Solution Assemble an interdisciplinary team with expertise in cognitive neuroscience, adult and child neurology, early education, music, computer science, and product development from academia, the health care industry, and the private sector in order to: • Found a 49420(3) Private Operating Foundation whose Board members arc affiliated with a major university, major medical center, and venture capitalists/entrencurs .O200871st Institute for Music & Brain Science E FTA_R 1_01997726 EFTA02682634 02008 The Institute for Music & Brain Science Proposal: Florida Science Foundation 20081111 • Conduct basic neuroscience research on neuroanatomical, neurochemical, neurophysiological, neuroethological, and genetic bases of humans' innate, universal competence for music using space and some resources provided by the affiliated university and major medical center and approved by their Institutional Review Boards, and other resources, related overhead, and all research salary and fringe paid by our Foundation • Conduct rigorous, prospective, longitudinal, randomized-controlled clinical trials of infants, children, and adults who are patients being diagnosed and treated at the affiliated major medical center for pain, movement disorders, high blood pressure, emotional disorders, cognitive disorders, chremotherapy, radiation therapy, and other disorders. • Develop and patent treatment protocols and devices in the course of doing the above clinical trials. • Conduct rigorous, prospective, longitudinal, randomized-controlled trials of novel educational tools for teaching reading and math to elementary school children, beginning with reading programs for 1st grade urban schoolchildren that incorporate paralinguistic devices — e.g., prosodic cueing with rhythm, rhyme, and assonance — to enhance word recognition, reading speed, and reading comrehension. • Develop and patient education protocols and tools in the course of doing the above educational trials. • Build the world's first MusicMindBrain Database of behavioral, neural, and genetic data from all healthy and sick infants, children, and adults studied during the course of the above basic neuroscience research, clinical trials, and educational trials. Organization and Expertise The following individuals are committed to participating in the research, clinical, and education activities of the proposed Private Operating Foundation. All that is needed for their participation is salary support for their efforts. A few individuals already have their salary guaranteed and are willing to participate pro bono, though typically their percent effort would be less than 10% because of other commitments.

No "cost-of-living" or inflation increases were included in these estimates, nor do they include projected costs for equipment repairs, upgrades, new software etc. This reflects, in part, the fact that we will continue to apply for funding to federal and private sources for funding and that we will continue to try to increase the size of our Board, particularly the number of members from the business community who can help us to grow our annual giving fund. 1. Endowment = $9.625M At 4% per year, this would provide for an Annual Operating Budget of $385k, to be distributed as follows: Personnel = $250,000 Equipment = 25,000 Supplies = 25,000 Travel = 10,000 Overhead = 75,000 $385,000 2. Start-Up = $785k Year 1 Operating Cost = $385k Electroacoustics (ERP) = $200k Psychoacoustics = $25k Auditory fMRI = $25k Microelectrode = $25k Neurochemistry = $25k Quantitative Morphometry = $25k EFTA_R1_01997731 EFTA02682639 02008 Thy Institute for Music & Brain Science Proposal: Florida Scicncc Foundation 20081111 Genetics = $25k Autonomic electrophysiology = $25k Immunochem/Endocrin = $785k 3.
