Neurotrauma Research
HBCU Scholars at Neurotrauma 2022
You are invited to join us for an introduction to neurotrauma research and an opportunity to network with researchers in the field.
Neurotrauma is damage to the nervous system caused by a sudden injury or trauma and our research focuses primarily on traumatic brain (TBI) and spinal cord injury (SCI).
The mission of this exciting new program is to increase participation of those who have been historically underrepresented in the field of neurotrauma. We hope that you will be our partners and take this first step towards equitable representation with us. We need your energy and your ideas for making impactful change in the diversity of neurotrauma research. It is our hope that you will be inspired to pursue neurotrauma research in your academic pursuits and your career.
This experience is FREE of charge!!
REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED!!
HBCU Scholars at Neurotrauma will be invited to attend all scientific and poster sessions of the conference (program link below) and the special sessions listed below.* They will be paired with a host laboratory that will serve as their primary point of contact during the conference, available to answer questions attend some of the sessions with the students.
