PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Traditional approaches to train students in single disciplines seem insufficient to prepare them for the transdisciplinary future of translational neurobiology research. It is increasingly evident that the mere assembling of a collection of sub-discipline experts (for example a geneticist, computation biologist and psychologist) will be insufficient to adequately address the most important and pressing challenges in neurobiology and in developing therapies for complex brain disorders. We believe that exposing students to the transdisciplinary nature of translational neurobiology early in their careers is a crucial component of their training and key to attracting bright students to pursue neurobiology-related careers. To address this emerging and critical need, we have designed a summer undergraduate research experience, called the Virginia Tech Carilion Research Institute's Translational Neurobiology Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (VTCRI neuroSURF) program, which aims to expose the next generation of early-career students to transdisciplinary, translational neurobiology. VTCRI neuroSURF is a 10-week summer program that provides undergraduate and high school students the opportunity to participate in hypothesis-driven, independent research in an area of translational neurobiology at the Virginia Tech Carilion Research Institute in Roanoke, Virginia. In addition to these research experiences, fellows will participate in coursework (in topics both in translational neurobiology and professional development) and in a seminar series that highlight translational neurobiology research at Virginia Tech (VT). Fundamental goals of this program are to provide research experiences to students that would otherwise not have the opportunity to take part in translational neurobiology research and to expose students to independent research early in their careers to increase the likelihood of their choosing long-term careers in translational neurobiology-related fields.

项目概要/摘要 在单一学科中培养学生的传统方法似乎不足以让他们为未来做好准备 转化神经生物学研究的跨学科未来。越来越明显的是，仅仅 聚集了一批子学科专家（例如遗传学家、计算生物学家和 心理学家）将不足以充分解决最重要和最紧迫的挑战 神经生物学和开发复杂脑部疾病的疗法。我们相信揭露 让学生在职业生涯早期了解转化神经生物学的跨学科性质是至关重要的 这是他们培训的一部分，也是吸引聪明学生从事神经生物学相关职业的关键。 为了满足这一新兴的关键需求，我们设计了暑期本科生研究 经验，称为弗吉尼亚理工大学卡里利恩研究所的转化神经生物学夏季 本科生研究奖学金（VTCRI NeuroSURF）计划，旨在揭示下一个 一代早期职业学生跨学科、转化神经生物学。 VTCRI 神经冲浪 是一个为期 10 周的暑期项目，为本科生和高中生提供了 参与转化神经生物学领域的假设驱动的独立研究 位于弗吉尼亚州罗阿诺克的弗吉尼亚理工大学 Carilion 研究所。除了这些研究 经验，研究员将参加课程作业（主题包括转化神经生物学和 专业发展）以及强调转化神经生物学研究的研讨会系列 弗吉尼亚理工大学（佛蒙特州）。该计划的基本目标是为学生提供研究经验 否则将没有机会参与转化神经生物学研究并 让学生在职业生涯早期接触独立研究，以增加他们获得成功的可能性 选择转化神经生物学相关领域的长期职业。
