Principal Investigator: Marlen Z Gonzalez 
From the CNI website

CNI is a new program which seeks to remove barriers to empowered participation in neuroscience for all people both as consumers and active co-creators. It rests on the following pillars:
  • Democracy: It’s your brain and your publicly-funded brain science!
  • Translation: Neuroscience can powerfully inform thinking on community issues.
  • Neurodiversity: There are many ways to have a healthy brain
 The Community Neuroscience Initiative (CNI) makes neuroscience more accessible to practitioners and community members and encourages individuals from all backgrounds to see themselves in neuroscience.
