Overview
Mission
The Association of Medical School Neuroscience Department Chairpersons (AMSNDC) is an organization dedicated to promoting neuroscience as a scientific discipline, and to represent the interests of departments within medical school settings whose major focus resides in research and training in the neural sciences.
What it reported doing in 2025
The AMSNDC Annual Meeting brings together neuroscience department chairs and vice chairs from medical schools across the country for several days of shared learning, strategic discussion, and collegial exchange. The meeting provides a forum to discuss the challenges and opportunities facing academic neuroscience departments - from faculty development and departmental leadership to research funding, education, and institutional strategy - while building relationships with peers who face similar issues at their own institutions. In addition to the professional program, the meeting includes social events and activities designed to foster informal connection among attendees and their guests. The Annual Meeting is open to AMSNDC members (department chairs and vice chairs) and their registered social guests.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 100% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
