Departmental and University Resources for Funding

Psychology Department TravelÌýapplicationÌý— Funding Up to $200 per semester to attend a conference or workshop.

– Graduate student members of ICS can apply for up to $500 per year for research and up to $700 per year for travel.

Sheryl Young Memorial ScholarshipÌýÌý– $4000 awarded to benefitÌýgraduate students in computer science, psychology, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, MCD Biology, chemistry or biochemistry, astrophysics, physics, geology, geography, anthropology, or math enrolled at the University of babyÖ±²¥app Boulder. To provide full tuition for one year, renewable if the student provides evidence of progress toward a PhD degree, including good grades. Based on financial eligibility (60%) and academic accomplishment (40%).ÌýThe Director of Graduate Studies will send an email about this in the spring.

Ìý– Graduate School webpage with information about travel grants to conferences and the Beverly Sears grant to help cover research costs, among other sources of funding.

Ìý– Variable amount ($200–400) awarded each semester for travel to your first conference as a University of babyÖ±²¥app graduate student.

External Funding

Ìý– The National Science Foundation aims to ensure the vitality of the human resource base of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in the United States and to reinforce its diversity by offering approximately 1,100 graduate fellowships in this competition. The Graduate Research Fellowship provides three years of support for graduate study leading to research-based master’s or doctoral degrees and is intended for students who are in the early stages of their graduate study. The Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) invests in graduate education for a cadre of diverse individuals who demonstrate their potential to successfully complete graduate degree programs in disciplines relevant to the mission of the National Science Foundation.

Ìý– The National Science Foundation's Division of Social and Economic Sciences and Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences award grants to doctoral students to improve the quality of dissertation research. These grants provide funds for items not normally available through the student's university. Additionally, these grants allow doctoral students to undertake significant data-gathering projects and to conduct field research in settings away from their campus that would not otherwise be possible. Proposals are judged on the basis of their scientific merit, including the theoretical importance of the research question and the appropriateness of the proposed data and methodology to be used in addressing the question.

Ìý– The East Asia and Pacific Summer Institutes provide U.S. graduate students in science and engineering: 1) first-hand research experience in Australia, China, Japan, Korea, New Zealand, Singapore or Taiwan; 2) an introduction to the science and science policy infrastructure of the respective location; and 3) orientation to the society, culture and language. The primary goals of EAPSI are to introduce students to East Asia and Pacific science and engineering in the context of a research setting, and to help students initiate scientific relationships that will better enable future collaboration with foreign counterparts. The institutes last approximately eight weeks from June to August.

Ìý– NIH has funding for graduate students in the form of individual fellowships (F31) and institutional training grants.

General

Ìý– Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory has courses in many areas related to cognitive neuroscience. Thanks to federal funds, foundation and corporate support, we provided partial stipends to almost 900 graduate students and postdocs who attended meetings or courses at Cold Spring Harbor. Please enquire about funding for individual meetings by email toÌýmeetings@cshl.edu.

EEG/ERP Training

Ìý– The ERP Boot Camp is an intensive introduction to the ERP technique, organized and led by Steve Luck with additional lectures by many other ERP experts. The boot camp is intended for beginning and intermediate ERP researchers—at any career stage—who would like to obtain a firm grasp of the fundamentals of ERP research. Topics include:

• Where do ERP come from? What do they mean?
• ERP components
• Setting up and running an ERP lab
• The design and interpretation of ERP experiments
• EEG data acquisition
• Filtering, artifact rejection, and artifact correction
• Measuring and analyzing ERP components
• ERP localization.

We will also focus on the use of ERP in several research areas, including:

• Attention, memory, language, and executive control
• Aging, dementia, and brain damage
• Schizophrenia and other psychiatric disorders
• Cognitive development.

The boot camp consists of lectures on these topics, accompanied by discussions of classic and contemporary ERP papers and guided lab activities (e.g., EEG recording, filtering waveforms, measuring ERP components).
