Subject: Carnegie Foundation Press Release
Exciting news! We were chosen by the Carnegie Foundation to participate in
an initiative that explores innovation in doctoral training in several
disciplines, including neuroscience. We will soon assemble a group to
spearhead this effort on our campus and forge ties with the other groups and
the Carnegie Foundation. The Provost was pleased to hear that we were
selected and is giving us extra funding this year to use towards this
effort, in addition to travel support that Carnegie provides. Carnegie
intends to publish in prominent venues the ideas and plans that arise from
this 3-year initiative. I think our participation will give us a chance to
explore in a thoughtful way how to position ourselves best for doctoral
training in neuroscience, and also provide additional exposure nationally.
The press release is attached, along with the list of all participating
institutions. The Executive Committee will be discussing the initiative
soon, so please send me any comments or questions you might have on this.
