Draft:Society for Equity Neuroscience (SEQUINS)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


The Society for Equity Neuroscience (SEQUINS) is an international membership organization for equity neuroscientists. SEQUINS seeks to promote health equity via science.[1] SEQUINS was founded in 2024 by Bruce Ovbiagele.[2] Equity Neuroscience involves identifying and addressing the key obstacles and enablers to proper functioning of the brain for everyone, every time, and everywhere.[3][1] Important demographic disparities and inequities studied by equity neuroscientists include sex-gender, racial-ethnic, geographic, socioeconomic, and global.[1] Equity neuroscientists traverse all branches of sciences, all stages of translational research, all types of neurological disease, and several professional disciplines.[1] Initiatives affiliated with SEQUINS include the TRANCENDS program, [4][5], HEADS-UP program,[6][7], TALENTS program,[8], and GRASP program[9] These programs are designed to address the increasing burden of neurological disease worldwide,[10] the disproportionately greater toll of neurological disease among certain groups and regions,[11] the need for science-based social interventions for bridging neurological inequities,[12] underrepresentation of key populations in the scientific and medical workforces,[13] and the call to achieve brain health for all in the 21st century.[14]
