The meeting will convene BRAIN Initiative awardees, staff, and leadership from contributing federal agencies, plus representatives and investigators from participating non-federal organizations, and members of the media, public, and Congress. This open meeting provides a forum for discussing exciting scientific developments and potential new directions, and to identify areas for collaboration and research coordination.
We are gearing up for the 4th annual BRAIN Initiative Investigators meeting, which will be taking place from April 9-11 at the Bethesda North Marriott Hotel and Conference Center in Rockville, MD, just outside of Washington, DC. Over the course of three days, the meeting will feature a welcome from NIH Director Dr. Francis Collins, plenary addresses (speakers: Dr. Bill Newsome, Dr. Doris Tsao, Dr. Tom Sudhof, Dr. Huda Zoghbi), research highlight talks, and poster sessions on new scientific advances stemming from the U.S. BRAIN Initiative. Additional assorted and focused sessions will convene subgroups to discuss the various exciting efforts taking place throughout the BRAIN Initiative, including international neuroscience efforts.
