The Society for Behavioral Neuroscience and Comparative Psychology (SBNCP) Pipeline Scholars Program is designed to recognize outstanding students in behavioral neuroscience and comparative psychology and to provide information and mentoring that will help these developing scholars to succeed in gaining admission to doctoral study, to thrive in graduate study and to build productive careers as SBNCP members.
Do you know an undergraduate student who intends to pursue graduate training in behavioral neuroscience, comparative psychology or related areas? Is this student actively involved in research, as evidenced, for instance, by presentation of a poster at a local or national conference or completing an honors thesis? Nominate outstanding undergraduate students in psychology, neuroscience or related disciplines with research interests in SBNCP topics for recognition as SBNCP Pipeline Scholars. If nominated and approved, these students will receive a certificate from the Society and will be added to the distribution list for announcements, newsletters, opportunities and other information. SBNCP Pipeline Scholars can include the recognition from the Society on their CVs and graduate-school applications and will be encouraged to join the Society as graduate-student affiliates when they become eligible.
Any Member or Fellow of the Society for Behavioral Neuroscience and Comparative Psychology is eligible to nominate one or more undergraduate students for this honor by emailing a brief statement of recommendation for each. Each nomination should include the student’s CV (including name, affiliation, address, email), and a brief summary of the student’s qualifications (e.g., research activities, GPA, graduate-study plans). Nominations will be reviewed, and students will be contacted by email. Nominations of students from underrepresented minority groups are particularly encouraged.
Congratulations to the following individuals, who were nominated and approved as SBNCP Pipeline Scholars:
- Courtney Creamer, Georgia State University
- Brooke Meidam, University of Wisconsin, Madison
- Rebecca Moss, Georgia State University
