As part of our effort to promote diversity, equity, and inclusivity, we have collected here links to various resources and organizations whose mission is to serve and support underrepresented persons. We have gathered these resources with help from our students and faculty, and which we actively review and update to support engagement. If you find a dead link or have a resource to suggest, please do not hesitate to contact the program office (grad-neuroscience@uiowa.edu). Likewise, if you are looking for a resource and cannot find it here, please contact the program office or the Graduate College (gradcoll@uiowa.edu) so that we can assist you.
