The
mission of the Association for Neuroscience Departments and
Programs is to advance education and research training in
academic neuroscience. We serve member programs and their
trainees by maintaining a searchable directory of
neuroscience training programs in North America and around the
globe. An important goal for the ANDP is disseminate
information about neuroscience education and training, and
this is achieved through Fall and Spring meetings as well as
electronic resource development. We perform a biannual survey
of neuroscience education and training that provides key
information on current trends in trainees, faculty and
programs. Outstanding neuroscience educators are recognized
with an annual ANDP award. Active ANDP members create an
advocacy group for neuroscience that informs policy makers
about neuroscience research and workforce needs. We work to be
the "stewards of the discipline".
