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$1.5 billion.

Most of NINDS'' budget goes to research 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.
