The Networking and Expanding Undergraduate Research On the Neurobiology of Aging Program was created with the help of an NIH grant to provide students at different education levels with a research mentor, a personalized career mentorship committee, resources that will facilitate hands-on laboratory research, as well as seminars and workshops related to brain aging and ADRDs.
The NEURON-Aging Program funds students at three different levels of their pre-graduate career:
- Undergraduates enrolled in the University of Florida in their first or second year of university.
- Undergraduate students from outside of UF who have completed at least two years of undergraduate studies to participate in our Summer Neuroscience Internship Program (SNIP) over the summer.
- Postbaccalaureate training for students interested in pursuing a Ph.D. in an aging related field.
UF Undergraduate Research Program
Accepted students receive up to 2 years of paid support for mentored research training in the laboratory of a primary investigator studying the neurobiology of aging and Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias.
Summer Internship Neuroscience Program (SNIP)
The Summer Neuroscience Internship Program aims to support college students from diverse backgrounds who seek to pursue doctoral (Ph.D.) training in neuroscience and prepare for rewarding careers in biomedical research, education and enterprise.
Postbaccalaureate Training
Students who have graduated with an undergraduate degree and are interested in pursuing a Ph.D. will work with a research mentor in the area of rain aging or ADRD research.
