ABOUT THE PROGRAM
The overall goal of the program is to create a network of scientists who have faced roadblocks in their career trajectories and provide them with a transparent understanding of the skills needed for them to be successful scientists, including professional development and mutual career support. The program is designed to be longitudinal and self-sustaining, and includes graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and Assistant Professors. The hope is that this program will improve retention of these participants in neuroscience, leading to long and successful careers as neuroscience research faculty and supporting a strong infrastructure needed to effectively resolve diseases of the nervous system.
