The award funds interdisciplinary graduate and undergraduate training programs in computational neuroscience at CMU and Pitt, aiming to develop skilled neuroscientists with quantitative and computational expertise. It includes graduate training, undergraduate programs, a summer school, and online educational resources.
Description
This project supports training programs in computational neuroscience at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) and the University of Pittsburgh (Pitt). It includes NRSA (T90) and non-NRSA (R90) graduate training, a two-year undergraduate program, an undergraduate summer school, and the creation of an online repository of teaching modules. The primary goal is to train a new generation of interdisciplinary neuroscientists with strong quantitative skills and promote the integration of computational and data analytic principles into neuroscience.
