Paul D. Coverdell Neuroimaging Program Fellowship From the John and Mary Franklin Foundation

Three graduate student students are supported as Research Fellows through this program. Two years of graduate school support will come primarily from Franklin Foundation funds, with secondary support being committed through the student's faculty advisor (may include funds from the Psychology (or other home) Department, or from grant support). Students will learn how to do functional brain imaging research (through coursework and practical laboratory experience) using dense array EEG, MEG, and MRI/fMRI.

Each Fellow will be provided with funds for conducting research projects and for travel. As part of Fellowship training, students will organize a yearly symposia in which a nationally-recognized expert in functional brain imaging will present a lecutre and consult with UGA faculty and students on brain imaging research at UGA. For additional information, contact Brett Clementz, Jennifer McDowell, or Steve Miller.
