The target audience is researchers at all levels of their careers (beyond undergraduate), including graduate students, post-doctoral researchers, and PI's in neuroscience, broadly defined. Participants should have basic skills in statistics and computing; previous exposure to neuroimaging is preferable but not necessary.  We expect to train roughly 30 students in this first year of the course. Students in the UCLA NITP training program are required to take this course in the summer before their second year, providing a strong foundation for their next year of training. 

With generous support from the National Institutes of Health under the Blueprint Initiative, this program will be offered for free to all accepted participants. In addition, there is limited free on-campus housing available for participants from other institutions.
