INSTITUTIONAL GRANT FOR NEUROBIOLOGY

Sponsored by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences, NIH

 

Graduate Neuroscience Training Grant
Administered by the Department of Physiology and Biophysics
Contact: Tina Schulstad, 206-543-0954

 

Description:

This training grant provides support for pre-doctoral (Ph.D.) students in neurobiology at the University of Washington. Seventy-three faculty members from the Interdisciplinary Graduate Program in Neurobiology and Behavior serve as training grant faculty. All of these faculty members direct active, externally-funded research programs and are committed to training graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and visiting scientists. These mentors provide a breadth of neuroscience research areas extending from molecular biology to behavioral neurobiology. Further, this is a collaborative faculty. Their large number provides the opportunity for trainees to learn many different techniques and approaches to research through their lab rotations, journal clubs, seminar series and course work.

 

Qualifications:


All UW students working on dissertation research in neurobiology are eligible for support on this training grant after completing one or more years of graduate study. Note: First-year students are only rarely awarded positions on this training grant. In those exceptional cases, the student has committed to pursuing dissertation research in the advisor's laboratory and preliminary results beyond those acquired in a typical lab rotation have been included in the application. Applications from underrepresented minority students will be given special consideration.

 

Requirements:


Trainees will be required to:

1) attend training sessions in the use of animals in research offered by the Department of Comparative Medicine;
2) attend the Biomedical Research Integrity lecture series sponsored by the Medical School
3) attend NEUBEH 510, Seminar in Neurobiology, each quarter and
4) attend the annual Neurobiology Training Grant retreat.
