The Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative is revolutionizing our understanding of the brain by developing and applying innovative technologies to study brain circuits and, ultimately, to develop new ways to treat brain disorders. Circuits of brain cells enable us to think, perceive our world, and act upon it, and disruption of these circuits underlies neurological, psychiatric, and substance misuse disorders.

NCI
|
Cancer control planners, program staff, and researchers have the same goals: to reduce cancer risk, the number of new cancer cases, and the number of deaths from cancer, as well as enhance the quality of life for cancer survivors. While many share the same goals, all do not have easy access to resources that can facilitate the transfer of evidence-based research findings into practice. This Cancer Control Plan, Link, Act, Network with Evidence-based Tools (PLANET) portal provides access to data and resources that can help planners, program staff, and researchers to design, implement and evaluate evidence-based cancer control programs.
