The topic for discussion will be the potential to follow on

the near success of the NSF Center for Autonomic Neural Engineering

(CANE) proposal with a new NSF Engineering Research Center proposal

focused on the topic of Neurotechnology for Pain, Addiction, and

Respiration in the context of the opioid epidemic.  Since a first meeting

on this topic was held back in early May, we have submitted a small

proposal in response to their new NSF ERC planning grant opportunity.

The goal of the meeting will be to share information and discuss possible

approaches, stakeholders to engage, and steps to take to have the

strongest possible application going forward from our community.

 

I will welcome the discussion of other potential center opportunities

that we could potentially work toward collectively.  I would also like

a short discussion of the state of training grants in areas related to our

group at UF (and thus the possibility of opportunities for creating

additional training grants).
