In addition to our regular programming, Grey Matter Project may introduce additional events to spotlight niche and member-driven interests in neuroscience and related fields. Designed to be flexible and dynamic, these events will occur sporadically and aim to spark curiosity, foster discussions, and expand our understanding of neuroscience beyond the standard curriculum.
NeuroVation Challenge

The NeuroVation Challenge is a competition organized by the Grey Matter Project and designed to inspire and encourage students to bring neuroscience and medicine into their communities via innovative service projects. The mission of NeuroVation is to raise awareness of neurological diseases, disorders, or the broader field of neuroscience and psychology. Projects should emphasize education and direct community engagement, rather than fundraising or research projects.
The project goal is to have teams submit a thorough proposal of a way that they can impact their local community. Please refer to the guide in the Linktree for more details.
Applications are open now through Oct. 2, 2026, 11:59 p.m. EST. Register by clicking the button below.
There will be a kickoff event on Oct. 3, 11 a.m. EST via Zoom (link provided after registration). Those interested in participating in the NeuroVation competition must have team member(s) represented at this meeting. This meeting will cover topics including competition details, previous winners, and how to have a successful presentation. Please refer to the Linktree for more information.
The final submission for NeuroVation has two parts: an asynchronous project proposal and a synchronous project presentation to live judges.
