BHI Strategic Plan

Dear BHI Colleagues and Rutgers Community Members,

I am delighted to present the Brain Health Institute’s strategic plan for 2025-2030, which is the product of a year-long collaborative effort. This comprehensive strategy reflects our commitment to advancing brain health research.

The strategic plan will serve as a roadmap over the next five years, guiding us through new research initiatives, innovative educational programs, and impactful community engagement projects. Our interdisciplinary teams’ meticulous planning and dedication have set a strong foundation for achieving our ambitious goals.

The Brain Health Institute has always been at the forefront of pioneering research and education in Neuroscience. Our new strategic plan builds upon this legacy, emphasizing collaboration across schools and departments, as well as with external partners. This holistic approach ensures that we address the complexities of brain health from multiple perspectives, fostering breakthroughs that will benefit society at large.

I want to thank everyone involved in developing this strategic plan, and especially highlight contributions from the Strategic Planning Committee Chair, Chiara Manzini, as well as from our colleagues in the Office of Organizational Leadership, Chris Goldthwaite and Brent Ruben. Your hard work, insights, and unwavering dedication have been instrumental in crafting a vision that will propel us forward. Together, we will continue to push the boundaries of knowledge and enhance the quality of life for individuals and communities affected by nervous system dysfunctions.

As we embark on this exciting journey, I encourage each community member to engage with the initiatives outlined in the plan actively. Your participation and support are crucial to our success. Let us work together to make significant strides in brain health research and education, ultimately contributing to a healthier, more informed world.

Thank you for your continued commitment and enthusiasm.
