Translating Cognitive and Brain Science in the Laboratory and Field to Language Learning Environments

We are excited to announce a new opportunity for UCI undergraduate and graduate students to conduct innovative language science research at leading institutions in Europe, Asia and Latin America, sponsored through a grant from the National Science Foundation’s Partnerships for International Research and Education (PIRE) program.

Translating Cognitive and Brain Science in the Laboratory and Field to Language Learning Environments trains a diverse workforce of language scientists to conduct basic and applied behavioral and neuroscience research. Our work involves domestic and international collaborations, and aims to translate basic science in culturally diverse contexts.
