The Zusman Workshop is a collaborative network that stimulates new ideas among scientists and encourages collaborations and research by bringing rising-star investigators and under-represented minorities together. This workshop offers a hyper-focused environment with an incubator set up, intended to allow participants to attend technical presentations on targeted subjects, followed by a facilitatory environment where there is continuation over time on the progress of their science. Workshop participants are encouraged to discuss ideas with other investigators and are urged to collaborate on the projects based on the ideas exchanged during the workshop. Participants will have the chance to present their work at the next meeting. Travel awards will be presented to participants to help continue their proposed projects.

This workshop is funded by the NIH NINDS Award number 1R13NS130938-01
