Meeting Coordinating Global Brain Projects

项目摘要

This award supports an international meeting to coordinate the numerous independent large-scale brain projects that are now underway in many different countries. NSF has the congressional charge to lead the coordination of international Brain Projects, and this meeting will serve as a critical step toward the establishment of a Global Brain Initiative, replicating the success of the Human Genome Projects and other international worldwide scientific collaborations. The meeting will host over 400 US and international attendees, at Rockefeller University in association with the nearby United Nations General Assembly, and feature as speakers a group of international scientists and administrators from all the major brain projects around the world. The potential broader impacts of coordination among these projects for advancing neuroscience, understanding brain function, and improving treatment for neurological disease is immense.The goal of the meeting is two-fold: 1) to write a platform paper supporting cooperation, to be signed by heads of brain projects worldwide, and 2) to create a committee with representatives from all brain projects to promote collaboration and cooperation. The two organizers led the teams of researchers that launched the US BRAIN initiative, have gathered wide private and public support for this meeting, and are based at two local universities. A diverse group of researchers will participate, and online access to the meeting will assure broad dissemination.

该奖项支持一场国际会议，以协调许多不同国家正在进行的众多独立的大型大脑项目。 NSF负责领导国际大脑项目的协调，这次会议将成为建立全球大脑倡议的关键一步，复制人类基因组项目和其他国际全球科学合作的成功。该会议将与附近的联合国大会联合举办400多名美国和国际与会者，并在洛克菲勒大学举行，并作为演讲者提供来自全球所有主要大脑项目的国际科学家和管理员。这些项目中协调的潜在更广泛的影响是为了推进神经科学，了解大脑功能以及改善神经系统疾病的治疗方法是巨大的。会议的目的是两个方面的目标：1）写一份支持合作的平台纸，由全球大脑项目的负责人签署，以及2），以与所有大脑项目的代表建立委员会，以促进合作和合作。两个组织者领导了启动美国大脑倡议的研究人员团队，为这次会议提供了广泛的私人和公众支持，并设在两所当地大学。一群不同的研究人员将参加，在线访问会议将确保广泛的传播。
