A Message from the NINDS Director

The past decade has seen extraordinary advances in our understanding of neurological disorders and how the brain works. To
build on these advances and guide their application to improved health, NINDS has recently completed a new strategic planning
effort that combined practical consideration of ways to pursue our mission more effectively with a look ahead at our "blue
sky" goals for the future. Based on input from scientists and clinicians with diverse expertise as well as from the public,
the new NINDS strategic plan provides guidance for the Institute over the next five to ten years.
