Banner-ASU Neuroscience Scholars is a paid, eight-week training program open to top-achieving college undergraduate and graduate science and social science students. Scholars work full-time on a research project under the mentorship of a Banner Research or ASU-Biodesign scientist or clinician to unlock medical and scientific mysteries in the areas of Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and other neurodegenerative diseases, in a lab or clinical setting in the Greater Phoenix metropolitan area.
Research opportunities are divided into five separate tracks: Basic and Translational Neuroscience; Computational Image Analysis; Healthy Aging Research; Brain and Body Donation; and Clinical Neurodegenerative Research. Each research track is correlated to a participating training facility.
As a part of the comprehensive program, Neuroscience Scholars also have an opportunity to: obtain hands-on training, attend educational seminars to boost their professional skills, learn about bioscience career options, practice scientific writing and create a scientific poster to showcase project outcomes and present their research at a concluding symposium.
Scholars are expected to commit 35-40 hours per week to the program. A stipend of $500/week for a total of $4,000 will be provided upon successful completion of the program. The overall aim is to give scholars cutting-edge experience in biomedical and clinical research.
