The BP-ENDURE program is designed to encourage and prepare undergraduate students from diverse backgrounds in STEM fields to enter into and succeed in PhD programs in neuroscience. The program has partnered with other institutions to enrich students' experiences and foster their research skills. Throughout the academic year, participants conduct research at Hunter College or New York University. During the summer, students are placed at partnering institutions such as New York University, Brown University, University of Michigan, Vanderbilt University, or Yale University. This comprehensive approach aims to provide robust research training and mentorship to prepare students for advanced doctoral studies in the neurosciences.
