Neuroscience
OVERVIEW
NSF is interested in exploring research frontiers that increase the cross-fertilization and mutual benefit between neuroscience and the physical sciences. The physical sciences are broadly construed in this context to include physics, chemistry, materials science, mathematics, statistics, computer science, engineering, and related disciplines.
Various aspects of neuroscience are supported in each of the directorates at NSF. NSF is particularly interested in high-risk, high-impact, transformative research opportunities that will trigger major new scientific and technological advances, both in neuroscience and in the physical sciences.
To date, two workshops have been held to explore and articulate this mutual opportunity.
The following reports represent the collective views of the workshop participants and not of the National Science Foundation and are available for public comment:
