Description:
The primary purpose of our program, established in 1996, is to provide 12 students with a closely-mentored, hands-on graduate level basic research experience in an active neuroscience laboratory on the Piscataway or New Brunswick campus of Rutgers University.

Students in our program spend the majority of their time (regular weekday working hours) carrying out a research project under the supervision of program faculty mentors, similar to a research rotation for first-year PhD graduate students. This process involves formulating and articulating a hypothesis, learning laboratory skills, solving problems, collecting and documenting data, attending lab meetings and journal clubs, and presenting their work at the end of the summer.

All students in the program receive a $4000 stipend and free housing in a secure building on the College Avenue Campus of Rutgers University. Campus-wide shuttle bus access is available throughout the summer for transport between student housing and research labs.
