Undergraduate Neurosciences Summer Research Program in Mechanisms of Behavior

杜克大学的本科生神经科学项目计划为有机会参与主要研究型大学神经科学研究的本科生提供一个暑期研究项目。将围绕“行为机制”这一主题组织研究和培训经验。强调综合、系统和行为神经科学，将杜克大学这一跨学科领域内的教师研究兴趣统一起来，是该项目学生可获得的个人项目的共同主题。为期十周的暑期计划的重点将是与一名参与的教职员工一起进行研究指导。每周两次的系列研讨会--“神经科学研究”和“科学基础”--将被列入暑期课程表。“神经科学研究”将专注于正在进行的教师研究，这样，该项目中的学生就可以接触到导师特定兴趣之外的神经科学研究领域。《科学基础》将讲述与科学职业相关的实际问题。暑期项目将以为期两天的熟悉静修活动开始，并以一个研究论坛结束。参加“行为机制”的申请将接受二年级本科生的申请。该方案对接受妇女和少数民族以及文科学院本科生的申请特别感兴趣。

The Undergraduate Neuroscience Program at Duke University plans a summer research program for undergraduates who will have the opportunity to become involved in neuroscience research at a major research university. Research and training experiences will be organized around the theme of "Mechanisms of Behavior". The emphasis on integrative, systems, and behavioral neuroscience that unifies faculty research interests within this interdisciplinary field at Duke serves as the common theme for the individual projects available to student participants in the program. The focus of the ten-week summer program for each student will be a research mentorship with a participating faculty member. Two weekly seminar series - "Research in the Neuroscience" and "Science Basics" - will be included in the summer schedule. "Research in the Neuroscience" will focus on ongoing faculty research so those students in the program gain exposure to the field of neuroscience research beyond their mentor's specific interests. "Science Basics" will address practical matters pertaining to science careers. The summer program will begin with a two-day familiarization retreat and will close with a research forum. Applications to participate in "Mechanisms in Behavior" will be accepted from sophomore undergraduates. The Program is especially interested in receiving applications from women and minorities as well as undergraduates at liberal arts colleges.
