THE NINDS NONPROFIT FORUM

The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) invites members of interested nonprofit organizations to our annual Nonprofit Forum. The Progress through Partnership Forum provides an opportunity for nonprofit leaders and their membership to network with colleagues and engage in discussions with NINDS staff and leadership.

This year’s hybrid meeting is structured around the overarching theme of “How to Work With…” from industry, to research partners, to NIH – including how to find innovative methods to fund research.

We look forward to your participation whether in-person or virtually.
