More in research
The Carney Institute for Brain Science provides funds to support summer undergraduate research experiences, graduate student training and postdoctoral training. Additionally, the Carney Institute supports interdisciplinary research through the New Frontiers awards, and highly creative research projects through the Innovation fund.
As Carney Institute for Brain Science researchers strive to understand how brain circuits produce complex behavior, they also develop new tools that can help other scientists answer questions about the brain. Find out more about some of these tools.
