This grant from the NIH Blueprint and BRAIN Initiative is for the purpose of supporting a defined pathway across career stages for outstanding graduate students from backgrounds nationally underrepresented in neuroscience research. The D-SPAN Award aims to facilitate the completion of doctoral dissertations and the successful transition of talented individuals into strong neuroscience research postdoctoral positions. This two-phase award provides crucial career development opportunities relevant to their long-term goal. Ultimately, the initiative seeks to empower recipients to become independent neuroscience researchers, thereby enriching the field with diverse perspectives and expertise.
