Summary
The Advisory Committee to the NIH Director (ACD) is a high-level working group established by NIH Director Francis Collins to help shape the vision of the BRAIN Initiative.
The working group, co-chaired by Dr. Cornelia “Cori” Bargmann and Dr. William Newsome, incorporated broad input from the scientific community, patient advocates, and the public.
Their report, released in June 2014 and enthusiastically endorsed by the ACD, articulated the scientific goals of the BRAIN Initiative and developed a multi-year scientific plan for achieving these goals, including timetables, milestones, and cost estimates.
