About us
The Neuroscience REU Program selects twelve students each year. Students receive a stipend of $3100 to support their hours of lab research and to cover travel, project materials, general academic supplies, and books. The stipend is not intended to cover housing, as our program is open only to undergraduates currently enrolled in a public college or university in the New York metropolitan area.
To be eligible to apply, each student must be able to fulfill all of the following requirements by the start of the REU program:
be a U.S. citizen or non-citizen permanent resident
be enrolled as a full-time student at a public college or university in the New York metropolitan area (including SUNY programs and institutions in New Jersey), leading to a baccalaureate or associate degree
have completed the following courses: introductory psychology; biological psychology, neuropsychology, or physiological psychology; and experimental psychology or research methods (or an equivalent)
have at least sophomore standing (i.e., completed 24 college credits)
have an overall GPA of 3.3 or higher
have at least one semester of undergraduate school remaining before graduation
Although all eligible students are welcome to apply, we especially encourage applications from students who are members of underrepresented groups in the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines, which include but are not limited to:
students who are racial/ethnic minorities, first-generation college students, women, and veterans
students who have experienced educational or economic disadvantage or other personal circumstances that may have impeded their transition to the next stage of training towards a science career.
