Building Interdisciplinary Research Careers in Women's Health prepares outstanding junior faculty to become independent investigators in women’s health research.
Neuroscience-related training opportunities are thematically organized around six areas of research: (1) neurobiological basis of substance use disorders (SUDs) including sex and gender differences, (2) cognitive neuroscience, (3) sensory neuroscience, (4) neurodegenerative disorders, (5) neurodevelopmental disorders, and (6) neuroimaging. These strong research foci are coupled to equally strong clinical research endeavors
