This
program provides a rich experience in neuroscience. In the first
month students are exposed to neuroscience laboratory techniques,
contemporary neuroscience research in seminar and lecture formats; in
ethics using case studies; in survival skills such as grant writing,
teaching, and public speaking, using lecture and workshop formats. In a
second optional month, students may apply to work full time in a
research laboratory at the MBL, especially those funded by the National
Institute of Mental Health. The program is targeted to groups
underrepresented in neuroscience to increase the probability of
professional success, although applications from any qualified student
who is interested in the SPINES curriculum are welcome.
This is a full fellowship program; all costs of attending the course,
including travel, housing, and meals at MBL are covered by the National
Institute of Mental Health and MBL.
