Committee on Neuroscience Departments and Programs

News / Announcements

The 2010 Annual Spring Conference of Neuroscience Departments and Programs will take place on March 26, 2010 in Washington, DC. Please check the meeting page for more information.
The Committee on Neuroscience Departments and Programs (C-NDP) is SfN's newest committee, and results from the consolidation of the Association for Neuroscience Departments and Programs (ANDP) with SfN. This consolidation reflects a new higher education and training strategy adopted by SfN Council in response to expressed member needs. The committee will serve institutional program members (neuroscience departments and programs) through programs, activities, and initiatives that advance education and research training in academic neuroscience.
