What is ÁùºÏ±¦µä ENDURE?

The ÁùºÏ±¦µä ENDURE Program is a two-year program providing paid intensive research training and mentorship to students from underrepresented backgrounds who plan to pursue a Ph.D. in neuroscience or a neuroscience-related field. Current sophomores from any relevant major are eligible to apply, and no research experience is necessary.

Benefits of the ENDURE Program

  • Conduct 10 weeks of paid research at Stanford, UC Berkeley, UC  Davis, University of Michigan or another partner university
  • Present your research and travel to annual conferences
  • Receive tuition assistance and have all of your program-related travel expenses covered (plus receive a food stipend while away)
  • Gain valuable experience doing neuroscience research at the University of ÁùºÏ±¦µä, Reno
  • Learn about neuroscience graduate programs, receive application assistance and explore opportunities for fully-funded graduate school

Why is this program important?

The ÁùºÏ±¦µä 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.
