CNS Quest
The Coalition for Aligning Science is part of a broader initiative called the CNS Quest. The Quest is focused on accelerating discoveries, advancing treatments and care, and improving the daily lives of people impacted by Parkinson’s disease, autism, bipolar disorder, and other central nervous system conditions—shortening the journey from lab to living well.
The CNS Quest Approach
-
Leverage flexible capital: Through both philanthropy and strategic investments, we bridge gaps in research and accelerate breakthroughs.
-
Engineer collaboration: We create open science research programs and communities of practice to share data, learn rapidly, and apply insights.
-
Take bold risks: We advance promising ideas when others can't or won’t and drive policy change to dismantle barriers to innovation and access.
CAS and the CNS Quest
The CNS Quest funds scientific research and invests in companies as part of its efforts to accelerate pathways to treatments and cures and improve lives of those impacted by central nervous system conditions. CAS is proud to be an implementation partner of the CNS Quest.
The CNS Quest is funded by philanthropic and investment capital from the Sergey Brin Family Foundation and Catalyst4.
