Description
Each summer, the Center for Neuroscience at the University of Pittsburgh (CNUP) sponsors a 10-week program in which selected undergraduate students conduct independent research under the guidance of individual CNUP training faculty. The 2012 CNUP Summer Undergraduate Research Program will begin on Tuesday, May 29. Student recipients of this competitive scholarship fellowship will receive a stipend of $3,500 and will be provided housing at no cost in a double-occupancy, on-campus dormitory, and a monthly pass to ride Port Authority buses for June and July. Students will be responsible for their own meals and other expenses, including travel to and from Pittsburgh.
Eligibility
Interested candidates will have completed their sophomore or junior year of undergraduate training. Successful candidates typically demonstrate grade point averages of 3.0 ("B") or higher, especially in science, math, and related coursework. Our goal in offering this fellowship is to give academically talented students the opportunity to experience the challenges and rewards of intensive, hypothesis-driven laboratory research in neuroscience. Students who envision a future for themselves in clinical medicine typically will not be competitive for this fellowship scholarship, unless that vision also includes an important potential role for laboratory-based neuroscience research. Although many students may already have some laboratory research experience, such experience is not a prerequisite for this fellowship program.
Application Procedure
Students must indicate on the scholarship application form the top 3 faculty members with whom they would like to work, plus 2 others if appropriate. Whenever possible, student/mentor pairings are determined from this list. Follow this link to view research interests of faculty participating in the 2012 Summer Program.
