ABSTRACT

The PIs and Co-PIs of grants supported through the NSF-NIH-BMBF Collaborative Research in Computational Neuroscience (CRCNS) program meet annually. This eighth meeting of CRCNS investigators brings together a broad spectrum of computational neuroscience researchers supported by the program, and includes poster presentations, talks, plenary lectures, and discussions. The meeting is scheduled for June 3-5, 2012 and is hosted by Washington University in Saint Louis.

PROJECT OUTCOMES REPORT

Disclaimer

This Project Outcomes Report for the General Public is displayed verbatim as submitted by the Principal Investigator (PI) for this award. Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this Report are those of the PI and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science Foundation; NSF has not approved or endorsed its content.

In the summer of 2012 Washington University in St. Louis convened the Principal Investigator meeting of the NSF/NIH Collaborative Research in Computational Neuroscience (CRCNS) community.  We did so as a service to the community; all awardees are expected to attend a PI meeting, to present recent results and to network with peers.  We hosted the meeting in the spirit of carrying out this mandate, with a special emphasis on bringing together researchers less familiar with each other to bounce ideas and build new, integrative perspectives and challenges.

 

We invited current and past awardees; dignitaries in neuroscience and related fields to provide novel input; and program officers from NSF and NIH.  We held a plenary session in which scientists shared their most recent work, eliciting feedback from the community.  We held explicit sessions for networking, including a poster session and a discussion of upcoming challenges and opportunities for the field.  The meeting drew 100 scientists, featured 29 platform presentations, 42 poster presentations, and a large discussion, led by senior scientists and officers from NSF and NIH, on the future and challenges in integrative neuroscience, best leveraging computational approaches and collaboration.  Attendees, including program officers, deemed the meeting a success in its forum for sharing results, sharpening ideas, and planning our next frontiers as a computational, collaborative brain science community.
