Additional Research Programs and Initiatives
- Focus on Traumatic Brain Injury Research
- Focus on Spinal Cord Injury Research
- NINDS Preclinical Common Data Elements (CDEs) and Data Standards Program & Webinar Series
- NINDS Common Data Elements (CDE): NINDS supports the streamlining of neuroscience clinical research by using content standards that enable clinical investigators to systematically collect, analyze, and share data across the research community.
- NINDS's Building Up the Nerve: A podcast for neuroscience trainees that takes you through the life cycle of a grant from idea to award.
- Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies® (BRAIN) Initiative: The Office of the BRAIN Director manages the NIH contribution to The BRAIN Initiative®, including strategic planning, research programs, funding opportunities, resources, and more.
- The NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience Research: This collaborative framework includes the NIH Office of the Director and 12 NIH Institutes and Centers that support research on the nervous system.
- Neural Engineering at NINDS(pdf, 248 KB) (pdf, 248 KB): NINDS supports Neural Engineering research through programs in the Divisions of Neuroscience, Translational Research, and Clinical Research. The combined portfolio spans early concept generation, technology development/optimization, translational studies and clinical trials.
- Accelerating Medicines Partnership® Program for Parkinson's Disease (AMP®PD): AMP®PD is a public-private partnership between government, industry, and nonprofit organizations focusing on identifying and validating biomarkers for predicting Parkinson’s disease, tracking disease progression, and validating therapeutic targets.
- Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias: NINDS collaborates with NIA, the lead NIH Institute for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) research, to establish research priorities and fund biomedical research in AD as well as several Alzheimer’s disease-related dementias (ADRDs).
- ONETOX - Neural Exposome and Toxicology Programs: The overall goal of ONETOX is to enhance basic, translational, and clinical NIH research on the effect of the neural exposome on nervous system diseases and disorders by fostering more collaborative research within the neuroscience research community.
