The Medical Neuroscience Graduate Program and Stark Neurosciences Research Institute at Indiana University School of Medicine offers annual fellowships and awards for graduate students and trainees — the next generation of neuroscientists.
The Paul and Carole Stark Medical Neuroscience Graduate Fellowship is for PhD students in the Indiana BioMedical Gateway (IBMG) program and MD/PhD students in the Medical Scientist Training Program at IU School of Medicine transitioning to the Medical Neuroscience program. The fellowship provides funding — a stipend, health insurance, and tuition for one academic year.
Stark Neurosciences Research Institute is also home to the Training Grant on Alzheimer's Disease and Alzheimer's Disease-Related Dementias, co-led by Bruce Lamb, PhD; Gary Landreth, PhD and Andrew Saykin, PsyD. This National Institute on Aging-funded T32 grant program selects four postdoctoral researchers and four predoctoral students, appointments for typically two years based on performance. The appointment provides a stipend/pay with health insurance, tuition, travel and lab supplies. The program has enlisted 25 faculty at IU School of Medicine who have a broad range of expertise including data science, non-invasive imaging, the development and study of animal models, genomics, epidemiology, drug development and clinical research.
