The Neuroscience Research Program (NRP) is an inter-university and international organisation founded during 1962 by Francis Schmitt and others,[1] which marked a key moment in the foundation of neuroscience as a discipline.

Funded by Federal Grants from the government of the United States of America, and additionally sponsered by Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the program was headquartered at the American Academy of Arts and Sciences based in Boston House. It operated a twice weekly meeting with guest speakers talking on key issues pertaining to neuroscience, and published its' findings through the Neuroscience Research program Bulletin to libraries and other individuals working in the field.[1][2][page needed]
