How they approach the work
Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.
- Equity-Centered Capacity Buildingmethodology: equity-focused_capacity_buildingBy prioritizing funding and training support for early-career researchers in underserved regions and evaluating applications through a diversity, equity, and inclusion lens, we strengthen global neuroscience capacity because equitable access to resources produces more representative, innovative, and sustainable scientific advancement.
- Integrated Research and Education Advancementmethodology: research_and_educationBy simultaneously supporting research and educational initiatives, we accelerate progress in brain science because integrating knowledge creation with training ensures that new discoveries are disseminated and built upon by the next generation of neuroscientists.
- Regionally-Led Scientific Developmentmethodology: regionally_led_developmentBy empowering regionally elected scientists to guide neuroscience development, we produce more effective and sustainable capacity building because locally driven priorities ensure relevance, cultural appropriateness, and responsiveness to regional challenges and opportunities.
