SAVE THE DATE:  The 2024 NINDS Nonprofit Forum will take place as a hybrid event on July 23-24, 2024. Registration details will be provided shortly.

The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) invites members of nonprofit organizations to an annual Nonprofit Forum. The Progress through Partnership Forum provides an opportunity for nonprofit leaders to network with colleagues and to engage in discussions with NINDS staff. 

The 2024 NINDS Nonprofit Forum will take place July 23-24 virtually and in person at the Neuroscience Center Building in Rockville MD.   We expect to open the meeting registration soon so check back for details regarding this hybrid event.  This is a public event, so please feel free to share the news with your networks.   

If you have any questions, please reach out to Andrea Varea.  

We aim to feature areas that interest you, our stakeholders. Do you have any topic ideas for the next Nonprofit Forum? Email us your suggestions!

In addition to the Nonprofit Forum, NINDS welcomes opportunities for focused conversations about science covered within the institute’s portfolio and your disease-oriented nonprofit organization. Contact us for more information.
