Kavli Discovery Fellows
In 2024, the Kavli Discovery Fellows program was established to support basic scientific research and foster collaboration between the Kavli Institute for Brain and Mind (KIBM) and the newly established Allen Discovery Center (ADC) for Neurobiology in Changing Environments at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The program will enable innovative research projects at the intersection of neurobiology and marine biology.
