provided opportunities to form professional relationships that carry them through their careers in neuroscience. There are both regional and national Nu Rho Psi meetings where young neuroscientists from around the United States gather to share scientific findings. Nu Rho Psi offers competitive travel awards for members to attend and present their research at the annual Society for Neuroscience meeting. Nu Rho Psi also offers competitive small grants to facilitate member's senior theses or summer research projects. Nu Rho Psi mentors members through publications (e.g. The Nu Rho Psi Guide to Graduate School in Neuroscience ) and other outreach activities of the society.

Members receive membership certificates and lapel pins as an indication of the honor they have earned. Activities and regional/national meetings As documented in the Nu Rho Psi News, individual Nu Rho Psi chapters organize a variety of service and educational activities throughout the year. Regional Vice-Presidents provide leadership of the federation of chapters in the region where they reside and represent their region through service on the national council. They are also responsible for promoting Nu Rho Psi activities during the regional undergraduate neuroscience meetings (e.g. mGluRs, NEURON, SYNAPSE, MIDBRAINS). Nu Rho Psi holds an annual National Membership meeting during the Society for Neuroscience conference. In 2014 the national council established an annual theme for its chapters. Nu Rho Psi chapters use this theme as a focal point in planning educational and service activities for the academic year. List of current chapters Nu Rho Psi chapters are divided into four regional areas in the United States (Northeast, Midwest, South, and West), each with their own representative vice-president.
