During the scientific retreat, attendees will meet with NINDS staff to learn more about targeted funding initiatives to support the success of underrepresented scientists, engage in sessions on oral scientific communication and grant writing, and network with a cohort of peers and faculty mentors. Selected recipients receive travel support and waived registration for all program events.
