IBNR encompasses basic, applied and translational neuroscience research of faculty members from a number of NJIT departments in the Newark College of Engineering (NCE) and the College of Science and Liberal Arts (CSLA).

IBNR has two primary aims: to promote high-quality interdisciplinary research by developing synergies among research groups and to train graduate students and postdoctoral fellows in an interdisciplinary environment so that they can compete in the academic and industry markets.
