Program
The year-long IMPACT Fellowship will equip postdoctoral neuroscientists from underrepresented communities with the necessary leadership, management skills, and resources to better address and answer the complex problems that impact their community and society. Additionally, neuroscience fellows will strengthen relationships with peer postdoctoral researchers from adjacent disciplines and new mentors to expand cross-disciplinary collaborations. The main outputs of the fellowship are participation in an in-person IMPACT summit, enhanced skill-building curricula and peer mentorship, and development of an independent community-based project based at the postdoctoral fellow’s home institution.
