  • Could build a small cohort of postdoctoral fellows working in Neuroscience & Society, with diverse disciplinary backgrounds.
  • Example: Professional training programs
    • Could support tailored programs that offer discipline-based training in Neuroscience & Society such as clinical ethics training, training in law and neuroscience, and social  science training for neuroscientists.
• Research
  • Example: Embedded ethics in a neuroscience or neuroengineering lab
    • Could support active and on-going rigorous collaboration between neuroscientists/ neuroengineers and Neuroscience & Society scholars.
  • Example: Innovation hub
    • Could facilitate partnership between academic researchers and private sector  neurotechnology companies.
