Neuroscience Professional Development Award
Every Neuroscience major who completes an independent research project may apply for funding to present their work at the annual Society for Neuroscience annual meeting. This international meeting represents the premier venue for neuroscience work and typically attracts more than 30,000 neuroscienctists each year.
For Centenary students, attending this meeting provides an unparalleled opportunity to meet the leaders in the field, network with potential mentors and their students, and interview with prospective employers.
In the words of Centenary students who have attended the meeting in the past:
“Attending the SFN meeting gave me a taste of the dynamics of an international neuroscience meeting. It was incredibly interesting to talk to neuroscientists and graduate students about their research.” Brad Kraemer (Class of 2008)
“…presenting my research at an international forum, has provided me with a spectacular experience that is not often available to undergraduate neuroscience students.”
Deana Apple (Class of 2009)
Established in the Spring of 2007, the Neuroscience Professional Development Awards Endowed Fund will provide travel awards to help offset the costs associated with attending the SfN meeting.
Contributions to this fund are exclusively used to support neuroscience student travel.
