About the NGL Program
The program is designed to foster community, exchange of ideas, innovation, and collaboration among the NGLs and between the NGLs and the Allen Institute.
Next Generation Leaders complete a three-year term and will have opportunities to interface with ongoing research in brain science, cell science, immunology, synthetic biology, and data science; engage with team science, big science, and open science practices; and ultimately act as ambassadors for the Allen Institute and open science resources.
