SOMAS Program:
Support of Mentors and Their Students in the Neurosciences
The SOMAS Program is pleased to announce the 2008 SOMAS summer fellowship program designed to support junior faculty (untenured/pre-tenure assistant professors, typically within 5 years of having completed Ph.D. and postdoctoral training) in the neurosciences seeking to launch research programs with undergraduate student collaborators. Faculty from predominantly undergraduate institutions will be eligible for awards of up to $10,000 to cover a supply budget, summer student housing, faculty and student stipends, and travel expenses to the joint Annual Meetings of the Society for Neuroscience and Faculty for Undergraduate Neuroscience.
Application deadline is December 1, 2007, with awards made in early February for the 2008 summer research effort. Up to six awards will be made for the 2008 program. Faculty members with little experience in grant-writing or those from institutions serving women and minority groups underrepresented in the sciences are particularly encouraged to apply.
