Hello!

We are reaching out to you with the goal that you would please help spread the word about the NIH sponsored 2023 University of Washington’s Summer Research Experience in Translational Neuroscience and Neurological Surgery program throughout your network. We want to make sure as many students, from all states and all walks of life, as possible know about this opportunity! Would you be willing to share the message below and/or the attached flyer via email, on a blog, or on social media?

We are especially interested in applicants from those underrepresented in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematic (STEM) fields.

If you have any questions please let me know. Thank you in advance for your support in encouraging the next generation of STEM leaders, who will surely help make our world a better place.

Sincerely,

Julie Bould

Dear STEM student,

Applications for the NIH sponsored Summer Research Experience in Translational Neuroscience and Neurological Surgery<https://neurosurgery.uw.edu/education/summer-student-programs> program is anticipated to open November 1st, 2023!

If you have an interest in the neurosciences and desire lab experience in neurological biomedical research, please apply!

Applicants chosen to participate in the program will receive stipends of $3,200 over the duration of the 8-week program. (Note: high school or recent high school graduates must be 18 years of age or older by the first day of the program in order to participate due to facility age restrictions). Out of area students will have program sponsored housing (as long as they indicate on their application that they require program sponsored housing) but are responsible for their own meals, transportation to/from Seattle, and local transit.

Program participation includes:
•           Eight-week lab placement in one of our neuroscience research labs
•           Weekly Neurological Surgery Grand Rounds lectures
•           Weekly Neurological Surgery Resident Education Hour discussions
•           Weekly neuroscience faculty lectures, specifically developed for the students
•           Neurological surgery OR observations (up to 2)
•           Neurological surgery clinical shadowing observations (up to 2)
•           Student capstone presentation

To date, 185 rising freshmen and college undergraduate students aged 18 and older from 96 different schools from across the U.S. have participated in the program.

Over 35 students from our earlier classes have now been accepted into medical school and other clinical training programs. Many students just entering college have gone on to neuroscience, pre-med studies, medical school or PhD neuroscience programs..

The application period will close on Tuesday, January 2nd, 2024. Application is free.

Please email nsssp at uw.edu<mailto:nsssp at uw.edu> with any questions you may have about the application process.

We look forward to reviewing your application!

Sincerely,

NSSSP Directorship
