The University of Vermont is offering a fellowship program that runs from May – July and offers a substantial stipend, as well as on-campus housing and a supplement for lab supplies.

• Participate in investigations of how the nervous system develops, functions and repairs itself after injury.
• Get hands-on training in molecular, cellular, anatomical, physiological approaches.
• Gain valuable experience before you enter graduate school.

This NINDS supported program is focused on training you to investigate the neuroscience of neurological disorders and stroke, and provides a stipend of $4000.  You will be trained by a team of mentors that includes both basic scientists and clinicians.   This program is for undergraduates planning to pursue a biomedically focused graduate research program, or a medical scientist (M.D., Ph.D.). Students will also shadow clinicians 1-2 times and engage in a simulation activity.

Program Specifics

• Work full-time on a research project for ten weeks.
• Attend a series of lectures providing an overview of modern neuroscience and the research 
  conducted at UVM.
• Meet regularly as a group to discuss your projects and relevant scientific approaches.
• Present your work in a small and informal symposium during the last week of the program and write a manuscript style report summarizing your project.
