A unique aspect of the LINCR program was that the LFs were also required to completebiweekly educational prompts throughout the program as pilot materials for an educational classin the proposed neurobiotechnology curriculum at Georgia Tech (Appendix B). A samplesolution created by the LINCR planning committee was provided for each educational prompt toguide the LFs through the educational prompt process. These prompts were intended to informLINCR fellows about possible ways to translate their LINCR research experience beyond just‘pure research’ into possible
