Institute on Neuroscience (ION) Summer Research Program

January 24, 2018

Application

Sponsored by The Center for Behavioral Neuroscience The Neuroscience School at Georgia State University (GSU) is a summer program that offers short courses for high school students who enjoy science. These engaging courses are taught by award-winning neuroscience and psychology professors, all of whom hold interest and scholarly expertise in science education research and programming.

Most high school curricula offer minimal introductions to neuroscience (a dabble here and there in biology and psychology classes). For those students lucky enough to have their imaginations captured by their introduction to neuroscience in their high school classes, we are here to help them stretch that imagination further. Join us to learn all you can about the structure and function of the nervous system. Curious about core competency expected from a college program in neuroscience? We can help you get there. (Explore the Society for Neuroscience’s Core Competencies in Neuroscience Training at Every Stage). Want to spend summer hours with other students who share similar interests? We offer that time and space for such connections. Care to understand your self and your world in a new light? Join us to explore the intricacies of neuroscience.

“I love neuroscience because of its universality. Because it can be studied and tested and corrected—an ever-expanding, ever-improving existential philosophy. It is as much a tool to diagnose and treat as to tolerate and love.” Barron, Daniel. (2016, November 16. How Studying Neuroscience Transformed My Brain. Scientific American.)

NIH Undergraduate Scholarship Program

January 10, 2018

NIH UNDERGRADUATE SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

This program is for students from disadvantaged backgrounds who are committed to careers in biomedical, behavioral, and social science research. The program provides scholarship recipients up to $20,000 per academic year for tuition, educational, and reasonable living expenses. Scholarships are awarded for one year and can be renewed for up to four years.

For every year of scholarship support, scholars commit to two paid service obligations in the NIH Intramural Research Program. These are:

  • A ten week full-time summer internship at the NIH immediately following the year of scholarship support
  • One year of full-time work at the NIH post-graduation; this service obligation may be deferred until completion of an advanced degree program.

UGSP scholars work in research groups directed by a Principal Investigator (PI). We offer research opportunities in the biomedical, behavioral and social sciences with opportunities to explore translational and clinical research. Students with experience in biology, engineering, epidemiology, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, pharmaceutical sciences, nursing, physics, computer science,  bioinformatics and other health-related fields are invited to apply. UGSP Scholars may not work in administrative offices or outside of the NIH Intramural Research Program.

Research groups are located on several NIH campuses, including the main campus in Bethesda, MD. While the summer service obligation takes place in Bethesda, scholars may complete their post-graduation service obligation on any NIH campus.

In addition to an intensive research experience, UGSP scholars have access to:
