Applicant Information

Text

Applicants must be matriculated graduate students at The Ohio State University working with faculty who are members* of the Center for Cognitive and Brain Sciences (CCBS). Applicants are asked to propose a research project in collaboration with primary and secondary advisors who carry affiliations in two different academic departments. The secondary advisor will be referred to as the “visiting department advisor". Proposed projects will be interdisciplinary and relevant to the Center for Cognitive and Brain Sciences.   

Former award recipients are eligible, but priority will be given to new applicants. CCBS awards cannot be deferred to any other session or year. IMPORTANT: Any student who already has a Summer 2023 graduate appointment (GRA, GTA, or GAA) or fellowship is not eligible to apply.

Only one advisor will be required to have status (i.e., M or P). However, both should hold a PhD or equivalent terminal degree.

*Advisors who are not members should complete the CCBS Membership Form before submission of this application.
