LINCR Fellows Information Session

*Time:*
5:00pm-6:00pm
*Where:*
Whitaker Room 1214
*Program Description:*
GT Neuro recently received a $40,000 seed grant through the GTFire program to
start a new research program that links together Neuro-related Research
Groups across campus.(http://gtneuro.net/?q=node/302) Undergraduates will
propose a summer project (full time 40 hours a week, $5200 stipend) to
integrate existing neuro research projects of two labs simultaneously. We
will provide a 1 week orientation session before the program after which
students will attend bi-weekly joint lab meetings with their two labs of
interest. The program will end with the LINCR conference in which all PIs and
labs will meet and present on their findings from the summer. LINCR fellows
will also be required to present at one GT Neuro Educational Seminar in the
coming Fall Semester.
LINCR is an nontraditional research program in which students will gain hands
on entrepreneurial experience through connecting with non-profits, start ups,
and other universities relevant to their research. The goal of the program is
to create new collaborations between existing labs at Georgia Tech and
industry to turn these collaborations into high-impact research and business
networks. These goals fall in line with GTNeuro's minor efforts in
Neurobiotechnology. (http://gtneuro.net/?q=node/145)
Applicants will be expected to submit their Resume/CV, complete their two
personal statements, and provide written proposals for their summer projects.
