Mission Statement

To support the development and implementation of research technologies with broad applicability to neuroscience, and to support the discovery and development of therapeutics for treatment of neurological diseases, thorough a broad range of grant and contract programs.

Quick Links


The NINDS Translational Research Program includes three coordinated Program Announcements to accelerate the translation of discoveries in basic research into treatments in the clinic. For further information see NINDS Funding for Translational Research.

The NINDS Anticonvulsant Screening Program (ASP) is an ongoing program to test drug candidates for treating epilepsy. Compounds are supplied by companies and academic sponsors and tested for activity in reducing or preventing epileptic seizures. For further information, see the NINDS Anticonvulsant Screening Program.

The NINDS Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) Project: A Collaborative Program to Accelerate Therapeutics Development for SMA is a model translational research program to accelerate the process of developing a safe and effective treatment for SMA -- an inherited motor neuron disease that leads to muscle wasting and, in its most severe form, death. The goal of this ambitious program is to identify and complete preclinical research and development of candidate therapeutics for treating SMA by late 2007, according to a strategic plan developed by the program's Steering Committee. For further information, see NINDS SMA Project.

The NINDS High Throughput Drug Screening Service Facility at Southern Research Institute provides high throughput screening services to neurodegeneration researchers. For further information, see the NINDS HTS Facility for Neurodegeneration.

The NINDS/NIMH Microarray Consortium provides all extramurally funded NINDS and NIMH investigators with the opportunity to further their research through the use of expression profiling technology. The primary goal of the consortium is to further translational research through acquisition and dissemination of high quality expression array data. For further information, see NINDS/NIMH Microarray Consortium.
