Our Mission

The Harvard Brain Science Initiative (HBI) was launched in 2014 by the Office of the Provost of Harvard University, as a cross-schools initiative. Our mission is to promote interdisciplinary and cross-campus interactions amongst neuroscientists in the University and its affiliated hospitals — enhancing research, enriching education, engaging the public in brain science, and together expanding its power for the betterment of human health and society. Throughout all that we do, we aspire to build and nurture a scientific community that is diverse, inclusive, and welcoming.
