Project Description
NEUFIN (Neuroscience in First Nations) is a unique, advanced research training and mentoring program focused on the indigenous minorities of South America, one of the most underserved populations in the globe. This project will continue to build capacity and train Quechua neuroscientists on clinical research applications of neuroimaging, genetics, epidemiology, neuropsychology, and neuromodulation. The project also creates personalized training environments and an innovation ecosystem online to support capacity and career development for Quechua neuroscientists after completion of their initial degree.
