Our goal is to support highly innovative and productive research in basic, translational, and clinical neuroscience by promoting an exciting and inclusive environment that empowers all members of our community to contribute to scientific discovery and clinical translation. Our goal is to generate an environment that fosters creative approaches to fully understand brain and nervous system function and develop therapies and cures for disease and eventually preventive measures. We commit to listening to and learning from the many and different voices of our community in order to remove barriers to opportunities and success for everyone.
Statement Promoting Equal Opportunity
We denounce all forms of racism and bias endemic in our society. Bias, as well as structural and overt racism, negatively impact our trainees, staff and faculty, and prevent us from reaching our full potential. We pledge that:
- All our faculty, trainees, and staff will be attentive to steps required to ensure equal opportunity for all.
- We will continue to build partnerships with local and all underserved communities to provide opportunities in science and medicine.
- We will actively listen to and respect, support, as well as advocate for our trainees, faculty and staff to ensure that everyone is treated fairly, feels welcomed and appreciated at Mount Sinai, and has the tools they need for professional success.
- We will work to extend this focus on the neuroscience community to the greater community at Mount Sinai.
