The travel grants will not be given if the abstract is not accepted.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The David S. Olton Award is given annually to support undergraduate research in the area of the biology of behavior, broadly defined. Undergraduate students from Johns Hopkins psychology, behavioral biology, and neuroscience are encouraged to apply. The award is $4,000. This award is a research award, designed specifically to help students complete a research project of their own that they might not otherwise be able to carry out due to financial limitations. The award can potentially cover a wide range of costs including stipend support (either during the academic year or the summer) or supplies essential to the project. Note the award is not<\/em> intended for permanent lab equipment for PIs (see below).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Deadline: 4 PM December 13, 2024<\/p>\n\n\n\n Questions?
