Neuroscience Scholars Program: Data from a survey from the Association of Neuroscience Departments and Programs (2000) indicate that only 8% of tenure-track faculty are from racial/ethnic minority populations. The NIH "Program of Action to Address Health Disparities" recognizes that success in building an effective biomedical research infrastructure, and our ability to deliver research benefits to at-risk populations requires a commitment to training and supporting scientists from diverse racial/ethnic backgrounds. The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) invites applications for Education Projects for Minority Neuroscience Scholars Programs. The purpose of these Education Projects is to enable the grantee organization to provide research and related experiences for undergraduate, graduate and medical students, postdoctoral fellows and other junior scientists from minority groups to broaden their skills and enhance their career development opportunities. Funding support for Neuroscience Scholars Programs should lead to increased recruitment, mentoring, training and retention of minorities in the scientific and technology workforce.
