Project Summary The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine established the Forum on Neuroscience and Nervous System Disorders (the "Forum") in 2006 to bring together leaders from government, industry, academia, disease advocacy organizations, and other interested stakeholders. The Forum meets two or three times per year and provides its members with a neutral venue for exchanging information, ideas, and differing perspectives. At its meetings, the Forum examines significant—and sometimes contentious—issues concerning scientific needs and opportunities, priority setting, and policies related to neuroscience and nervous system disorders research; the development, regulation, and use of interventions for the nervous system; and related ethical, legal, and social implications. In addition to the regular membership meetings, the Forum sponsors two or three workshops per year, publishes workshop proceedings, and commissions papers as additional mechanisms for informing its membership, other stakeholders, and the public.
