FELLOWSHIPS
Brains & Behavior Fellowship
The Neuroscience Institute runs the Brains and Behavior (B&B) Fellowship program for graduate students across many disciplines whose research contributes to the field of neuroscience. This program promotes collaboration between departments and supplements graduate-level education here at Georgia State University.

WHAT & WHY?
A few years ago, the Brains & Behavior Program reallocated fellowships based on faculty research concentrations. We are very excited to report, through this transition, we have processed two reallocations and are celebrating new fellows in Kinesiology, Music, Nutrition, Occupational Therapy, Communication, and Physical Therapy.
The 2019 and 2022 reallocation process was made possible by a survey examining current faculty interests and participation in B&B activities. Going forward, Brains & Behavior will keep an ongoing list of active faculty, to be updated via annual survey. The Brains & Behavior Annual Membership Report (BBAMR) will collect information on grants, publications, B&B activities, and fellowship supervisions. We envision that this active list will: inform future reallocations, help departments know which of their members are eligible to supervise Fellows, and show the administration returns on its investments.
HOW?
Each September (NOW!), faculty and chairs will be sent The Brains & Behavior Annual Membership Report (BBAMR). The survey will accumulate answers and faculty will only need to add new information each year. Faculty will have ~1 month to respond to the survey. Anyone who responds and meets certain minimum conditions will be counted as active. The list of active faculty will be disseminated after the results are collected. If you are a returning user, and do not log in and update your data each September, you will be considered non-active.
Every 3-years, reallocations will take place.
We are excited to announce after this collection of membership data, we will be reallocating fellowships again in 2025.
