<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">The <strong><span style="font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif">Irvine Summer Institute in Neuroscience</span></strong> is a 10-week program that engages undergraduate students in neuroscience research and prepares them
for PhD graduate programs and careers in science research. Undergraduate students seeking an immersive summer neuroscience research experience are encouraged to apply by January 10, 2026.<br>
<br>
During the program, students are carefully matched with laboratories where they spend the majority of their time conducting research under the mentorship of faculty and doctoral students. The program's diverse range of research topics and methods ensures that
all students, regardless of their undergraduate major or academic background, have the opportunity to thrive. In addition to mentored laboratory research, students participate in cohort-wide methods and professional development workshops. These workshops prepare
students to apply to graduate school and equip them with the skills necessary for success in science research. The program culminates in a day-long scientific symposium in which each student presents a poster of their research findings.<br>
<br>
Students receive a stipend of <strong><span style="font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif">$700/week </span></strong>for 10 weeks. Additionally,
<strong><span style="font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif">travel to and from UCI, meals, and housing are all covered.</span></strong> The program is funded by the National Science Foundation Research Experiences for Undergraduates (NSF-REU) mechanism and the University
of California Office of the President's UC-HBCU Initiative.<br>
<br>
<strong><span style="font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif">Students interested in learning more about the program are encouraged to join one of our upcoming information sessions on November 10 and December 1 <a href="https://uci.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a8a08ef283f933ad1cab878ad&id=30a961a117&e=cc1cfde045" target="_blank"><span style="color:#1C3FC9;font-weight:normal">(</span></a><a href="https://uci.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a8a08ef283f933ad1cab878ad&id=16b8a95560&e=cc1cfde045" target="_blank"><span style="color:black;font-weight:normal">click
