The Psychology Department in the College of Arts and Sciences seeks funding for one-year (2022-2023) to design a template for teaching a multi-section lecture/lab course that will serve the expanding demand of the Interdisciplinary Neuroscience Major. This proposal will address the enrollment needs that will incur due to the expansion of the Neuroscience Major from a cohort of 25 to 100 in two years, and potentially larger thereafter. This lab course will be required from all majors–that is 50 students in AY 22-23, and 100 students in AY 23-24. The proposed template design will be implemented on an existing lab course, PSYC 3210 Research Methods in Psychology in Spring 2023 as a 2-section offering. The template will also be ready for implementation as a 4-section course in following years and may be offered under a different name. While offered as an interdisciplinary major by Psychology and Biology departments, the Neuroscience Major is part of a newly established Program in Fundamental Neuroscience in the College of Arts and Sciences. The proposed Neuroscience Lab Course template will further the collaborative commitment that diverse departments and schools have made in cross-pollinating neuroscience ideas and interests here at the University, while providing a key techniques foundation for students interested in neuroscience. The pilot implementation of the proposed template in PSYC 3210, a required course for psychology majors, will also provide a scalable syllabus for this course to meet future demands. This proposal will work towards the following goals: 1. Develop functional and logistical strategies to teach a neuroscience lab course as a multi-section course offering, and provide a scalable template syllabus; 2. Implement the template on an existing lab course, PSYC 3210, by redesigning its syllabus into a lecture course with multiple lab sections in order to increase the number of student enrollment, matching the projected demand; 3. Redesign the curriculum to become  a Course-Based Undergraduate Research Experience (CURE) to provide each student with an immersive, hands-on, questioned-based lab experience, designed to enhance learning; 4. Enhance student connection to each other and across the University by tying all content into relevant research that is ongoing here at UVA in individual neuroscience labs.
