Private foundation, federal agency, or company that supports neuroscience

Private foundations, federal agencies, and companies that fund neuroscience research could incorporate or re-allocate 5% of their neuroscience research portfolio for their grantees–from the basic through applied sciences–to more deeply consider the ethical, legal, and societal issues that may arise in their work, and establish collaborations with ethicists, legal scholars, and social scientists to strengthen approaches to research. In addition, adopting the neuroscience and society paradigm goes beyond funding – it can influence a funders approaches to strategy, seeking external advice, communications, and more, by broadening beyond the focus solely on neuroscience.
