Discover Funding Opportunities

Each summer, the Center for Neuroscience at the University of Pittsburgh (CNUP) hosts undergraduates for a 10-week program to conduct independent research with a University of Pittsburgh neuroscience faculty of their choice. The research will be conducted in a laboratory setting and students will gain technical knowledge of neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, molecular biology, brain imaging, computer simulations, neuropsychology, and behavioral assessments. The fellowship provides a $4000 stipend and monthly bus passes for the duration of the program. This opportunity is designed for students who have completed their sophomore or junior years at a college or university in the U.S. and are enrolled full-time with a 3.0 GPA or higher in the areas of science or math. International students are also eligible if they can provide official authorization for Optional Practical Training (OPT) from their institution.
