Dana Foundation Career Network in Neuroscience & Society

Project Description

The goal of the Dana Foundation Career Network in Neuroscience & Society is to expand and diversify the next generation of neuroscience and society students, practitioners, and scholars.

The Career Network pursues three goals: (1) recruit new people, especially from institutions and geographies that have not been reached before, to engage in neuroscience and society work; (2) create and communicate new opportunities for fostering and sustaining work in neuroscience and society; and (3) by connecting people and opportunities, create pathways for new careers in neuroscience and society.
