The conference will include:

• Perspectives from NIH leadership, current users, and early adopters on the importance of well-validated, psychometrically sound measures for use across a wide variety of research studies, clinical trials, and clinical and educational settings.
• Presentation of updates, improvements, and adaptations to NIH Toolbox® using emerging technologies to expand the reach of the measurement system to a wider range of age groups, for use in tracking change, and to monitor treatment response for neurodegenerative disease.
• Launch of several new measurement systems and measures that build off the NIH Toolbox® framework and which offer rigorous assessment of a wide range of neurological and behavioral functions in infants and toddlers; of cognition in adults via self-administration; and of detection of cognitive impairment in the primary care provider setting.
• Demonstrations of all four measurement systems and measures, including new and existing features and instruction on how to access them.
• Discussion of lessons learned, best practices, and a future vision to keep these tools dynamic and relevant for end-users from multiple disciplines.
