Application Information
Only 30 participants can be accepted each year, and we usually impose a limit of one participant from a given laboratory. Successful applicants are typically graduate students, medical students, postdocs, medical residents/fellows, PhD-level research scientists, or faculty.
We typically expect that graduate student and postdoc participants have accumulated at least 6 months of intensive experience with ERPs or related techniques prior to applying. Our primary criterion in selecting participants for the boot camp is the likelihood that an individual will go on to conduct important research with the ERP technique (so you should make it clear that you will have access to an ERP recording system). We also try to achieve a balance of basic and clinical/translational research interests and broad diversity.
The application consists of a web form for demographic information, a CV, and a 1-2 page statement of background and interests. A letter of recommendation is also required for all students, postdocs, research assistant, etc. (anyone who is not an independent researcher). Faculty do not require a letter of recommendation, but a letter of recommendation is always helpful.
Currently, the application period of the 2010 session has passed. For those who have applied, admission decisions will be made on approximately April 1. Information for next year's bootcamp will be announced here in the future.
There is no separate application form for scholarships; all U.S. Citizens and Permanent Residents will automatically receive scholarships. We may be able to provide scholarships for some of our international participants, but this is not guaranteed.
