Overview

Mission

Black in neuro's mission is to diversify the neurosciences by building a community that celebrates and empowers black scholars and professionals in neuroscience-related fields.

What it reported doing in 2024

Mentorship program - the mentorship program is an annual program for 10 mentees and mentors offering year long networking, resournces, and support. The workshops are tailored to our black in neuro community members in order to disseminate information on navigating academic spaces and increasing employability. We hosted online workshops open to all for learning about workplace dynamics, scientific peer review, summer research internships, and mentoring.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 90% 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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
