Neuroscience Scholars Program

Rising or Current Undergrad seeking STEM Research Experience?​

Our Neuroscience Scholars Program is a 5-week mentored summer research training program designed to prepare rising and current undergraduates identifying as historically excluded in biomedical research (HEBR) for graduate school and STEM careers. The program also provides high school students from Baltimore City Public Schools with research experiences to enhance their journey towards college as STEM majors. The program aims to strengthen relationships with the Baltimore community, local Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) and other local undergraduate institutions and programs with common goals to develop a representative workforce.
