The Neuro-Irv and Helga Cooper Foundation Open Science Prizes, sponsored by the Irv and Helga Cooper Foundation, is an initiative from The Neuro’s Tanenbaum Open Science Institute.
The Prizes Recognize projects, services, tools, and platforms that unlock the power of Open Science in neuroscience to advance research, innovation, and collaboration for the benefit of health and society.
“The principles of Open Science promote a greater sharing of information, data and materials leading to enhanced understanding of disease biology. These advances will facilitate the development of novel therapeutics to benefit millions of patients around the world suffering from neurological diseases.”
