In response to increasing pressures and difficulties in initiating and sustaining a research career, WWN-IBRO is establishing two new skill building programs for 2026. These programs are comprised of 4-6 sessions focused on providing practical knowledge on a specific core topic, culminating with attendees receiving a certificate of completion (CME format). We are starting with two such programs in 2026:
- Research Management 101 (May-July 2026)
- Scientific Writing (TBD)
Research Management 101
Early-career neuroscientists are often expected to lead labs, secure funding, and manage teams, without ever being formally trained to do so. To bridge this gap, #WorldWomenNeuro, in collaboration with IBRO, is launching a Skill Building Program called “Research Management 101” designed to support you in building and leading your first research lab.
The theme for this #WWNSkillBuilding program is Launch & Lead: Building Your First Lab with Purpose, People, and Partnerships
Over 5 sessions, this program will equip you with:
– Leadership and goal-setting strategies
– Tools to build and manage a research team
– Insights on funding, collaborations, and sustainability
– Approaches to creating inclusive lab environments
Session line-up:
- May 19: Building Your Vision
- June 2: Building Your Lab Culture Before It Builds Itself
- June 16: Building Resources & Leveraging Collaborations
- June 30: Building Your Community Inside and Out
- July 14: Building Inclusive and Intentional Mentoring
📢 Registrations opening soon, stay tuned!
