The NIH National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) invites members of nonprofit organizations to the Institute's 2016 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 agenda will feature panel discussions on research strategies, patient access to emerging therapies, clinical outcome measures, patient-centered research and success stories from patient organizations. The meeting will also offer participants a casual setting for a discussion with NINDS program directors.
