Demonstrating a strong commitment to supporting the career development of the next generation of scientists, the Society for Neuroscience (SfN) awarded 193 young researchers Trainee Professional Development Awards (TPDA), enabling them to present their research at Neuroscience 2019.

The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy issued a letter to the United States research community addressing internationally collaborative science.

SfN successfully competed for a five-year grant from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) to continue its longstanding Neuroscience Scholars Program.

As a leader in the scientific society community, SfN is committed to supporting discovery and scientific dialogues, and to fostering a welcoming community in which all scientists are able to contribute fully. Following discussions at the Fall meeting, SfN’s Council approved a set of changes and enhancements to SfN’s Ethics Policy and Code of Conduct.

Prepare for the new year now by catching up on these learning opportunities.
