In light of the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic and the impact on global health, as well as disruption to daily life and business across the world, we are delaying the Neuroscience 2020 abstract submission window. The previously scheduled submission window of April 9-30, 2020 is now July 6-16, 2020.

SfN takes very seriously the unprecedented and rapidly developing global health situation with COVID-19 (coronavirus) and continues to closely monitor all developments.

Ten members of the Society for Neuroscience (SfN) have been selected from a highly competitive applicant pool to travel to Washington, D.C. to participate in the Society’s annual Capitol Hill Day on March 5, 2020.

The Society for Neuroscience (SfN) appreciates the funding increases provided to federal biomedical research agencies for FY 2020 and thanks Congress for their work in completing these bills before the continuing resolution expired on December 20.

The Society for Neuroscience (SfN) announced the 15 neuroscience trainees in the inaugural class of the Leadership Development Program (LDP). This two-year pilot program, supported in part by the Dana Foundation, will offer professional development training for exceptional trainees and future leaders in the field of brain science.

The Society for Neuroscience (SfN) will present its highest honor, the Ralph W.Gerard Prize in Neuroscience, to Michael Greenberg, PhD, and Catherine Dulac, PhD.

The Society for Neuroscience (SfN) and the Grass Foundation have established two endowments to ensure long-term support for the Albert and Ellen Grass Lecture and the Donald B. Lindsley Prize in Behavioral Neuroscience.

The Society for Neuroscience (SfN) will award the Nemko Prize in Cellular or Molecular Neuroscience to Lauren Mackenzie Reynolds, PhD, a postdoctoral fellow at Sorbonne Université in Paris. The Nemko Prize recognizes a young neuroscientist for his or her PhD thesis that advances the understanding of molecular, genetic or cellular mechanisms underlying higher brain function and cognition.

The Society for Neuroscience (SfN) will present the Jacob P. Waletzky Award to Thomas Kash, PhD, at Neuroscience 2019. The award, supported by the Waletzky Award Prize Fund and the Waletzky Family, is given to a young scientist whose independent research has led to significant conceptual and empirical contributions to the understanding of drug addiction.

John Rinzel, PhD, will receive the 2019 Swartz Prize for Theoretical and Computational Neuroscience. The prize, supported by the Swartz Foundation, honors an individual whose work has produced a significant cumulative contribution to theoretical models or computational methods in neuroscience or who has made a particularly noteworthy recent advance to the field.
