Abstract

The mission of the Office of Translational Research (OTR) within the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) is to accelerate the preclinical discovery and development of new therapeutic interventions for neurological disorders. The NINDS is part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the leading supporter of biomedical research in the world. The OTR provides funding (approximately $100 million annually) and resources through grants, cooperative agreements, and contracts to industry and university researchers to advance early-stage neurological technologies, devices, and therapeutic programs to industry adoption (i.e., investor funding and corporate partnerships). The OTR comprises five programs that support the design, implementation, and management of research activities to critical translational challenges in neurology.
