Neuroscience in the midst of COVID-19
The ABC understands the importance of keeping education and advocacy at the forefront during this unprecedented time. We have assembled a variety of resources below to benefit patients with all types of brain disorders, their families, caregivers, and brain-related professionals.
These resources include COVID-19 sites of trusted ABC members and affiliates, breaking research emerging on neurological and psychological effects of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, federal bills and summaries affecting the patient advocacy community, along with COVID-19 research and funding opportunities.
The American Brain Coalition (ABC) responded to the National Institutes of Health (NIH)-Wide Strategic Plan for COVID-19 Research. Because of the urgency and evolving nature of the pandemic, NIH intends this plan to be a living document, which will be continually updated to reflect new challenges presented by COVID-19.
To ensure that it remains in step with public needs, this RFI invites stakeholders throughout the scientific research, advocacy, and clinical practice communities, as well as the general public to comment on the NIH-Wide Strategic Plan for COVID-19 Research. Organizations are strongly encouraged to submit a single response that reflects the views of their organization and their membership as a whole.

The Social, Behavioral, and Economic (SBE) sciences are pleased to announce this new Dear Colleague Letter on the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) from the National Science Foundation (NSF). They invite submission of proposals to conduct non-medical, non-clinical-care research that can be used immediately to explore how to model and understand the spread of COVID-19, to inform and educate about the science of virus transmission and prevention, and to encourage the development of processes and actions to address this global challenge. Please refer to the FAQs for Proposers and Awardees to address questions associated with proposal submission.
