Collaborative Neurological Sciences (CNS) Award

Funding Contact(s): Alfred Gordon, Ph.D.

Brief Description:
The purpose of the Collaborative Neurological Sciences (CNS) Award is to encourage collaborative research investigations among scientists at minority institutions and grantees from leading research laboratories that have NIH or equivalent grant support to conduct neuroscience research. It is envisioned that funding from the CNS Award will lead to joint research efforts and publications, shared research instrumentation and resources, exchange of research techniques, and other scientific activities to enhance the research capabilities of applicants at minority institutions to successfully compete for independent research funding during the performance period of award. The nature and scope of these scientific interactions should promote better opportunities to educate and prepare students and fellows for productive research careers in neuroscience.
