Since 2021 NEUROEAST — a Del Monte Institute for Neuroscience Diversity Commission program — has been offering Rochester City School District (RCSD) high school students first-hand experience in University of Rochester neuroscience research labs. Students learn how scientific is conducted, are mentored on navigating education and training necessary to pursue a career in research, and receive a stipend for their involvement.
NEUROEAST embodies the Neuroscience Diversity Commission mission — creating opportunities for students from disadvantaged backgrounds to explore and experience the field of neuroscience, and to guide interested them into the research field.
NEUROEAST is funded by a generous grant from the Mother Cabrini Health Foundation.
