Description: The purpose of the meeting is to receive feedback and guidance on funding opportunity announcements, incoming applications, and strategic planning for the NIH BRAIN Initiative. The MCWG is comprised of representatives from the 10 participating BRAIN Institutes/Centers, at-large members, and ex officio representatives from the other participating federal agencies. The meeting will also provide an opportunity for private entities/foundations to present their contributions to BRAIN. Information presented and gathered at this meeting will support the development of future plans for the initiative. The NEWG is a group of experts in neuroethics and neuroscience that serves to provide the NIH BRAIN Initiative with input relating to neuroethics. The group was formed in the summer of 2015. The NEWG is one part of the neuroethics efforts of the NIH BRAIN Initiative, which includes a multi-part strategy to achieve proactive, ongoing assessment and management of the neuroethical implications of the development and application of BRAIN-funded tools and neurotechnologies.
