Welcome to the NNI Research Foundation!

The NNI Research Foundation (NRF) is a privately funded, non-profit foundation dedicated to supporting clinical research, public outreach and education focusing on illnesses and injuries of the brain and spine. Founded in 2005, the NRF is a Las Vegas-based 501(c)(3) public charity founded in conjunction with The Nevada Neurosciences Institute (NNI).

Neuroscience Research, Education and Outreach

Neuroscience is an emerging field of medicine offering those afflicted with a neurological condition new treatments, improved outcomes and in some cases, even cures. Neurological disorders can be devastating. It is estimated that over 90 millions individuals are afflicted with conditions such as stroke, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease, spinal injury and brain tumors. As our population ages this number is likely to rise. The good news is that the prospects for improved treatments have never been more promising. New technologies and scientific advances are providing researchers and clinicians with the tools and techniques to improve quality of life for people living with neurological conditions. Never has the field of neuroscience had so many opportunities. Through the work of the NRF and our associated physician resarchers we are able to contribute to the mounting body of research currently underway throughout the country by initiating original research here in Nevada and by participating in regional and national studies. We are proud to be a local foundation dedicated to improving the lives of southern Nevadans living with neurological conditions.

Research

NRF supports national studies, clinical trials, and exploration of new technologies. Original research, case studies, clinical abstracts and reviews, and editorial relevant to neuroscience are published regularly in the multidisciplinary NNI Journal. A listing of research studies currently in progress is also available on this web site.

Education

Seminars and other educational programs designed to advance the knowledge of neuroscience within the community and among medical professionals are an important part of the NRF. Check the calendar on this web site for more information and contact us to be added to the NNI Journal mailing list.

Outreach

Building relationships with the non-medical community increases awareness of the NRF and the research opportunities available to potential participants.
