# National Institutes of Health **Collection:** [[collections/Neurotech|Neurotech]] **Aliases:** NIH **Type:** United States biomedical research agency **Primary sources:** [[articles/2026 Annual Report on Brain-Computer Interfaces|2026 Annual Report on Brain-Computer Interfaces]]; [[articles/The Organic-Synthetic Brain Atlas|The Organic-Synthetic Brain Atlas]] ## Relationships - NIH is a funder of [[wiki/MICrONS|MICrONS]]-related and follow-on neuroscience infrastructure. - The [[wiki/BRAIN Initiative|NIH BRAIN Initiative]] supports tools, cell atlases, connectomics, and clinical neurotechnology. - [[wiki/John Ngai|John Ngai]] is identified as director of the NIH BRAIN Initiative. Funding, program management, and research execution are separate relationship types.  ### Master relationship graph patch — 2026-09-10 **Collection:** [[collections/Neurotech|Neurotech]] **Relationship source:** [[research/Neurotechnology Ecosystem Relationship Graph - 2026-09-10|Neurotechnology Ecosystem Relationship Graph — 2026-09-10]] **Related source articles:** [[articles/The Architecture of Continuity and Emerging Neuroinformatics Standards|The Architecture of Continuity and Emerging Neuroinformatics Standards]] · [[articles/2026 Annual Report on Brain-Computer Interfaces|2026 Annual Report on Brain-Computer Interfaces]] · [[articles/The Organic-Synthetic Brain Atlas|The Organic-Synthetic Brain Atlas]] #### Incoming typed edges - **Edge 88 — [[wiki/Magnetoelectric Nanoparticle-Based Wireless Brain-Computer Interface|2026 Advanced Science wireless BCI framework]] `funded_by` → this entry** — **VERIFIED**; evidence `MENP_2026`. Shows cross-domain MENP platform migration between neurotechnology and theranostics. - **Edge 377 — [[wiki/DANDI Archive|DANDI]] `funded_by` → this entry** — **VERIFIED**; evidence `NWB_GRANTS`, `DANDI`. #### Epistemic boundary `VERIFIED`, `VERIFIED_SECONDARY`, `CORPUS`, `STRONG_TECHNICAL_LINEAGE`, `STRONG_TECHNICAL_CONVERGENCE`, `ANALYTIC`, and `UNRESOLVED` are retained as distinct relation states. An edge does not imply ownership, control, funding, licensing, technology transfer, or organizational identity unless its predicate and evidence state that relationship explicitly.
