Neurobiology and Behavioral
Development




Graduate students are eligible to have their research experience enriched by a number of NIH-sponsored training programs. If you have a special interest in one of these NIH training programs, please apply to one of the seven Biomedical Sciences (BIMS) Graduate Groups and then visit our Research Foci Form to select the appropriate research foci.NIH funding for graduate education is awarded to the institution following a competitive peer review process specific to the research area.


The Neurobiology and Behavioral Development Predoctoral Training Program is designed for advanced graduate students working in topics related to neurobiology, behavior and/or development.  Our objective is to supplement the course work typically taken by students in our neuroscience doctoral programs with clinical experiences that help the students envision translational applications for their work and design projects that lead to clinical questions. Our goal through this training program is to provide young neuroscientists with the skills they need to think beyond basic research and development research programs that have translational applications to clinical care.

Prospective students should use "NESC", (Neuroscience) as their Area of Interest. (see http://www.healthsystem.virginia.edu/internet/bims/apply.cfm)
