APAGS/Psi Chi Junior Scientist Fellowship
The intent of the Junior Scientist Fellowship is two-fold: to provide funding for a first-year or second-year graduate-level project and to provide constructive feedback to select applicants to increase their chances of achieving success on future National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellowship applications.
The primary intent is to recognize outstanding research-oriented students who are entering their first year (or the first semester of their second year) of graduate study and to help them get their research off the ground. Graduate students from research-based psychology and neuroscience programs are eligible to apply.
The second intent of this fellowship is to provide written feedback to select applicants. Many students apply for the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship without ever having applied for a research fellowship. By providing feedback to select applicants, this program encourages them to strengthen their NSF graduate fellowship applications.
Funds for this $1,000 fellowship must be used to support direct research costs. These funds can be used to pay participants, purchase essential equipment or software, acquire books or instructional manuals critical to one's line of research, pay fees to publish in open-access journals, or for any other direct research cost. The funds cannot be used for indirect costs such as travel, personal computers, or class textbooks. The funds can be used for any direct research costs in a student's first year (or in the second year, if submitting in the summer prior to one's second year) of graduate school and do not need to be limited to the research discussed in the Research Essay.
Special APS Membership Offer for PSI CHI Student Members
The Association for Psychological Science is offering a reduced APS Students Membership rate for PSI CHI student members. Membership includes subscriptions to four APS journals, discount rates for the APS annual convention, and other benefits. This offer is good for new memberships only. To take advantage of this offer, use the PSI CHI promotional code PSCH at www.psychologicalscience.org/join.

Is an animal behavior degree the same as a psychology degree?
At the crossroads of environmental science, biology, marine sciences, neuroscience, and psychology, an animal behavior degree encompasses a wide variety of fascinating subjects.
The interdisciplinary curriculum at UNE is designed to build concept and skill mastery in the discipline of animal behavior and includes coursework in the fields of psychology (the study of behavior and mental processes) and biology (the study of the living world; including marine and environmental sciences), among other disciplines.
UNE also offers a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Psychology as a major and a Minor in Psychology.
Is an animal behavior degree the same as an animal science degree?
No, animal science and animal behavior are not the same. Because they are both animal-related degree programs, an animal behavior degree is often confused with an animal science degree. Animal science majors typically engage in a curriculum that primarily emphasizes the management of livestock species like cattle, horses, pigs, goats, and sheep, with some programs also including the study of companion animal species to some extent. Depending on the program, coursework may include topics in animal behavior.
Very few schools offer an animal behavior degree program at the undergraduate level. UNE in Maine is one of those programs. Our Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in Animal Behavior is truly interdisciplinary incorporating coursework in environmental science, biology, marine sciences, neuroscience, psychology, with animal behavior. This gives students the flexibility to explore many different career paths including animal rehabilitation, animal behavior research, animal training, and veterinary medicine.
