Brief Description:
Diseases of the nervous system pose a significant public health and economic challenge, affecting nearly one in three Americans
at some point in their life, with a cost exceeding $500 billion per year. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Blueprint
for Neuroscience Research (http://neuroscienceblueprint.nih.gov/) is a collaborative and coordinated effort across 15 Institutes
and Centers that supports research on the nervous system to accelerate the pace of discovery in neuroscience research. The
ultimate goal of the Neuroscience Blueprint is to translate this new understanding into clinical interventions that will reduce
the public health burden of nervous system disorders and maintain a healthy nervous system across the lifespan. Over the
past decade, driven by the emerging science, the NIH Institutes and Centers with an interest in neuroscience have increasingly
joined forces through initiatives and through working groups on specific disorders. By pooling resources and expertise, the
Neuroscience Blueprint can take advantage of economies of scale, confront challenges too large for any single Institute or
Center, and develop research tools and infrastructure that will serve the entire neuroscience community.
