This award provides funds to establish an interdisciplinary site REU program in Neuroscience at the University of Illinois Neural and Behavioral Biology (NBB) Program, a Ph.D. granting interdisciplinary program begun in 1970. The common focus is neuroscience, the interdisciplinary field that seeks to understand the function of nerve cells and systems from the molecular and cellular levels to that of behavior. Faculty in the program that demonstrate an extensive history of involvement of undergraduate in laboratory research have been selected as co- Principal Investigators. Collectively, faculty in NBB have sent about 75 undergraduates who worked with them into scientific careers, including faculty positions at Harvard, Yale, Chicago, Stanford, and Pennsylvania. Even greater numbers have gone on to careers in Medicine and other professional Doctorate-level fields. Neuroscience subfields in which research experience will be offered included behavioral neuroscience, neural development and plasticity, molecular, cellular and genetic neuroscience, neurophysiology, neuroanatomy, computational neuroscience, and cognitive neuroscience.

该奖项提供资金建立一个跨学科的网站 伊利诺伊大学神经科学REU项目 和行为生物学（NBB）程序，博士学位。授予 跨学科计划始于1970年。 共同的焦点是 神经科学是一个跨学科领域， 了解神经细胞和系统的功能， 分子和细胞水平的行为。 教职工 该计划显示了广泛参与历史 实验室研究的本科生被选为合作伙伴， 主要研究者。 总的来说，NBB的教师已经发送了 大约有75名本科生和他们一起工作， 职业生涯，包括在哈佛，耶鲁，芝加哥， 斯坦福大学和宾夕法尼亚州。 更多的人去了 医学等专业博士学位 领域的 神经科学子领域，研究经验将 包括行为神经科学、神经发育 和可塑性，分子，细胞和遗传神经科学， 神经生理学，神经解剖学，计算神经科学， 认知神经科学
