Program Overview! The Brains & Behavior Area of Focus is an interdepartmental program that promotes research collaborations and dialog through graduate courses, lectures, grants, workshops and much more. Researchers and students involved in this program span across the departments of Biology, Chemistry, Neuroscience, Computer Science, Mathematics and Statistics, Philosophy, Physics and Astronomy, and Psychology. At a glance, the five central components of this program are the Brains & Behavior Fellowship, the Distinguished Lecture Series, the Seminar Course, the Scholar’s Program, and the Seed Grants. However, B&B deserves much more than a glance and below you will find a more detailed outline of the many facets of Brains & Behavior. ! History of Brains & Behavior Area of Focus! In late 2003 or early 2004, Provost Henry announced the competition for the University "Areas of Focus". Dr. Don Edwards, Biology faculty at the time, was asked by Dean Adamson to lead an effort in neuroscience. With much help from colleagues across the university, Dr. Edwards drafted a proposal that called for the formation of a "Brains & Behavior Program", in which approximately 70 faculty [from ten departments (Bio, Chem, Psych, Phys & Ast, Math & Stats, Comp. Sci, Comp. Inf. Sys., Ed. Psy., Philos., Law) in three Colleges] with an interest in neuroscience had agreed to participate. The budget supported (i) formation of four Research Groups with themes across the neurosciences; (ii) 1 year, $30K "Seed Grants" offered annually on a competitive basis; (iii) B&B Graduate Fellowships; (iv) B&B Undergraduate Scholarships for summer support for Presidential Scholars; (v) an annual B&B Retreat; and (vi) new faculty hires in several departments. The B&B Program began operation along these lines in 2004 with Dr. Edwards as Director. In 2007, B&B and other interested faculty discussed the creation of a new academic unit. This discussion led to the formation of the Neuroscience Institute (NI) in 2008. Currently, both B&B and the NI are thriving and growing programs. ! The Fellowship Program (Pages 6-24)! The Fellowship is the major student component of the Brains & Behavior program. There are 45 graduate students in this prestigious program and they hail from the 8 different disciplines making up the Brains & Behavior area of focus. They are required to attend all the distinguished lectures. In addition, these students take the B&B Seminar Course for an entire year and attend professional development workshops . Many students engage in extracurricular and community activities together.!

! ! 2


!

The Brains & Behavior Retreat (Page 25-30)! This popular annual day long event brings over 100 members of the B&B community together to share research, give talks, and present posters. In addition, it includes a well-known keynote speaker.! Distinguished Lecture Series (DLS) (Pages 31-32)! Scholars from across the world come to speak in the yearly B&B Distinguished Lecture Series (otherwise known as DLS). The series is held once a month from September through May in Georgia State University’s new Petit Science Center. The speakers usually meet with faculty and students during their stay.!

!

Seminar Course (Pages 32)! The Brains & Behavior Fellows Seminar course is a required student-led discussionbased course. Students work in groups to present the papers submitted by the B&B speakers. There are nine invited speakers for the 2014 fiscal year so each student was responsible for presenting 1 or 2 speakers. In addition to the course, attendance at the B&B lecture is mandatory. There is also a lunch for students at noon on Tuesdays to meet the DLS speakers in an intimate setting and discuss the work further.!

!

Scholars Program (Pages 33-34)!

The B&B Scholars Program provides fellowships to selected undergraduates to support their research efforts in faculty laboratories. Prospective B&B Scholars are required to have a 3.0 GPA or better, be GSU undergraduates in good standing, and be nominated by their advisors. Scholars then present their research at poster symposium at the end of the summer and one poster winner is determined.!

!

Seed Grants (Pages 35)!

Not only is collaboration seen at the student level within the B&B Fellowship, but the annual B&B Seed Grant program fosters collaboration at the faculty level as well. Each year, faculty across 8 disciplines work together to initiate interdisciplinary research with the support of a seed grant. Many times, these small projects go on to garner federal funding and develop into large collaborative research.!

!

Community Engagement (36)! B&B Fellows, Scholars, and Faculty come together not only to discuss and share their research, they also come together to support their community.! 3


!

Staying Connected (37-38)! While B&B reaches across departments to pull student, faculty and staff together through lectures, poster sessions and retreats, it also employs several methods of ‘staying connected’ through newsletters, alumni programs and social media. ! Core Facility Support! B&B supports the Confocal Microscope facility as well as the Petit Science Center Core facility run by Mary Karom through salary supplementation and equipment maintenance/ upgrades. ! Current directions & programatic support for the University Strategic Plan (throughout)! Currently, the Brains & Behavior program supports the University Strategic Plan in a multitude of ways. See each individual section to learn more about which B&B initiatives support each unique aspect of Goals 1-3 of University Strategic Plan.!

! Goal 1: Become a national model for undergraduate education.! !

Goal 2: Significantly strengthen and grow the base of distinctive graduate and professional programs that assure development of the next generation of researchers and societal leaders.!

!

Goal 3: Become a leading public research university addressing the most challenging issues of the 21st century.!

Future Directions (25)!

