The Society for Equity Neuroscience (SEQUINS) is an international membership organization for equity neuroscientists. SEQUINS seeks to promote health equity via science.[1] SEQUINS was founded in 2024 by Bruce Ovbiagele.[2] Equity Neuroscience involves identifying and addressing the key obstacles and enablers to proper functioning of the brain for everyone, every time, and everywhere.[1] Important demographic disparities and inequities studied by equity neuroscientists include sex-gender, racial-ethnic, geographic, socioeconomic, and global.[1] Equity neuroscientists traverse all branches of sciences, all stages of translational research, all types of neurological disease, and several professional disciplines.[1] Initiatives affiliated with SEQUINS include the TRANCENDS program, [3][4], HEADS-UP program,[5][6], TALENTS program,[7], and GRASP program[8] These programs are designed to address the increasing burden of neurological disease worldwide,[9] the disproportionately greater toll of neurological disease among certain groups and regions,[10] the need for science-based social interventions for bridging neurological inequities,[11] underrepresentation of key populations in the scientific and medical workforces,[12] and the call to achieve brain health for all in the 21st century.[13]
