A central goal of the NIH BRAIN Initiative is to ensure that the expertise required to use the tools developed from this landmark program are shared with the scientific community. The program strives to increase training in cutting-edge research approaches and techniques, as well as quantitative neuroscience by offering early career training opportunities. This approach ensures the next generation of researchers has the necessary skills to lead new scientific breakthroughs, as well as providing cross-disciplinary career development opportunities to expand technical acumen.
Other Training Information
The NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience Research is a cooperative effort among the 12 NIH Institutes, Centers, and Offices that support neuroscience research. Blueprint was one of the inaugural sponsors of the BRAIN Initiative and has continued its investment in BRAIN. Blueprint aims to raise interest in and provide opportunities to learn about research training in neuroscience.
