  • Creating a regulatory framework for wearables and other digital technologies for use in diagnostics, monitoring of treatment outcomes, and disease maintenance among patients with neurological conditions
  • Development of more patient-centric and patient-rated outcome measures that can be used as approvable endpoints in the development of CNS agents
  • More flexible approaches to trial designs to expedite development of therapeutics for neurological diseases

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

Individuals with doctoral degrees (MD, PhD, PharmD, JD, or equivalent) and training or experience in clinical neurology or psychiatry, basic neuroscience, or in a relevant field such as pharmacoepidemiology, epidemiology, or health policy
