Brain Repair and Regeneration are Possible!
CNS is a nonprofit research foundation improving the lives of children disabled by neurological disorders through research focused on brain repair and regeneration.
The Problem
Research for childhood neurological disorders is poorly supported, slowing development of laboratory discoveries into safe, effective treatments for children with neurological disorders.
The Solution
Fund high-quality research focused on brain repair and regeneration.
Sponsor meetings where physicians and scientists can work together
Encourage young scientists to pursue pediatric neurological research
Advocate increased funding for pediatric neurological research
Educate families about options for treating their children
