Funding News - NINDS Diversity Research Education Grants

NINDS encourages applications for diversity education research grants in neuroscience.

The NINDS research education grant is a flexible and specialized mechanism designed to foster the development of neuroscience researchers through creative and innovative research educational programs—including regional and national programs. The overall goal is to ensure that highly trained scientists will be available in adequate numbers and in appropriate scientific areas to reduce the burden of neurological disease. Programs that focus on preparing diversity researchers in cross-disciplinary integration of neuroscience, including basic, translational, behavioral, prevention, clinical, and treatment research, are encouraged.

Potential applicants should contact Dr. Michelle Jones-London, Program Director, Office of Minority Health and Research, NINDS; telephone: 301-451-7966; email: mj146o@nih.gov.
