Striving to enhance engagement and retention of underrepresented graduate trainees in the neurosciences
There is a deficit in diversity of talented trainees that leads to a lack of competitiveness and innovation in neuroscience research. The UAB Neuroscience Roadmap Scholars Program meets this need by providing the necessary tools to succeed with the support of the National Institues of Health (NINDS R25 NS089463), the UAB Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, and the UAB Comprehensive Neuroscience Center.

The Neuroscience Roadmap Scholars Program is meant to enhance and support the graduate experience, and the scholars' respective graduate program, throughout the span of their Ph.D. studies. This is accomplished through the implementation of bi-monthly lunch meetings, career coach mentoring, social and networking events, workshops and more.
