and skills in computational neuroscience perspectives and techniques for analyzing and interpreting complex, high-dimensional
neuroscience data to advance the BRAIN Initiative. For the purposes of this FOA, computational neuroscience encompasses theoretical neuroscience, computational and mathematical modeling of neural systems, and/or statistical perspectives and techniques. Each
short course is expected to include both didactics and in-person/hands-on experiences. This FOA is intended for participants who are graduate students, medical students, postdoctoral scholars, medical residents, and/or early-career faculty.
