Registration will close March 15 for this year’s National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke T32 Workshop, to be hosted this year at UNMC on June 26-28.
The NINDS T32 Workshop is an annual gathering of trainees and faculty, along with NINDS staff, for networking, learning and community building.
The conference will draw T32 grant, institutional training grant, holders from throughout the United States, said Howard Gendelman, MD, Margaret R. Larson Professor of Internal Medicine and Infectious Diseases and chair of the UNMC Department of Pharmacology and Experimental Neuroscience.
Dr. Gendelman also will give the keynote address on June 26, speaking on “The Neuroimmunity of Alzheimer’s Disease.”
“For decades, our medical center has viewed graduate education as the top academic priority,” Dr. Gendelman said. “Meetings, lectures, discussions, opportunities and achievements on individual and group levels have grown at enormous speeds. However, this is the first time that the National Institutes of Health-National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke has recognized our medical center with the distinction of holding its annual meeting at our doorstep in Omaha.
“We are thrilled with this distinction and trust our students and faculties will engage as they are able.”
T32 grants enable institutions to recruit individuals selected by them for predoctoral and postdoctoral research training in specified shortage areas.
