This project is building on two prior CCLI grants, 0536511 at the University of Wisconsin-Stout and 0087906 at St. Olaf College, which supported the creation of undergraduate laboratory-based coursework based on psycho-physiological research in cognitive neuroscience. The laboratory-based courses developed at the University of Wisconsin-Stout, known as C-NERVE 2.0, subsequently formed the basis of a cognitive neuroscience learning community there. C-NERVE 2.0 is an immersive undergraduate research program. Students who participate are provided with hands-on experiences designed to facilitate careers in basic or applied sciences related to cognitive neuroscience. The UW-Stout C-NERVE learning community consists of faculty from more than five different departments and over 30 undergraduates. C-NERVE students complete a series of five core courses that have been designed to include intensive hands-on digital psycho-physiological research experiences. These courses include Introduction to Cognitive Neuroscience and Applied Psycho-physiological Methods. Students serve as research assistants in several investigative labs, on a rotating basis, for up to three years. They are trained in several psycho-physiological research methods in the context of performing original research. They also take part in activities designed to involve them in the larger learning community, such as outreach activities designed to promote science education to underrepresented populations. For their capstone experience, students design and complete an original project in the role of principal investigator. Their final task is to present this final project at a conference.This project is expanding the research activities of C-NERVE, bolstering undergraduate training in the ethical conduct of research, and involving students in C-NERVE outreach efforts. It is creating an additional C-NERVE learning community at the University of South Carolina - Aiken and creating a multi-campus extended C-NERVE learning community. It will also act as a clearing house for other campuses interested in developing similar programs and functions as a surrogate for the larger scientific community while introducing students to participation in the scientific research culture.

该项目建立在 CCLI 之前的两项资助（威斯康星大学斯托特分校的 0536511 资助和圣奥拉夫学院的 0087906 资助）的基础上，该资助支持创建基于认知神经科学心理生理学研究的本科生实验室课程。 威斯康星大学斯托特分校开发的基于实验室的课程被称为 C-NERVE 2.0，随后形成了该校认知神经科学学习社区的基础。 C-NERVE 2.0 是一个沉浸式本科研究项目。 参与的学生将获得旨在促进与认知神经科学相关的基础或应用科学职业的实践经验。 UW-Stout C-NERVE 学习社区由来自 5 个以上不同院系的教师和 30 多名本科生组成。 C-NERVE 学生完成一系列五门核心课程，这些课程旨在包括密集的数字心理生理研究实践经验。这些课程包括认知神经科学简介和应用心理生理方法。学生在几个研究实验室轮流担任研究助理，任期长达三年。他们在进行原创研究的背景下接受了多种心理生理学研究方法的培训。他们还参加旨在让他们参与更大的学习社区的活动，例如旨在向代表性不足的人群推广科学教育的外展活动。为了获得他们的顶点经验，学生以首席研究员的角色设计并完成一个原创项目。他们的最终任务是在一次会议上展示这个最终项目。该项目正在扩大 C-NERVE 的研究活动，加强本科生在研究道德行为方面的培训，并让学生参与 C-NERVE 的推广工作。它正在南卡罗来纳大学艾肯分校创建一个额外的 C-NERVE 学习社区，并创建一个多校区扩展 C-NERVE 学习社区。它还将充当有兴趣开发类似项目的其他校园的信息交换所，并充当更大的科学界的代理人，同时向学生介绍科学研究文化的参与。
