... In 2013, discussions included diverse topics such as challenges associated with providing evidence-based psychosocial treatments to patients in need; opportunities based on emerging neuroscience technologies to speed potential treatments into first-inhuman trials; mechanisms to standardize data analysis in diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) to enhance its potential for research and clinical use; and opportunities created by the federal BRAIN Initiative.

... Moreover, for drugs that are eventually marketed, development, from the start of a discovery program to regulatory approval, can take an average of 12 to 15 years. Among the obstacles to successful drug discovery and devel opment are the limitations of current animal models.

... However, the importance and rapid prolifera tion of mission-critical technologies raises important questions about how to train the next generation of neuroscientists, not only to use particular tools, but to be prepared for a changing technological landscape. In addition, the advent of new types of data and the growing important of large datasets raise additional questions about how to train the next Jun 17 Jun 22 Jul 12 9th meeting Glutamate Workshop ADNI-2 Workshop 2010 2011 2010 Mar 8–9 Jun 23 Dec 10 2011 Sex Differences Workshop 11th meeting 12th meeting

... Current and new components of training programs will be discussed in order to identify methods for enhancing data han dling and analysis capabilities, increasing scientific rigor, and improving research practices. Finally, the roles of mentors, mentees, training program administrators and funders in the development and execution of revised training programs for new and current researchers will be explored.
