The Brain Awareness Campaign is an international program designed to increase public awareness of the benefits and promises of neuroscience research.  The University of Minnesota Medical School Duluth has been participating in Brain Awareness since 1998.

The primary outreach component of the University of Minnesota Brain Awareness program is visits to elementary schools throughout the state.  Since 1998, over 225 students and faculty volunteers from the Medical School Duluth and the University of Minnesota Duluth have talked to approximately 25,000 5th and 6th grade students about brain science and brain health.

The Medical School Duluth also hosts the preliminary round of the Minnesota State Brain Bee.
