Each component of the WUSTL ENDURE program is designed to provide trainees a solid foundation for future success. This begins with hypothesis-driven research in a world-class Washington University lab where students gain research skills and a taste of life as a graduate student. A summer curriculum focused on professional development hones critical thinking and communication abilities. Students also participate in an online workshop series and attend and present at the Society for Neuroscience meeting to sustain and strengthen skills during the academic year. Combined with personalized advising and an empowering community, WUSTL ENDURE offers holistic training budding neuroscientists will use for years to come.

Students are strong candidates for the program if they are:

• Interested in research and pursuing a PhD or MD/PhD in a neuroscience-related field.
• Enrolled full-time in a baccalaureate degree program.
• A US citizen or not. Generous support from the NINDS ENDURE program is dedicated for eligible US citizens and permanent residents. Additional support from WU enables us to proudly support students from any nation.
• From an underrepresented group (e.g. racial and ethnic minorities, students with disabilities, individuals from low income households and first-generation college students).
