The Psychology Department at the University of South Carolina is pleased to announce that NSF has recommended funding for our Summer Research Education for Undergraduates program, Summer Research Experience in Brain and Cognitive Sciences (SREBCS). Each summer this program will provide ten undergraduate students the opportunity to engage in research seminars, laboratory exercises, and one-on-one laboratory projects in the exciting and fast growing field of brain and cognitive sciences. The SREBCS builds on the resounding success that our previous summer program experienced across its 17 years of funding. An innovative feature of the SREBCS is the inclusion of a weekly group laboratory that will provide students with a diverse set of hands-on experiences of the methods used in brain and cognitive sciences, such as EEG, MRI and fMRI. In addition, students will discuss implications of research presented by the faculty and engage in research projects within a faculty mentor’s laboratory.
The application deadline for this year’s program is March 28, 2012. The program description and application materials are posted on our website:

We very much appreciate your encouraging interested and qualified students to apply. The SREBCS is committed to providing opportunities to under-represented groups within the Brain and Cognitive Sciences.
