The Simons Foundation is now accepting applications from undergraduate students to participate in its Shenoy Undergraduate Research Fellowship in Neuroscience (SURFiN) program for the 2024–2025 academic year. The program’s goal is to spark and sustain interest in neuroscience among undergraduate students whose backgrounds and experiences are underrepresented in science. The paid fellowships will run from September 2024 through May 2025.
SFARI gathered together some 250 current and prospective autism researchers for a social on November 17 at the Society for Neuroscience’s 2014 annual meeting in Washington, D.C.
This issue of the SFARI newsletter includes: (1) SPARK update, (2) SFARI Social at Neuroscience 2016, (3) Presentations by SFARI Investigators at Neuroscience 2016, (4) 2017 Pilot and Research Awards - Request for applications, (5) Highlights of SFARI-funded research, (6) Upcoming lecture: Beth Stevens, “How immune cells help wire the brain: Implications for autism and psychiatric illness”.
John Spiro joined the foundation in 2007. He works with the SFARI executive vice president to oversee all aspects of the foundation’s autism research initiatives, including managing a team of scientists and administrative staff involved in launching requests for applications, evaluating proposals and other projects, organizing scientific workshops and meetings and overseeing SFARI.org. He helped launch the Simons Variation in Individuals Project (now Simons Searchlight) and has spearheaded the foundation’s efforts to promote the use of preprints in the life sciences as well as other initiatives aimed at more open data sharing.
Lectures and symposium presentations that will be given by SFARI Investigators at Neuroscience 2015 in Chicago (17-21 October 2015) are highlighted.
Presentations that will be given by SFARI Investigators at Neuroscience 2016 in San Diego (November 12-16) are highlighted.
The goal of the Simons Foundation’s Shenoy Undergraduate Research Fellowship in Neuroscience (SURFiN) program is to spark and sustain interest in neuroscience among undergraduate students from diverse and/or historically underrepresented backgrounds in science. SURFiN provides funds for paid research assistantships for undergraduate students living near participating laboratories in the U.S., Canada, and Europe that are supported by the Simons Foundation’s Autism and Neuroscience division.
A number of presentations will be given by SFARI Investigators at Neuroscience 2023, the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience.
