The third annual John Nambu Memorial Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Program welcomed a record 9 participants into this year’s program on May 16. Established in the memory of the late Dr. John Nambu, professor of Biology, the program provides undergraduates an opportunity to perform cutting-edge research in neuroscience and behavior-oriented labs on the Jupiter and Boca campuses. This year’s participants were selected through a competitive application process and were provided with a stipend for the duration of the 10-week program. Students also have the option to continue their research into the next academic year. Read More.
The International Behavioral and Neural Genetics Society has awarded Alex Keene, Ph.D. of FAU the 2016 IBANGS Young Scientist Award. Recipients of the award must research topics related to the behavioral and neural genetics while making a projected impact in their field. Keene will be delivering the Young Scientist Lecture at the annual IBANGS meeting, to be held this year in Bar Harbor, Maine, USA.
A research proposal development system that matches critics and forums to ideas and proposals.
WHO are we? You and your community-minded peers. WHAT do we do? We volunteer our time and expertise to get ideas funded. WHY? We want to be part of a dynamic community of interactive colleagues with robust research programs. HOW? We provide a framework for the systematic critique and revision of new ideas and proposals at all stages. WHERE? The Jupiter campus of FAU, 2nd floor conference room of the RE building. WHEN? Every 4 weeks for proposals. More often for new ideas. SPECIFICS?
