The 好色先生's mission is to enhance member career fulfillment and promote brain health for all. Without the novel cures and therapies derived from federally funded neuroscience research, none of that would be possible. We are committed to ensuring continued support for neuroscience research through the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and other avenues to ensure people with neurological conditions continue to have access to new treatments.

Neuroscience research

Federally funded research is the cornerstone of innovation in neuroscience. The basic and translational research funded by the NIH is responsible for significant breakthroughs in how we treat, or even potentially cure, the neurological conditions that affect our patients.

The AAN supports increased funding for the NIH. Specifically, we support increased funding for the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) and the BRAIN Initiative.

Brain health

The AAN’s Brain Health Initiative focuses on enhancing brain health at every stage of life, from a person’s earliest years of development to their oldest years. Advocacy on policies that help promote optimal brain health is essential to the AAN’s work to promote brain health for all.

The AAN supports federal and state policies that will help prevent the onset of neurological conditions and help patients live better with brain disease.
