The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) has published three notices to promote pain and headache research for Fiscal Year 2022. Recognizing the urgent need to increase the study of neurological conditions associated with pain, the Fiscal Year 2022 draft budgets from the President, House, and Senate each include proposals to increase funding for pain research within NINDS’ mission. With these notices, NINDS wishes to inform the science community of the funding opportunities that will present themselves, if funds become available.
To be considered for funding through this initiative in Fiscal Year 2022, applications will need to be submitted to corresponding due dates starting in January or February 2022 so they can undergo Scientific Merit and NINDS Advisory Council review for the September 2022 Council round.

The goal of the supplement should be to add a pain component to the parent project, where a significant pain component does not exist.
Several other institutes at NIH may have similar increases in their budgets for pain research if funds become available. See the following IC director’s message for details:
