"Brain Awareness Week is an international effort organized by the Dana
Alliance for Brain Initiatives to advance public awareness about the
progress and benefits of brain research. The Dana Alliance is joined
in the campaign by partners in the United States and around the world,
including medical and research organizations; patient advocacy groups;
the National Institutes of Health, and other government agencies;
service groups; hospitals and universities; K-12 schools; and
professional organizations."
