The ANDP will also announce and welcome newly elected ANDP officers.

The highlight of the ANDP meeting will be our award recognition of Educators in the Neurosciences. This year the ANDP Education Award will be given to recognize an individual’s contributions, the ANDP Distinguished Service Award will recognize an institution’s longstanding commitment to neuroscience education, and the ANDP special award will acknowledge a director’s role in mentoring trainees and building an interdisciplinary neuroscience program.
