Grants and Contracts Details
Description
This is a supplement application for Summer Research Experiences for Students and Science Educators
submitted in response to the recent announcement NINDS FY2009 Program for Administrative Supplements
Using Recovery Act Funds and NIH Notice NOT-OD-09-060. This supplement will support our current
Program Project Grant entitled "Calpain as a Therapeutic Target for TB!' (5P01 N8058484-03). Funds are
requested to hire five undergraduate students, two to work on Project 1, one for Project 2 and two for Project
3 for the summers of 2009 and 2010. The proposed research activity will accelerate research in each of the
projects, provide summer employment to talented undergraduate students, and is within the IRG-approved
scope of the parent projects. For the first year of funding, the 5 students who want to work in our laboratories
have already been identified. The Project Director for each project will serve as the primary mentor for each
student working on that project. Each of the summer students working on the related projects under the PPG
will be able to interact extensively with one another since the laboratories of the three Project Directors are
adjacent to one another. Each student will participate in their mentor's weekly laboratory meetings during
which they will have an opportunity to present their data and get feedback from the mentor, graduate
students, postdocs, and other research colleagues. All five students will attend a biweekly joint laboratory
meeting during which they will present their work to each other and get input from the other students and
Project Directors. The students will also be expected to attend relevant neuroscience seminars and journal
clubs scheduled during the summer months. They will also have an opportunity to attend the 2 day 15th
Annual Kentucky Spinal Cord & Head Injury Research Symposium which will be held in Louisville, KY on
June 11-12, 2009. We anticipate that each of these activities will provide a rich scientific experience that will
hopefully inspire their continuation in either basic or clinical neuroscience research careers.
