OUTREACH
Many of Neuroscience's outreach programs are run by the Center for Behavioral Neuroscience and its staff.
The Neuroscience Institute is a member of the Atlanta chapter of the Society for Neuroscience.
Our Formal Programs
The Neuroscience School
The Neuroscience School offers summer short course opportunities for high school students. This academic day camp is open to high school students who enjoy exploring science.
Atlanta Regional Brain Bee
The Bee is a national-level brain trivia competition for high-school students, held annually in January or February. The Center for Behavioral Neuroscience co-sponsors the Atlanta Regional Brain Bee with the Atlanta Chapter of the Society for Neuroscience.
Brains & Behavior Summer Scholars Program
The program provides summer scholarships to selected Georgia State undergraduates to support their research efforts in faculty laboratories. In addition to research, our summer cohort engages in professional development training workshops. The program’s leadership team is powered by 75 combined years of education and training experience, with a focus on recruitment and retention of students from underrepresented groups.
Initiative for Maximizing Student Development
This undergraduate research education and training program is grounded in biology, chemistry, neuroscience and psychology. This program encourages students from underrepresented groups to pursue careers in biomedical research.
