105 ENDURE PROGRAM GOALS The NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience Research initiative, "Enhancing Neuroscience Diversity through Undergraduate Research Education Experiences (ENDURE)," aims to raise interest and opportunities in neuroscience research for individuals who are typically underrepresented in the neurosciences. The goal is to provide such individuals with training at the undergraduate level, so that they are prepared to enter and successfully complete neuroscience Ph. ENDURE provides undergraduate training through partnerships between research-intensive institutions and institutions with a substantial enrollment of neuroscience majors from diverse groups. This includes individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups; individuals with disabilities; and individuals from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

ENDURE undergraduate training programs support a range of activities to increase student interest and involvement in the neurosciences, including research experiences, core and advanced neuroscience courses, seminars, and journal clubs. In FY10, five ENDURE awards were granted. In FY15, six ENDURE awards were granted. In FY19, six ENDURE awards were granted.

ENDURE MEETING GOALS As issued, the most recent RFA (RFA-NS-19-007) cites “it is a goal of this initiative that the NIH Blueprint Institutes will convene an annual meeting that will bring together BP-ENDURE program directors and participating students.” The purpose of the meeting will be to discuss best practices and provide a forum for student scientific and academic enhancing activities. An additional goal and outcome for this annual meeting is to provide linkage and opportunity for collaboration with existing diversity (example: Neuroscience Scholars Program) and undergraduate (example: Faculty for Undergraduate Neuroscience) programs already at Society for Neuroscience. The students will enhance their networks with other ENDURE participants, peer mentoring from diverse graduate students, and T32 program directors. ORGANIZING COMMITTEE Dr.

By pooling resources and expertise, Blueprint identifies cross-cutting areas of research, and confronts challenges too large for any single Institute or Center. This year’s NIH Blueprint welcome is presented by Dr.

David Shurtleff, NCCIH David Shurtleff, Ph. Deputy Director, National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) David Shurtleff, Ph., is Deputy Director of the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH), performing a wide range of activities aimed toward directing, and implementing a program of research that builds a scientific evidence base about complementary and integrative health approaches that advances fundamental knowledge, and informs decision making by the public, by health care professionals, and by health policymakers. Shurtleff’s 24-year career at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has focused on providing leadership and fostering an extensive research portfolio in the basic behavioral and neurosciences—cognitive studies, behavioral economics, decision theory —and a broad spectrum of research that has contributed to cutting-edge research related to drug abuse, addiction, and complementary and integrative health care. Shurtleff began his NIH career in 1995 at the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA).

From 2001 to 2010, he served as the Director of the Division of Basic Neuroscience and Behavioral Research at NIDA. From January 2011 to June 2013, he served as the Acting Deputy Director of NIDA. Before coming to NIH, Dr. Shurtleff was a research psychologist at the Naval Medical Research Institute (NMRI), where he conducted research related to cognitive performance, and environmental stress.

Prior to joining NMRI, he was a research fellow at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research. He has received various honors and awards including several NIH Director’s Awards. One of these awards recognized his outstanding contributions to the 2014 President’s BRAIN Initiative. 5 PANEL SPEAKERS Each accomplished researcher will share their research background and answer general questions from their respective lens including early lessons from graduate school, being a diverse scientist, and the big picture view of a research career.

Candidate, Interdisciplinary Program of Neuroscience Georgetown University Kaela S. Singleton is a Ph. candidate in the Interdisciplinary Program of Neuroscience at Georgetown University (GU). She is interested in how neurons gain unique identity and function during development.

Her thesis research addresses this by utilizing multiple species and molecular techniques to investigate how transcription factor function changes throughout neural development and between mammalian and non- mammalian models. Born in Texas and raised in Grayson, Georgia, Kaela earned a B. in Neuroscience and Classical History & Culture from Agnes Scott College where she earned the BP-ENDURE fellowship. She conducted research at Emory, Georgia State, and Vanderbilt University investigating how disruption in cellular and molecular programs lead to various neurological disorders including stroke, Autism Spectrum Disorders, and Rett Syndrome.

To date, Kaela has won spots on two GU T32s in integrative neuroscience and neural injury to further her research endeavors. She is a current D-SPAN Scholar, and co-authored and published five scientific manuscripts and six abstracts. She has presented her research at ten national conferences and continues to be active in the neuroscience community through teaching and outreach. She believes that the formation of a professional identity is similar to the formation of a neuron’s identity, where both processes are driven by intrinsic and extrinsic factors that interact to create a mature and unique individual.

Her goal is to aide in the development of students’ professional identities while continuing to investigate the factors essential to a neuronal identity. Ishmail Abdus-Saboor, Ph. Blutt Presidential Assistant Professor of Biology University of Pennsylvania Dr. Ishmail Abdus-Saboor was born and raised in Philadelphia and received his bachelor’s degree in Animal Science from North Carolina A&T University in 2006, having completed internships in research labs in academia and industry, as well as a veterinary clinic and a farm.
