NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION


Request for Information: Interdisciplinary Frontiers of 
Understanding the Brain

AGENCY: National Science Foundation.

ACTION: Request for information.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The National Science Foundation seeks public input on new 
scientific opportunities at the interface of neuroscience and other 
science and engineering disciplines.

DATES: Written comments must be submitted no later than March 31, 2021.

ADDRESSES: Submit comments via web form at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/LQBPS6S. Email comments to [email protected]. Send written submissions to Dr. Edda Thiels, 
Division of Integrative and Organismal Systems, National Science 
Foundation, 2415 Eisenhower Avenue, Alexandria, VA 22314.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr. Edda Thiels at [email protected] or (703) 292-8167.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Exciting new opportunities at the interface 
of neuroscience and other science and engineering disciplines, 
catalyzed by transformative new discoveries and technologies, are 
poised to reshape brain research and its applications. Advances at 
these interdisciplinary frontiers depend on dialogue across many areas 
of scholarship, including behavioral, biological, cognitive, computing, 
educational, engineering, mathematical, and physical sciences research, 
as well as fields and subfields that have not traditionally been linked 
to neuroscience. The National Science Foundation seeks community input 
that illuminates these interdisciplinary opportunities, from theory to 
applications, and points to how they might best be realized.
