Why is this program important?

The Nevada Enhancing Neuroscience Diversity through Undergraduate Research Education (ENDURE) Program aims to raise interest and opportunities in neuroscience research for individuals who are typically underrepresented in the field. The goal is to provide such individuals with training at the undergraduate level, so that they are prepared to enter and successfully complete neuroscience Ph.D. programs.
