ASSOCIATION
OF NEUROSCIENCE DEPARTMENTS AND PROGRAMS
2007 SPRING MEETING
Hyatt Regency Bethesda
Bethesda, MD
May 5-6, 2007
Please mark your
calendars now for the ANDP Spring Meeting in Bethesda, MD on May
5 and May 6, 2007. This is the most important annual
meeting for those of us involved in graduate and postdoctoral
education in the neurosciences. Your participation is
important to the group's mission and is likely to have direct
impact on how you administer your program.
An exciting program is planned for this meeting focusing on
several new and important topics. Panel sessions and
speakers directly relevant to graduate and postdoctoral training
are on tap including: Funding Graduate Education
in a Time of Declining NIH Resources; The Role of Training
Grants and Fellowships at NIMH; Where Graduate Education Fits at
ANDP and SFN; Mentoring the Mentors; and Interactive
Neuroscience Tools. And, of course, you'll get to
meet representatives from new member programs and talk with
many colleagues who share your passion about graduate training!
You will be receiving an agenda and registration forms in the
mail in the next few weeks, and we encourage you to register
on-line at the ANDP website. The deadline to register to
attend the Spring Meeting is April 16. Registration will
be $225 for the meeting, including the banquet on Saturday
and breakfast and lunch on Sunday. So don't delay to
register for this important event now.
The meeting will be
held at the Bethesda Hyatt, conveniently available from National Airport
and other DC locations on the metro red line. The deadline
to reserve your room at the Hyatt at the ANDP rate is April
7. However, the number of rooms available at this rate are
limited and the hotel is very popular and tends to fill up
quickly. Contact the Hyatt at (301) 657-1234 to make
your reservation as soon as possible. Watch for the
forms and plan to spend a lively and enlightening weekend. Feel
free to pass this information on to an interested colleague.
