This program for PhD students and postdoctoral fellows training in neuroscience in the US and Canada, aims to increase diversity in neuroscience in the region, by providing graduate students and postdoctoral fellows with access to cutting-edge research approaches in contemporary neuroscience. The US/Canada Regional Committee offers fellowships that go towards costs to attend advanced neuroscience courses at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL).
About the Program
Founded in 1890, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory has shaped contemporary biomedical research and education with programs in cancer, neuroscience, plant biology and quantitative biology. Home to eight Nobel Prize winners, the private, not-for-profit Laboratory employs 1,000 people including 600 scientists, students and technicians. The Meetings & Courses Program hosts more than 12,000 scientists from around the world each year on its campuses in Long Island and in Suzhou, China.
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory is a leading international center for research and education. As part of its mission, each year CSHL organizes 25-30 scientific conferences, 20 Banbury Center meetings and 30 advanced technical science courses, with organizers, instructors and participants from all over the world.
Fellowships will be awarded to support trainees to take neuroscience or related courses at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL). CSHL offers a variety of excellent courses, and in addition is an outstanding venue for trainees to network with leaders in the field. CSHL also provides collaboration and mentoring opportunities that will be invaluable for future career development.
Application deadlines: Course dependent. Please refer to the individual course deadlines.
