Written by GovTribe AI ·

This is a curriculum spreadsheet detailing a 7-week summer research preparatory program schedule for the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS). The program operates Monday through Friday from 8am-5pm, with structured academic activities between 9am-4pm daily and transportation periods bookending each day.

The curriculum covers diverse scientific topics including chemistry, biology, neuroscience, genomics, and opioid abuse, with activities split between morning lectures and afternoon laboratory work. Weeks are thematically organized, featuring hands-on lab experience, community outreach, and career development planning. The program requires MD or PhD level instructors (2-4 depending on the week), with support from lab technicians and graduate teaching assistants. Locations alternate between a college/university and medical university setting, with Week 4 conducted at community outreach centers. The program concludes with a graduation ceremony, participant surveys, and final presentations including 3-minute talks and posters.
