Our Summer Program in Neuroscience (SPIN) is a National Science Foundation sponsored Research Experience for Undergraduates with two equally important goals. First is to provide motivated undergraduates who have demonstrated scientific excellence, a immersion summer research experience to participate in discovery neuroscience. Second, SPIN is designed to increase student competitiveness for entry into Ph.D. focused graduate education by involving students in an intensive professional development program.
SPIN students will engage in intensive research laboratory experiences designed to immerse them into an active lab team for 10 weeks.
Under the supervision of a faculty member and lab staff, students will have the opportunity to learn the basic skills necessary to contribute to a research program. Students will participate in all aspects of both the intellectual and practical aspects of daily laboratory work. Students will be trained in research methods, perform protocols and data analysis, attend lab meetings, create written and oral presentations of their results at a research forum presented to the entire UAB research community.
