*** Application for BRAINS 2022 Announcement ***



*Applications are now open for the 2022 **BRAINS *
<http://www.brains.uw.edu>*cohort*. BRAINS is an NINDS-funded, national
program dedicated to advancing diversity and inclusion in neuroscience.
BRAINS uses a unique cohort-based professional development approach to
explicitly address the inclusion, retention, and advancement of early-
career neuroscientists from historically underrepresented and marginalized
groups. The BRAINS experience positively impacts participants’ career
trajectories, especially in academic neuroscience, and creates a
perpetually empowering community.



BRAINS participants are early- career (pre-tenure) Ph.D. scientists in
neuroscience-related fields who are members of underrepresented racial and
ethnic groups or are individuals with disabilities. 2022 participants will
join a community of nearly 150 neuroscientists who are thriving in their
careers.



A 2019 participant described their BRAINS experience as follows: “I was in
a place in my career where I really needed direction and [BRAINS] … taught
me valuable tools to help me improve the things in my career that are
within my control. It also made me understand the power of community.”



We look forward to welcoming the next cohort into the BRAINS community.
Learn more about the BRAINS program and access our application by visiting
