ALT A neural cell image with blue branching structures on a light blue background. Text overlay reads: "Tiny RNAs show promise for protecting brain cells. NIH-funded research finds short RNA molecules can stop harmful protein clumps, offering a potential new path to treat ALS and related dementias." NIH logo is at the bottom.
Tens of millions live with permanent disability after brain injuries such as stroke, disease, or aging. Current therapies help people cope but cannot restore lost brain function.
The BRAINS Exploratory Topic aims to advance regenerative neuroscience by engineering graftable precursor tissues and testing their integration into adult brains.
Now accepting proposals from bold, interdisciplinary teams.

What if scientists knew how to stop or slow the spread of cancer cells to other parts of the body?
This process, also known as cancer metastasis, is responsible for the majority of cancer deaths.
NIH researchers are studying this process with hopes of preventing it from happening.

More people are stepping forward during cardiac arrest emergencies than ever before.
CARES data shows bystander CPR rates increased from 39.9% in 2016 to 42.5% in 2025. #cprweek
Public health is a national security issue.
About 77% of American children can no longer qualify for military service.
@SecKennedy: “These numbers make one thing clear: We cannot solve the chronic diseases burden without addressing nutrition.”
(10) How-To Sessions: Practical, skill-building presentations focused on a specific method, tool, or process. Proposed topics may be accepted as-is or shaped in collaboration with the Program Planning Committee.
(11) Wild Card, Outside the Box: A compelling topic that doesn't fit neatly elsewhere but brings fresh thinking or an unexpected angle to the health data community.
