Training Across Disciplines to Broaden Perspectives
The UC Davis Training Program in Learning, Memory, and Plasticity (LaMP) provides predoctoral training across disciplines to bridge the gaps between the major levels of LaMP research - cognitive, systems, and cellular/molecular - to promote understanding of LaMP disorders and reduce their tremendous burden on families, society, and public health. The program is geared for a new generation of scientists who truly think across levels and scales and who have the skills, drive and motivation to work collaboratively to tackle the most important issues in LaMP in order to improve human health.
The LaMP Training Program provides trainees with one year of support (Oct 1- Sept 30) during their second or third year of graduate school. Trainees receive a travel allowance, full tuition/fees and stipend. Trainees participate in LaMP core and career development courses, give oral presentations, develop and submit their own NRSA grant and are encouraged to engage in multiple community outreach events.

"I've been able to learn directly from physicians about the problems faced by individuals with disorders that affect learning and memory. This helps to ask research questions at multiple biological levels." -Jake Wilmot, Psychology
