Potomac InsEtute for Policy Studies

The Potomac Ins.tute for Policy Studies is an

independent, 501(c)(3), not-‐for-‐proﬁt public

policy research ins.tute. The Ins.tute iden.ﬁes

and aggressively shepherds discussion on key

science and technology issues facing our society.

From these discussions and forums, we develop

meaningful science and technology policy

op.ons and ensure their implementa.on at the

intersec.on of business and government.

Center for

Neurotechnology Studies

The Center for Neurotechnology Studies (CNS) is directed by Dr. Jennifer

Buss. CNS provides neutral, in-‐depth analysis of maJers at the intersec.on of neuroscience and technology—neurotechnology—and public policy. The

Center an.cipates ethical, legal, and social issues (ELSI) associated with emerging neurotechnology, and shepherds construc.ve discourse on these issues. It provides a forum for reasoned considera.on of issues both by subject area experts and by the public. The Center partners with the research

community for discourse and consulta.on on ethically sound neurotechnology research and applica.ons. The Center cul.vates and stewards knowledge and discussion on the implica.ons of neurotechnology in academic, administra.ve, entrepreneurial, regulatory, legisla.ve and judicial enterprises. CNS serves as authorita.ve counsel to government agencies pursuing neurotechnology by providing exper.se in the sciences, ethics, law and social policy.

Big Data Aﬃnity Group

Established in 2013 in response to growing interest in data

science and its impact in ﬁelds such as energy, medicine,

security, social science, and ethics. Our group aims to foster a

community of data science users and advocates at the

intersec.on of technology and policy across federal agencies. We

organize programs and events for current and alumni Fellows,

focusing on the applica.on of big data ini.a.ves, methods, and

policies in government, private industry, and academia.

Led by Meredith Lee, David Miller,

Lauren Milner, and Jen YJri
