Description
Congruent Mentorship to Reach Academic Diversity in Neuroscience Research (COMRADE)
The COMRADE Summer Institute is a research-career advancing opportunity at NYU Langone Health that is funded by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. The COMRADE Summer Institute provides intensive didactic and mentored research training to underrepresented minority scholars and those with disabilities engaged in neuroscience research. The goal of this multidisciplinary training and mentoring program is to empower mentees to conduct research by employing techniques at the forefront of their fields. This program is designed to address specific needs of URM postdocs. An important outcome of the training program is to empower URM scientists pursuing careers in neurological health disparities. It focuses on 6 core competencies: conceptual knowledge in translational sciences, communication skills, research skill development, professionalism, leadership and management skills, and responsible conduct of research.
The institute will:
Provide fundamental training by interdisciplinary faculty in the area of behavioral neuroscience and health equity research
Establish partnerships between mentors and mentees based on their mutual research interests in the area of behavioral neuroscience research
Help mentees develop skills needed in order to develop independent research interests and apply for research funding
Provide individualized grant mentorship to submit successful NIH proposals to sustain their independent research career
Conduct a grants workshop by NIH staff to become acquainted with the NIH proposal submission and review process
Approach:
The institute brings together participants to NYU for a two-week didactic summer institute in July 2019; followed by a one week NIH Mock Study institute in July 2019. This is interspersed by a short mid-year meeting at the Society for Neuroscience Conference in November 2019 The institute establishes mentor-mentee partnerships with matching based on common research Interests and specialty. Benefit: The institute provides funding to support travel and accommodations for 6 mentees while attending the institute.
