The National Institutes of Health Blueprint for Neuroscience Research

In summary, the NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience Research has become the central focus for coordination of NIH support for neuroscience research. With a very modest investment, it has created a framework for sharing resources and providing training opportunities to leverage the strengths of the participating institutes and centers. All NIH neuroscience investigators, independent of their source of funding, now have access to tools, resources and training that individual institutes could not provide. The Blueprint will continue to serve this role with input and guidance from the field. The Blueprint welcomes public comments via email (blueprint@mail.nih.gov).
