The Dana Foundation\u0026#39;s grant to the interdisciplinary team led by Christopher Rozell, professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, will provide funding to complete a full proposal and a demonstration project.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe grant was one of 11 awarded by the Dana Foundation to U.S. colleges and universities on Sept. 28. The Foundation hopes to choose two teams to establish centers by the end of 2023.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EIn partnership with the Institute of Neuroethics (IoNx), a think tank devoted to neuroethics, the proposed GT\/IoNx Center for\u0026nbsp;Neuroscience\u0026nbsp;and Society (GTI-CNS) will develop a community of transdisciplinary scholars who are committed to addressing the impacts of\u0026nbsp;neuroscience\u0026nbsp;and neurotechnology advances across all facets of the human endeavor. IoNx is the first think tank wholly devoted to neuroethics and was founded by Karen Rommelfanger, former program director for the Center for Ethic\u0026rsquo;s Neuroethics Program at Emory University.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EGeorgia Tech collaborators in the GTI-CNS proposal include:\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cul\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003EAaron Levine, associate dean for research and outreach and associate professor in the School of Public Policy\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003EAaron Shackelford, director of the Office of the Arts\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003EJennifer Singh, associate professor in the School of History and Sociology\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003ELewis Wheaton, director of the Center for Promoting Inclusion and Equity in the Sciences and associate professor in the School of Biological Sciences\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\u003C\/ul\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe proposed vision of the GTI-CNS would be achieved through meaning bidirectional public engagement through the arts, interactive training experiences for undergraduate and graduate students, and an interdisciplinary research community of social science or humanities fellows performing independent research while embedded in technical labs and think-tanks.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EIf approved, the work of the center will have national impact on public engagement through leveraging partnerships with organizations such as Neuromatch, Inc.
