Megan Frankowski, Ph.D.

As a Program Director in the Division of Translational Research at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), I oversee a portfolio of grants and cooperative agreements funded through NINDS, the trans-NIH Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative, and the Blueprint MedTech Program. Projects within my portfolio range from early-stage device development to late-stage translational efforts to treat and better understand brain function in individuals with neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders. Scientifically, I am interested in how invasive (e.g., DBS) and less invasive (e.g., TMS) neuromodulation treatments affect neural networks and how these networks may be leveraged to create individualized treatments for nervous system disorders,
