Dear colleagues, Applications are now open for an NINDS funded, national professional development program dedicated to advancing diversity and inclusion in neuroscience (*BRAINS: Broadening the Representation of Academic Investigators in NeuroScience*. BRAINS uses a unique cohort-based professional development approach to explicitly address the inclusion, retention, and advancement of early career (post Ph.D. and pre-tenure) neuroscientists from historically underrepresented and marginalized groups. The BRAINS experience positively impacts participants’ career trajectories, especially in academic neuroscience, and creates perpetually empowering communities. For more information about our program, visit the BRAINS website [https://advance.washington.edu/brains/]. To apply, go to: https://advance.washington.edu/brains/program/application. Applications will be accepted until April 25, 2022. If you have questions, feel free to contact Sheri Mizumori (mizumori@uw.edu ).
