Areas of Support:
Our Research Core Facilities
The Neuroscience Institute invests in cutting-edge research technology through matched funding for multi-user equipment. We also help sustain these resources by supporting maintenance and repair costs, enabling uninterrupted, high-quality research.
The Neuroscience Institute is committed to developing future leaders in neuroscience. We support graduate student recruitment, offer competitive matching funds for postdoctoral fellows, and invest in undergraduate talent at Rhodes College and Christian Brothers University through neuroscience merit scholarships.
Our Faculty
The Neuroscience Institute promotes collaboration between our faculty and advances innovation through pilot project research awards, empowering faculty to pursue new ideas and expand the impact of their work.
The Neuroscience Institute cultivates a vibrant intellectual community through its
seminar series, connecting faculty, staff, and students with outstanding neuroscientists
from around the world. These events bring new perspectives and cutting-edge research
to the University of Tennessee Health Science Center.
