Programs & Initiatives

Project #BoostINCC

  • Project #BoostINCC – it is well documented that women and underrepresented individuals undersell their accomplishments and are less inclined to self-promotion, though visibility is an essential component of academic advancement and promotion. Project #BoostINCC is a way to operationalize a way to amplify the achievements of INCC members.

    • Email us at contact.NCS.INCC@gmail.com so we can amplify your accomplishments (e.g., promotion, change in job, new leadership positions, paper/book publications, awards, scholarships, new grants, significant life events, etc.). Photos are encouraged with social media request submissions!

    • Or alternatively, use the #BoostINCC and we will amplify on Twitter!

INCC Mentorship Program

  • The INCC Mentorship program partners with the Trainee Committee, as well as other NCS Committees devoted to mentorship, to increase the diversity of mentors available in the NCS Mentorship Program.  The program also endeavors to provide mentorship to those interested in research or administrative roles in the field of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
  • The INCC Mentorship program is seeking out other forums for mentorship that may expand the pool of mentors not able to commit to the NCS Mentorship Program.
    • Sample article from the Advice and Suggestions to Questions about Careers in Neurocritical Care Series in Currents:

      • Life Versus Academia

      • Navigating Conversations About Race and Discrimination

      • How to Form a Cohesive Team and Give Feedback to Trainees

  • Submit questions to contact.NCS.INCC@gmail.com, and we will get them answered by a seasoned advisor. 

INCC Speaker’s Bureau

  • Historically, there have been significant disparities in representation of speaking invitations for women, allied health professionals, and people of color. Ultimately they have fewer speaker opportunities which has implications in terms of academic promotions and future opportunities.

  • Submit your name to be added to the Speaker’s Bureau – we encourage people to self-nominate!

INCC Annual Meeting Events

  • INCC Family Night

    • Dinner before the meeting is a relaxing way to meet other families with kids, let the kids get comfortable with each other, and maybe even plan another time to eat or play with new (or old!) friends.

    • 2019 was the inaugural event held at The Old Spaghetti Factory (see photos)

    • 2020 was a virtual pajama party where we watched two short films and the children had an opportunity to show off their pajamas and interact.
      • Also, the 2020 Annual Meeting Website featured WINCC-curated online resources to entertain children of all ages during the virtual meeting.
    • 2021 Family Night was a virtual, interactive kid-focused magic show featuring Tricky Tim.
    • 2022: Family Night kicked off in-person at the Poolside Cabanas at the JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country and wrapped the night with magic show featuring Magic Fred

Childcare for the NCS Annual Meeting

  • In 2019, the NCS Board of Directors and Executive Committee approved the WINCC section proposal to provide on-site, drop-off childcare for conference attendees. The WINCC section was able to demonstrate the need for childcare at the Annual Meeting after surveying the entire NCS membership. NCS was the first neurology-based annual conference to provide on-site childcare to conference attendees.

  • In 2022, NCS was pleased to continue offering childcare services to all conference attendees for the 20th Annual Meeting.