! The Brains & Behavior program challenges itself to continually support the University’s Strategic Plan by employing effective and innovative approaches to interdisciplinary academia at the level of higher education. Through a plethora of well established programatic approaches, B&B attracts, retains, and develops academic leadership across the university and within 8 different departments. ! ! In particular, B&B has been designed to help its members and students collaborate and share information and research across disciplines. This is encouraged throughout all aspects of the program. However, in the future, B&B plans to utilize its comprehensive electronic database to further examine which aspects of the program are meeting B&B’s core goals. Using this evidence based system, B&B will be in a position to differentiate between and invest in the programs that indeed make significant progress versus those that may be spinning their wheels. B&B aims to reward programs with successful outcomes and those that successfully further the mission of both the B&B program as well as the University Strategic Plan.! ! In addition, B&B proposes to coordinate and implement more GSU-based workshops for both faculty and students. These workshops will supplement graduate level education and faculty professional development. Because we plan to utilize resources within the GSU community, this addition is cost effective.! ! !

OFF CAMPUS RETREAT!

! ! ! ! !

This weekend long student retreat takes place off-campus and is primarily geared towards team building, sharing research, and exchanging ideas. Our past B&B student Retreat included data-blitzes, neuroscience-themed scavenger hunt, reptile seminar from conservationist, team building and a workshop examining multiple levels of analysis.

! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOPS! !

In FY 2014, B&B organized an Interview Prep workshop led by Ashley Watts from the university's Career Services. In addition, Fellows had the opportunity to take a COS Pivot workshop lead by Princeanna Walker from the University Research Services and Administration in FY 2014, where they learned the skills necessary to search world wide databases for external funding. By preparing our B&B students both in and out of the classroom, B&B sends a more well-equipped professional into the workforce. Other previous workshops have included curriculum vitae prep, grant writing and utilizing multiple levels of analysis. In the future, B&B plans to have a career fair panel, jobhunting 101, and a utilizing technology in the classroom seminar.

Speakers have lunch with B&B Fellows

The Brains & Behavior Fellows Seminar course is tied to the DLS (above) and is a required student-led discussion-based course. Students work in groups to present the papers chosen by the B&B speakers. There were nine invited speakers for the 2014 fiscal year and each student was responsible for presenting 1 to 2 speakers. After presenting and reading the author’s papers, the students attend the lecture and are in a far more advantageous position to ask meaningful questions and engage in significant dialog at the lunch following.!

B&B Seed Grants Program! Not only is collaboration seen at the student level within the B&B Fellowship, but the annual B&B Seed Grant program fosters collaboration at the faculty level as well. Each year, faculty across 8 disciplines work together to initiate interdisciplinary research with the support of a seed grant. Many times, these small projects go on to garner federal funding and develop into large collaborative research. In this section, you will find the funded Seed Grants from FY 2014. !

Community Engagement! • BRAIN AWARENESS MONTH (BAM)! ! BAM is a brain awareness campaign and although it lasts throughout all 52 weeks of the year, March is an especially active time for Brain Awareness and is so called Brain Awareness Month (BAM). Upon request of the the B&B Program, in April of 2012, Governor Nathan Deal declared March Brain Awareness Month for all of Georgia (See pic and declaration below). B&B staff, researchers, and Fellows are especially active in this outreach program through a variety outlets, such as expos, teaching k-12, and much more.!

! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! • ALZHEIMER’S MEMORY WALK! ! The annual Alzheimer’s Memory Walk has become a B&B program tradition. In FY 2014, the B&B team raised about $1000 and was 20 people strong.!

Staying Connected (http://www.neuroscience.gsu.edu/staying_connected.html)! • Brains and Behavior Alumni Network (BaBAN)! This new interactive program utilizes google maps technology and helps alumni and current Fellows find and connect with B&B alums through the Brains and Behavior Alumni Network (BaBAN)* It showcases Fellow location, job position, and contact info. There are close to 50 B&B Alumni on BaBAN at this time. ! *For privacy concerns, only B&B Fellows have access to BaBAN at this time. !

• FACEBOOK! ! Brains & Behavior has a Facebook group here:https: //www.facebook.com/ groups/gsubrainsandbehavior/ . This group is used to post events, pictures, workshops, social gatherings, and B&B news. !

!

• TWITTER! ! We tweet research findings, events, and student & faculty accomplishments almost daily. In the spirit of dialog, we encourage people to feel free to add to the conversation. Anyone can follow our live stream here: ! https://twitter.com/BrainsBehavrGSU!

!

• B&B LIST SERV! ! We have almost 500 students, faculty, staff, and researchers on this email list who receive all announcements concerning B&B lectures, graduate/professional opportunities, and much more. To join, please email Liz Weaver: [email protected].! • B&B POTENTIAL!

Just like an action potential allows for communication, so does the B&B Potential newsletter. Albeit, one is on a micro scale and within a neuronal network and the other is on macro scale and within the Brains & Behavior community. Nevertheless, communication is at the center of both! Recently, the B&B Potential has become a full blown magazine. Hard copies are always available at 885 Petit Science Center. It is published twice a year and archives can always be found on the neuroscience website: ! http://neuroscience.gsu.edu/brains-behavior/staying-connected/potential-newsletterarchive/!
