The '''National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke''' ('''NINDS''') is a part of the U.S. [[National Institutes of Health]] (NIH). It conducts and funds research on [[brain]] and [[nervous system]] disorders and has a budget of just over US$2.03 billion.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ninds.nih.gov/About-NINDS/Budget-Legislation/NINDS-Annual-Budget/NINDS-2020-Congressional-Budget-Justification|title=NINDS 2020 Congressional Budget Justification|publisher=NIH-NINDS|access-date=2020-01-18}}</ref> The mission of NINDS is "to reduce the burden of neurological disease—a burden borne by every age group, every segment of society, and people all over the world".<ref name="Mission">{{cite web |title=Mission |url=http://www.ninds.nih.gov/about_ninds/mission.htm |date=February 3, 2009 |work=National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke |publisher=[[National Institutes of Health]] |access-date=2009-06-17}}</ref> NINDS has established two major branches for research: an extramural branch that funds studies outside the NIH, and an intramural branch that funds research inside the NIH. Most of NINDS' budget goes to fund extramural research. NINDS' basic science research focuses on studies of the fundamental biology of the brain and nervous system, [[genetics]], neurodegeneration, learning and memory, motor control, brain repair, and [[synapses]]. NINDS also funds clinical research related to diseases and disorders of the brain and nervous system, e.g. [[AIDS]], [[Alzheimer's disease]], [[epilepsy]], [[muscular dystrophy]], [[multiple sclerosis]], [[Parkinson's disease]], [[spinal cord]] injury, [[stroke]], and [[traumatic brain injury]].
