[FUN_Mail] Fwd: BRAINS 2022 Cohort: Now accepting applications

[Gerald Griffin]

Please see the forwarded note below regarding the BRAINS fellowship program.


Dear FUN,



We are excited to announce applications are now being accepted for the 2022
BRAINS <http://www.brains.washington.edu> (Broadening the Representation of
Academic Investigators in NeuroScience) cohort! *Applications *
<https://advance.washington.edu/brains/program/application>*will be
accepted through 11 pm (PT) on April 25, 2022. * Please share widely with
your community and apply if interested.



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.
