The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation is supporting the Alliance for Children and Families with a grant for a project that will focus on how advancements in the neurosciences, including those in the biotechnology and bioengineering fields, will impact how nonprofit human service providers deliver behavioral health services in a manner that benefits children and families.

While discussion has already begun on these issues within the medical field, very little attention has been given to the potential for these advancements to impact nonprofit behavioral health services. This report is the first effort of a multi-year project that focuses on exploring how advancements in neuroscience will impact the abilities of nonprofit human service providers to organize and deliver behavioral health services in the future.
