The Enhancing Neuroscience Undergraduate Research Experiences (ENSURE) program will cover tuition, housing and stipends for at least 10 exceptional sophomores and juniors who will conduct intensive neuroscience research over two years. “For a major institution in a major metropolitan area, a program like this fortifies opportunities for the students in this community,” Burton said. “UT Dallas is a Top 40 school in the nation in supplying medical school applicants, and we have a diverse undergraduate student body. “Introduction to Neuroscience Research Skills is designed to train students in techniques commonly utilized in neuroscience research, in safe and ethical laboratory practices, and in scientific communication,” Taylor said. The W.W. Caruth, Jr. Fund at CFT is dedicated to frontier-advancing projects in public safety, education, and scientific and medical research.
