Our Program
WiN’s mission is to empower students from under-resourced and underserved communities to pursue research and leadership pathways in neuroscience fields, ultimately contributing to advancing scientific innovation and improved health outcomes. By taking this approach, we can realize our vision of building an inclusive scientific community that drives transformative discoveries and breakthroughs that redefine treatment paradigms and health outcomes for neurological, neurodegenerative, and psychiatric conditions. We are focused on advancing the science to make lives for students and our communities better.
Through summer internships, educational opportunities, and one-on-one mentoring, we ensure our interns build the confidence and leadership skills necessary to realize their career goals and become the next generation of neuroscientists and leaders.
A day in the life of a WiN intern is the perfect balance of intriguing and difficult.
