Key objectives for the program include: • Providing hands-on research experience to undergraduates • Providing educational and career mentorship in cognitive neuroscience research • Expanding trainee research capacity at the RRI In summer 2016, 22 students were selected to work with participating RRI scientists. As part of their experience, a special Summer Education Series was offered: RTC Soupcoff Internship Program The objectives of the RTC internship program are to expose research trainees (graduate student or postdoctoral fellow) to diverse vocational domains; allow them to reframe, adapt, and leverage their existing skills; expand their network connections; and provide them with additional work experience. The Mynne & Harold Soupcoff Internship is an 8-12 week internship, whereby research trainees are employed on a full-time basis (35 hours/week) at a partner organization. Trainee stipends are paid in full by Baycrest during the course of the internship through a donor endowment fund.
