ISTAART Diversity and Disparities PIA: Neuroscience Mentoring Club
April 25 @ 4:30 pm - 5:30 pm
The ISTAART Diversity and Disparities PIA is hosting a Neuroscience Mentoring Club this month, with a fun twist. Attend this meeting for real-time peer-to-peer feedback on grant applications. A selection of mentees will share their grant proposals, discuss funding mechanisms, and brainstorm their ideas. Mentors and attendees will then have the opportunity to provide feedback to help make the application the best it can be.
The ISTAART Neuroscience Mentoring Clubs are informal virtual meetings that aim to create a relaxed, confidential space for PIA members to exchange ideas and perspectives. Meetings are not recorded and provide a forum for open dialogue and feedback. These meetings are designed to help catalyze collaboration, foster mentorships and encourage interaction between senior and junior researchers from diverse backgrounds.
