The BP-ENDURE connects research-intensive institutions to institutions that have substantial enrollments of neuroscience majors from traditionally underrepresented groups. The current programs that interface with Vanderbilt are consortiums from: New York (Hunter College and NYU), Georgia (Agnes Scott College, Spelman College, Emory University and Georgia State University), and Texas (University of Texas Health Science Center). Students at these colleges and universities apply for BP-ENDURE through their home institution.

The program supports a range of activities to increase undergraduate students’ interest in the neurosciences, including research experiences, curriculum development, seminars and journal clubs.
