Key people at National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke.
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) is a federal organization that conducts and funds research on the brain and nervous system. It advances scientific understanding and develops treatments for neurological conditions by supporting extensive nationwide projects, fostering neuroscientist training, and conducting investigations within its own laboratories.
The U.S. Congress established the institute on August 15, 1950, initially named the National Institute of Neurological Diseases and Blindness. This stemmed from a recognized need to acquire fundamental knowledge about the brain and nervous system, applying it to mitigate neurological disorder impacts. Its mandate evolved to its current NINDS designation in 1988.
NINDS provides vital scientific discoveries and health information to researchers, patients, health professionals, and the public. Its mission centers on continually seeking fundamental knowledge of the brain and nervous system, leveraging these insights to diminish the burden of neurological disease. The institute envisions a future where advanced understanding yields effective treatments for previously untreatable conditions.
