Proposal No: 1004244 Title: Grant to Support The NorthEast Under/Graduate Research Organization for Neuroscience (NEURON) PI: Frye, Cheryl Anne The Northeast Under/graduate Research Organization for Neuroscience (NEURON) has educated and promoted young neuroscientist professional development through annual one-day conferences. Over the past 15 years, NEURON has served over 4,000 trainees, the majority of which are those from racial and/or ethnic minority groups and/or other groups traditionally underrepresented in science. This proposal is to fund the 2009-2010 program. The Fall 2009 NEURON meeting will be held at the Boston Latin School (BLS), the 1st public school in the nation. BLS is an inner-city, high-performing school, which requires an entrance exam, with a high proportion of minority students from greater Boston. The NEURON meeting will be integrated with related activities at BLS (3-day event of the 37th Anniversary of BLS, annual science fair). Scientific information will be disseminated to participants via a keynote address, poster session, and workshops. All activities are designed to enhance outreach, networking, and opportunities for integration among high schools, colleges, and universities. Activities include a Brain Primer, which is an introduction about neuroscience given by Brian Persaud, who works for MATCH, a public charter school in Boston that operates in conjunction with Boston University. Other workshops include Getting into grad school and being successful, Society for Neuroscience, What it is and how to take advantage of it, and Partnerships in Neuroscience Research. By our integration of these events, we will increase participation by high school students and minorities, broaden the scope of outreach (local to nationwide) and continue NEURON's dedication to addressing research, training, education and pipeline issues. The Spring 2010 NEURON meeting will be held in collaboration with Hunter College's Annual Psychology Conference in New York City. Dr. Eric Nestler is the keynote speaker. There will be workshops on Getting into grad school and being successful, Grantsmanship, and Enhancing diversity in science. Funding of this program will enable NEURON to continue to have a significant impact on trainees and faculty who work closely with them.

提案编号：1004244 标题：资助东北神经科学研究组织（NEURON） PI：Frye，Cheryl Anne 东北神经科学研究组织（NEURON）通过每年一期教育和促进年轻神经科学家的专业发展为期一天的会议。在过去 15 年中，NEURON 已为 4,000 多名学员提供服务，其中大多数来自种族和/或少数民族群体和/或传统上在科学领域代表性不足的其他群体。该提案旨在为 2009-2010 年计划提供资金。 2009 年秋季 NEURON 会议将在美国第一所公立学校波士顿拉丁学校 (BLS) 举行。 BLS 是一所位于市中心的高性能学校，需要入学考试，其中来自大波士顿地区的少数族裔学生比例很高。 NEURON 会议将与 BLS 的相关活动（为期 3 天的 BLS 37 周年纪念活动，年度科学博览会）结合起来。科学信息将通过主题演讲、海报会议和研讨会向参与者传播。所有活动均旨在加强高中、学院和大学之间的外展、网络和融合机会。活动包括 Brain Primer，这是由 Brian Persaud 提供的关于神经科学的介绍，他在 MATCH 工作，MATCH 是波士顿的一所公立特许学校，与波士顿大学联合运营。其他研讨会包括进入研究生院并取得成功、神经科学协会、它是什么以及如何利用它以及神经科学研究的合作伙伴关系。通过整合这些活动，我们将增加高中生和少数族裔的参与，扩大外展范围（地方到全国），并继续 NEURON 致力于解决研究、培训、教育和管道问题。 2010 年春季 NEURON 会议将与亨特学院在纽约市举行的年度心理学会议合作举行。埃里克·内斯特勒博士是主讲人。将会举办关于进入研究生院并取得成功、资助和增强科学多样性的研讨会。该计划的资助将使 NEURON 能够继续对与他们密切合作的学员和教师产生重大影响。
