Journal Clubs and Seminars. Informal interactions
are bound to arise between faculty and students. One of the most important roles
of the research training program will be to help foster these interactions
between faculty and trainees interested in neuroethology. The majority of these
people are located in the same building, allowing for frequent correspondence.
In addition, many faculty labs have weekly lab meetings and journal clubs for its members.
Special neuroscience and behavior courses. These courses, such as those offered at
Woods Hole Marine Biological Laboratory, Cold Spring
Harbor and the Center for Sound Communication in Odense (Denmark),
provide extraordinary opportunities for advanced graduate students
and postdocs to obtain additional training and learn new techniques.
Funds are requested in the budget to cover travel and tuition expenses
for trainees. The Neuroethology Training
Grant Advisory Committee will review requests from trainees each
year. Selection will be based on a statement from the trainee, describing
the importance of a given course to his/hers research and training,
and three letters of recommendation.
