Neuroscience International Program
A Minority and Health Disparities International Research Training
Program Sponsored by the National Institutes of Health's Fogarty International Center and National Center on Minority Health and Health Disparities
Program Description The Neuroscience International Program offers international research opportunities to qualified minority undergraduates. The objective is to increase the awareness of international research issues and prospects, and acquaint students with a variety of careers in research, especially related to U.S. minority health problems. The program provides round-trip airfare to the destination country, full tuition payment for two months (June, July) of research training in a foreign laboratory, room and board at the foreign institution, a monthly stipend for living expenses, and student health insurance for the duration of the program. The students are expected to maintain a full-time work schedule (avg. 40 hours/week). This time may include library work, lectures, etc. There is no provision for over-time compensation. Students will be required to submit a report of their research at the end of the training period. We currently have programs in France (Lille), Denmark (Aarhus), Spain (Madrid). Eligibility and Qualifications Eligible students must be U.S. citizens, or permanent residents, from groups underrepresented in biomedical or behavioral research (i.e., African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Native Americans, Asian/Pacific Islanders). Undergraduate participants should have completed approximately two years of coursework in a major related to biomedical or behavioral science, have a minimum GPA of 3.0 and/or show other evidence of exceptional scientific interest and talent. Previous undergraduate research experience is highly recommended before entering the MHIRT program. Students will be required to show documented proof of their eligibility (i.e. proof of citizenship/residency, transcripts). Priority is given to students of SUNY College at Old Westbury and this program's affiliates (i.e., SUNY Maritime, SUNY Farmingdale, SUNY Stony Brook). Students must have a valid passport. Attendance will be required at several meetings/seminars held at the campus of SUNY College at Old Westbury for the purpose of educating students in bioethics and responsible research. Application Complete applications must be submitted by February 15th of the year of the trip, to be eligible. You may print out the application through the link below, or you may request an application by phone, mail, or fax (see our contact page). Please be sure that all of the following are included when you return your application package:
Evaluations and the final decisions will be made based upon the student's academic record, including GPA and relevant coursework, the compatibleness of the student's goals with the potential research projects, prior research experience or strong evidence of interest in research, likelihood that the student will pursue a biomedical/behavioral research career, and other criteria such as languages spoken, faculty recommendations, special skills, etc.
(MIDARP) Minority Institutions' Drug Abuse Research Development Program Sponsored by the National Institute on Drug Abuse Program Description Under the Minority Institutions' Drug Abuse Research Program, research grants are provided to develop the capacity of minority institutions and their faculty, staff, and students. The grants enable minority institutions to conduct rigorous drug abuse research in all areas of research supported by the NIDA including neuroscience, behavioral, clinical, social science, public health, biological, HIV/AIDS, and health service areas. This program is designed to broaden the scientific knowledge base in drug abuse in those areas where minority institutions may have particular interest, knowledge, and commitment. Students receive an hourly wage while participating in advanced research in a state of the art facility. Eligibility and Qualifications Limited positions are available for students as Research Aides. Eligible students must be U.S. citizens, or permanent residents, from groups underrepresented in biomedical or behavioral research (African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Native Americans, Asian/Pacific Islanders,). Undergraduate participants should have completed basic coursework in a major related to biomedical or behavioral science, have a minimum GPA of 3.0 and/or show other evidence of exceptional scientific interest and talent. Students will be required to show documented proof of their eligibility (i.e. proof of citizenship/residency, transcripts). Applicants must be students of SUNY College at Old Westbury.

(MRISP) Minority Research Infrastructure Support Program Sponsored by the National Institute of Mental Health Program Description The Minority-Research Infrastructure Support Program (M-RISP) provides capacity development for minority institutions and their faculty to conduct rigorous mental health-relevant research. The intent of the research infrastructure program is to strengthen the research environments of minority institutions through grant support to develop and/or expand existing capacities for conducting behavioral and neuroscience research in all fields related to mental health. The M-RISP program provides support for two types of core activities: institutional research development support to strengthen the institutional infrastructure and enhance the capability of individual faculty members to undertake mental health-related research; and individual investigator research support for developing research scientists to conduct small grant research activities that can lead to successful applications for funding under regular research grant mechanisms. Students receive training as research assistants on individual research projects, as well as an hourly wage while participating in advanced research in a state of the art facility. Eligibility and Qualifications Eligible students must be U.S. citizens, or permanent residents, from groups underrepresented in biomedical or behavioral research (African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Native Americans, Asian/Pacific Islanders,). Undergraduate participants should have completed basic coursework in a major related to biomedical or behavioral science, have a minimum GPA of 3.0 and/or show other evidence of exceptional scientific interest and talent. Students will be required to show documented proof of their eligibility (i.e. proof of citizenship/residency, transcripts). Applicants must be students of SUNY College at Old Westbury.

Career Opportunities in Research (COR) Honors Undergraduate Research Training Program Sponsored by the National Institute of Mental Health Program Description COR Honors Undergraduate Research Training Award, offered by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), is intended to assist institutions with substantial enrollment of racial/ethnic minority students, in training greater numbers of scientists as teachers and researchers in areas of research related to mental health. This program provides aid to minority institutions to develop strong curricula and research training capabilities in the biobehavioral sciences. Graduates of this program should be able to compete successfully for entry into graduate programs leading to the PhD degree. Student trainees receive a yearly stipend and training as research assistants on individual research projects while participating in advanced research in a state of the art facility. Eligibility and Qualifications Eligible students must be from groups underrepresented in biomedical or behavioral research (African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Native Americans, Asian/Pacific Islanders,). Trainee candidates must be outstanding students who are in their third or fourth year in a science degree program at SUNY College at Old Westbury and have a 3.0 grade point average (on a scale of 4 points). Students must also be citizens or have been admitted lawfully to the US for permanent residence, and must have in their possession an Alien Registration Receipt Card (I-155 or some other legal evidence of admission for permanent residence) at the time of appointment to the training program. Application Applications may be downloaded here or you may request an application by phone, mail, or fax (see our contact page). Please be sure to follow all instructions carefully. You will
