A new summer program at West Virginia University is providing research opportunities in neuroscience for undergraduate students from underrepresented and global communities, including Ukraine. Launched by WVU’s Center for Foundational Neuroscience Research and Education, Neuroscience Undergraduate Research Opportunities consists of two components – an in-person opportunity designed to bring underrepresented minority undergraduate students to campus and an online offering for Ukrainian undergraduate students. The research-intensive summer program provides participants with the opportunity to experience WVU’s neuroscience research culture, facilities and resources and interact with innovative techniques and projects. By training undergraduate students who are interested in continuing their education and conducting state-of-the-art research, the program aims to meet the growing need for neuroscience graduate-level students with research experience.
