Project Summary The mission of NIMH is to transform the understanding and treatment of mental illnesses through basic and clinical research, paving the way for prevention, recovery, and cure. This application proposes to enhance training, mentorship, racial and ethnic inclusion, gender diversity and expansion of professional development for trainees and early stage investigators to the annual International Behavioral Neuroscience Society (IBNS). This proposal seeks to: 1) Provide financial support for trainees and early stage investigators to attend the annual IBNS meeting. Such funding will provide opportunities to showcase their research, as well as formalized network and mentee-mentorship opportunities with leading scientists in the field that extend throughout the trainees’ careers; 2) Continue support of workshops that focus on training, enhancing, and promoting diversity and inclusion within IBNS, with outreach that goes beyond the annual meeting; 3) Ensure that the junior women and trainees from underrepresented groups supported by these funds obtain training in targeting NIMH scientific priorities consistent with the IBNS mission. Given that psychiatric disorders are categorized by their behavioral abnormalities, it is imperative to determine neural mechanisms underlying such behaviors, and critically, cross-species biomarkers of behavior. The IBNS since its creation in 1992, has been at the forefront of investigating behavior and underlying neural circuitry using the innovative neuroscientific tools integrated with sophisticated behavioral tools in order to: 1) Identify mechanisms of complex behaviors; 2) Determine potential neural biomarkers of such behaviors; 3) How these mechanisms are affected in disease states; 4) Target such mechanisms for preventions and cures; and 5) Improve behavioral neuroscience approaches for rigor and reproducibility and identify sex differences relevant to human behaviors. Given its international nature, IBNS has also been at the forefront at recruiting diverse viewpoints across science. With an additional goal for training the next generation of neuroscientists looking to understand and cure diseases, IBNS provides 20-26 Travel Awards annually, creating a safe space for diverse trainees. With this application, we wish to promote additional diversity of our travel awardees, as well as fund educational workshops to aid trainees from undergraduate, graduate, post doctoral (within 5 years), and early stage investigators (within 2 years of faculty appointment. This application therefore requests funding to increase the opportunities for trainees to attend our 2021 annual meetings.

项目摘要 NIMH的使命是通过基本的和有效的方法， 临床研究，为预防，康复和治疗铺平道路。本申请旨在提高 培训、辅导、种族和族裔包容、性别多样性和扩大专业发展 国际行为神经科学学会（IBNS）的培训生和早期研究人员。 这项建议的目的是：1）为学员和早期调查人员提供财政支持， IBNS年会这些资金将提供机会展示他们的研究，以及 与该领域的领先科学家建立正式的网络和导师指导机会， 2）继续支持侧重于培训、提高和 促进IBNS内部的多样性和包容性，外联活动超出年度会议; 3）确保 由这些基金支助的年轻妇女和来自代表性不足群体的受训人员接受培训， 以符合IBNS使命的NIMH科学优先级为目标。考虑到精神疾病是 根据他们的行为异常进行分类，必须确定这种行为背后的神经机制。 行为，更重要的是，行为的跨物种生物标志物。IBNS自1992年成立以来， 站在研究行为和潜在神经回路的最前沿， 与复杂行为工具相结合的工具，以便：1）识别复杂行为的机制; 2） 确定这些行为的潜在神经生物标志物; 3）这些机制如何在疾病中受到影响 4）针对这些机制进行预防和治疗; 5）改善行为神经科学 方法的严谨性和可重复性，并确定性别差异有关的人类行为。鉴于其 国际性质，IBNS也一直在招募跨科学的不同观点的前沿。与 另一个目标是培养下一代神经科学家，他们希望了解和治愈疾病， IBNS每年提供20-26个旅行奖励，为不同的学员创造一个安全的空间。有了这个应用程序， 我们希望促进我们的旅行获奖者的更多多样性，并资助教育讲习班， 本科生、研究生、博士后（5年内）和早期研究者（2年内） 多年的教师任命。因此，本申请要求提供资金，以增加以下机会： 参加我们的2021年年会。
