IAC-USNC MBL and CSHL program announcement (to 2000 Alumni)
Dear Colleagues,
Please assist to disseminate the information on the "Marine Biological Laboratory and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory" courses organized by the U.S.-Canada IBRO regional committee. Some preference will be given to applicants who have attended previous IBRO Schools. The IBRO-APRC is also repared to provide some subsidy to candidates who are selected by the MBL.
Sincerely yours,
Y.S. Chan

Dear colleague,
This message is going to members of the IBRO Board of Schools, directors of record for current IBRO Schools, many others who have been significantly involved with IBRO educational programs (Schools, VLTP, courses, etc.) and/or the neuroscience course at the MBL and CSHL, and others likely to be interested in these opportunities for advanced research training. My purpose is to urge you to call these opportunities to the attention of outstanding, potentially qualified prospective applicants from around the world and to be prepared to serve as a recommender for such a prospect.
The following information -- and the attached flyer -- are meant to help you spread the news and recruit top-quality prospects. Please forward the information to anyone you think might be interested.
Thanks and cheers, John Hildebrand

IAC-USNC/IBRO Organizes Opportunities at the Marine Biological Laboratory and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory
The IAC-USNC/IBRO, also known as the U.S.-Canada IBRO regional committee,announces the 2005 program to support scientists from developing countries in attending high level neuroscience courses at the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) and, new for this year, at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL).
The IBRO Board of Schools and the IAC-USNC/IBRO seek to encourage highly qualified and motivated research trainees from resource-limited countries to apply for admission to summer neuroscience courses at the MBL in Woods Hole, Massachusetts and the CSHL in Cold Spring Harbor, New York. Substantial (usually complete) financial support is available to enable the participation of students from resource-estricted countries in these programs. This is an effort to enable the most meritorious alumni of IBRO Neuroscience Schools and other outstanding young scientists to gain
"capstone" experiences in leading training programs. These experiences are intended to benefit scientists who will continue to study and work in less financially advantaged regions such as those in Latin America, Africa, Central and Eastern Europe, and Asia/Pacific.
Applications should be submitted through the normal MBL and CSHL application mechanisms. The MBL or CSHL will inform students if they have been selected. No applications should be sent to IBRO or the IAC-USNC directly. While not required, the IAC-USNC/IBRO does request that persons preparing their applications let the committee know they are applying (preferably in advance of the application deadline). Scientists who applied before but were not accepted might consider applying again as the application pool varies each year.
More information about MBL courses included in this program (Neural Systems and Behavior, Neurobiology, Methods in Computational Neuroscience, Neural Development and Genetics of Zebrafish, Fundamental Issues in Vision Research, Neuroinformatics, and "SPINES" is available at the MBL's Website
and "Special Topics Courses." More information about the CSHL courses
included in this program (Ion
Channel Physiology,
Neurobiology of
Drosophila,
Imaging Structure & Function
in the Nervous System) will soon be available at
http://meetings.cshl.edu/Schedules.htm.
More information about this effort and suggestions for preparing an
application are available at
http://www.iac-usnc.org/MBLcoursefellowships.html.
Information about the experiences of 2004 participants is available on the
IBRO websitewww.ibro.org. Please do not hesitate to
consider this opportunity, as the application deadline for some courses is
February 1, 2005.
The IAC-USNC/IBRO is a joint committee of the Society for Neuroscience and
the U.S. National Academies (the "Society for Neuroscience International
Affairs Committee and National Academies U.S. National Committee for IBRO).
The goal of the committee is to increase understanding of the nervous
system in health and disease worldwide. Support of participants is made
possible by IBRO funds allocated to the committee. The committee is able to
oversee such efforts due to support of the IAC-USNC/IBRO by U.S. National
Institutes of Health (NIH), specifically the National Institute of Mental
Health, the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, and
the National Institute on Drug Abuse.
