Training and Internships
Brain Camp
The Department of Neuroscience's co-ed youth summer camp for high school students entering 11th and 12th grade. Brain Camp will provide students a unique opportunity to learn about a wide range of neuroscience topics while experiencing life in a WVU residence hall.
Undergraduate Training
The Department of Neuroscience and our secondary faculty offer many opportunities for undergraduate training. Because we are an interdisciplinary body, there are multiple ways in which prospective students can apply to engage in graduate study with our investigators. Available programs for neuroscience graduate students are in one of the following departments or centers: Health Sciences Center (Biomedical Sciences); Biology; Psychology (Behavioral Neuroscience); or Chemical & Biomedical Engineering. Our undergraduate opportunities are open to all STEM majors with an interest in Neuroscience.
Graduate Training
There are several program options for neuroscience graduate students. Members of the RNI do not train graduate students through one particular program, but through several different programs, based on the department in which the faculty mentor resides.

Research/Clinical Collaborative Opportunities
Clinical collaboration with university research faculty bridges the gap between laboratory discoveries and patient care, enhancing the quality of treatment through access to innovative practices and technologies. It facilitates the sharing of valuable clinical data, improving research quality and fostering education for healthcare professionals. Additionally, these partnerships open up networking opportunities and support the development of clinical trials that address real-world patient needs, ultimately leading to better healthcare outcomes.
