The Dana Foundation Career Network in Neuroscience & Society aims to (1) recruit new people to neuroscience and society work, especially those from institutions and geographies that have not previously been engaged around this type of work; (2) create and communicate new opportunities for fostering and sustaining work in neuroscience and society; and (3) provide networking opportunities for people to form relationships that will contribute to career development. The Foundation grant supports the creation of www.neuroXcareers.org, the first website dedicated to facilitating careers at the intersection of neuroscience and society, as well as the launch of the Career Network Email Newsletter. Additionally, the grant supports the creation of the Virtual Career Fair in Neuroscience and Society, organized by a team of faculty members as well as undergraduate, postbaccalaureate, and graduate trainees.
