The William T. Grant Scholars program supports promising early-career researchers from diverse disciplines, who have demonstrated success in conducting high-quality research and are seeking to further develop and broaden their expertise.

Congratulations to Yanping Huang and Alik Widge who were awarded CSNE Travel Awards.

NSF has three new grant opportunities of possible interest to CSNE faculty and students:

1.  NSF Fellowships for Transformative Computational Science using CyberInfrastructure     

2.  Mathematical Biology

The National Institutes of Health issued a press release to announce the funding of eight projects across the United States to develop innovative neuroscience education programs for K-12 students and their teachers.  These grants are funded by the NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience Research Science Education Award and the Science Education Partnership Award.  

University of Washington undergraduate students working in CSNE laboratories are encouraged to apply for Mary Gates Research Scholarships.   These prestigious scholarships award students $4,000 in installments of $2,000 each over two quarters.  The fall deadline for applications is October 21 at 5:00 p.m.   The Mary Gate Research Scholarship web site has additional information to help students and mentors develop a successful application.

The Center for Sensorimotor Neural Engineering (UW site) received many excellent applications in response to the first Call for Proposals.  Based on the recommendations of the review committee, the CSNE will support the following projects:

Symposiums/Workshops/Education Projects

Neural Engineering Lesson Plans for Community and Teacher Workshops (Dickinson)

The 2011 and 2012 Computational Neuroscience Connections (Rudd, Fairhall, Shea-Brown)

Seed Projects

Novel auditory BCI design (Larson)
