9413220 Ketterson This award renews support of a joint effort of 14 faculty that provides education and research training for undergraduate, graduate and postdoctoral students. This Research Training Group (RTG) is a central focus of the recently-established Center for the Integrative Study of Animal Behavior at Indiana University. The faculty, who come from the Departments of Biology, Psychology, Law, and Medical Sciences, bring six subdisciplinary perspectives to the RTG: sensory physiology, behavioral ecology, evolutionary biology, developmental psychobiology, animal learning, and behavioral neuroscience. Graduate students who participate in the RTG are drawn from three graduate programs: biology, psychology and an interdisciplinary program in neuroscience. The RTG provides students with academic year and summer assistantships, travel support or research support. The courses, seminars and other educational activities of the RTG result from the integration across 5 areas of research: communication, sex and reproductive behavior, learning and motivation, ontogeny and evolution, and spatial organization of behavior. As well as representing natural combinations of faculty research interests, these areas provide foci for the development of student research projects. Several of the courses required of RTG trainees have been newly developed by RTG faculty; students must also participate in a year-long seminar on scientific integrity developed jointly by the RTG and the Poynter Center for Study of Ethics and American Institutions. In addition to the core faculty, there are 10 adjunct faculty in five other departments whose have related research interests and whose students benefit from the courses and seminars and other educational activities of the RTG. ***

9413220 Ketterson该奖项再次支持14名教师共同努力，为本科生、研究生和博士后学生提供教育和研究培训。这个研究培训小组(RTG)是印第安纳大学最近成立的动物行为综合研究中心的中心重点。这些教师来自生物学、心理学、法学和医学科学系，他们为RTG带来了六个子学科的视角：感觉生理学、行为生态学、进化生物学、发展心理生物学、动物学习和行为神经科学。参加RTG的研究生来自三个研究生项目：生物学、心理学和神经科学的一个跨学科项目。RTG为学生提供学年和暑期助学金、旅行支持或研究支持。RTG的课程、研讨会和其他教育活动是跨5个研究领域整合的结果：交流、性和生殖行为、学习和动机、个体发生和进化以及行为的空间组织。除了代表教师研究兴趣的自然组合，这些领域也为学生研究项目的发展提供了重点。RTG培训学员的几门必修课是由RTG教员新开发的；学生还必须参加由RTG和Poynter道德研究中心和美国机构联合开发的为期一年的科学诚信研讨会。除了核心教员外，另有五个系的10名兼职教员，他们有相关的研究兴趣，他们的学生从RTG的课程、研讨会和其他教育活动中受益。***
