Welcome to the La Jolla Interdisciplinary Neuroscience Center website. This website will provide you with information regarding the Blueprint grant, and about the four-institute consortium that make up the La Jolla Interdisciplinary Neuroscience Center program. These four institutes have brought together some of the finest minds in the neuroscience field to provide an unprecedented level of neuroscientific support to the La Jolla and surrounding San Diego scientific community. The cores and their services are available to La Jolla neuroscientists. Core services are available to support neuroscience projects from local investigators even if not currently funded by the NIH and are dedicated to fostering the work of young neuroscientists prior to obtaining their first NIH-funded grant. Mission The mission of the NIH Blueprint Program is to foster collaborative, interdisciplinary science, thus bringing in new technologies to neuroscience research, such as proteomics, genomics and stem cells. What is the Blueprint for Neurosciences Research Grant? This grant supports core technology facilities for researchers studying the nervous system. The NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience Research brings the 16 NIH Institutes, Centers and Offices that support neuroscience research into a collaborative framework to coordinate their ongoing efforts and to plan new cross-cutting initiatives. By pooling resources and expertise, the Blueprint aims to accelerate neuroscience research and to reduce the burden of nervous system disorders. What is the La Jolla Interdisciplinary Neurosciences Center? The La Jolla Interdisciplinary Neurosciences Center brings together over 100 laboratories from the four San Diego institutions by expanding the range of core services and by allowing investigators access to many of each other's Core Facilities. By making these important Core Services available to the local Neuroscience community, the La Jolla Neurosciences Program hope to promote the study of how the nervous system works and develop treatments for nervous system diseases. The Blueprint for Neurosciences Research is led by Stuart Lipton, M.D., Ph.D., Director of the Center for Neuroscience, Aging and Stem Cell Research at the Burnham Institute for Medical Research, and Stephen Heinemann, Ph.D., Professor in the Molecular Neurobiology Laboratory of the Salk Institute for Biological Studies. For more information on eligibility and access to Core Resources For more information on the resources, including access to core services, please contact Dawn Dunsmore, Program Coordinator, for the Blueprint Design grant at 858.795.5260 or dunsmore@burnham.org. Or you can contact the individual core service managers via their websites.
