Colors of the Brain, in collaboration with The Kavli Institute for Brain and Mind, invites applicants for their 2025 summer undergraduate research program (CoB-KIBM Scholars). Our goals are to motivate, mentor and facilitate the transition of undergraduate students at UC San Diego that come from disadvantaged economic and social backgrounds, as well as students with disabilities, into Ph.D. programs with significant relevance to neuroscience. The CoB-KIBM Scholars Program consists of a paid ($9,000 stipend to cover housing expenses and other needs, in-campus housing is not provided), full-time research position across 10 weeks within a UC San Diego or Salk laboratory, along with mentorship and support for navigating academic research for the remainder of their undergraduate education. We highly encourage students with little or no research experience to apply.

This program is open to rising sophomores, juniors, and seniors enrolled at UC San Diego. The full list of eligibility requirements and program benefits can be found on the CoB website.
