National Advisory Neurological Disorders and Stroke Council Meeting
Despite the questionable weather in Washington D.C. the National Advisory Neurological Disorders and Stroke Council (NANDSC) is still scheduled to meet February 15-16, 2007.
The NANDSC holds three regular meetings each year (February, May, and September) and each lasts about a day and a half. Each meeting has a portion open to the public, with the reminder of the meeting closed to the public as the council reviews grant applications. The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) cannot award a research grant unless the application has received the approval of the NANDSC. In addition to reviewing applications, one of the NANDSC’s main roles is “to advise the Institute on policy and procedures affecting the extramural research programs.” The SMA Project was established by NINDS to help advance spinal muscular atrophy research.
