Brain Health Nexus
About
Founding Sponsor
As a nonprofit biomedical and technology research organization dedicated to advancing brain health, we recognize that the health consequences of the pandemic have normalized an understanding of global stress and trauma, escalating the urgency to galvanize individuals and institutions in the brain health ecosystem towards a shared mission. We know that now is the time to ensure brain health moves to the top of national and global agendas, with a clear plan for how resources will be deployed.
Over the past five years CVB has laid the foundation for designing roadmaps for collective action, with innovative research to fast-track solutions for complex diseases, the development of tools and platforms that cut across brain health, and an advocacy agenda to drive brain health precision medicine. But we recognize that meaningful change across brain health will require a global collective movement that pools resources and expertise and incorporates diverse, driven leadership. CVB is eager to catalyze this movement by joining forces with others to work towards a shared vision and purpose to move from ideation to action.
