Task Force on Neuroscience and Medicine

Mission Statement

The goal of the CIRM Task Force on Neuroscience and Medicine is to generate a general plan for the $1.5 billion set aside for neuroscience and related medicine as specified in Proposition 14. In addition to generating a general plan for Neuroscience and related medicine, the task force aims to identify unusual opportunities for high impact in these areas for enhanced investment. The task force will work with the community in California and beyond to identify potentially high impact opportunities in basic neuroscience, neurodegenerative disease, neuropsychiatric disease, neurodevelopment, and normal brain aging.
