Learning, Memory, and Plasticity (LaMP) Training Program

项目摘要/摘要。 这是我们的高级博士前培训计划在学习、记忆和学习方面的第一次续签申请 加州大学戴维斯分校的可塑性(LAMP)。加州大学戴维斯分校的LAMP研究既广泛又深入，涵盖了6所学校和 大学和所有主要层面的研究--认知、系统、细胞/分子和疾病。48岁的 从该社区中挑选出来的培训师具有高度的协作性，并且重视跨学科的方法 研究。我们的创新计划培养下一代神经科学家，以弥合 LAMP研究的主要层面--认知、系统、细胞/分子--以促进我们的理解 减少灯光障碍，减轻其对家庭、社会和公共卫生的巨大负担。此次续订 我们四年计划的申请建议继续支持每个高级博士后实习生6人 年，这一规模对于创建一个跨越传统学科界限的团队至关重要，跨越了 分析，并涉及基础研究和翻译研究。来自8个参与的研究生团体的实习生 将有资格在研究生培训的第二年和第三年申请LAMP培训计划。一年制 培训计划有6个组成部分。(1)受训者将在至少一个LAMP学院进行研究 并将由来自LAMP研究的不同领域的另一位培训师共同指导。(2A)受训人员将 通过2/4的核心课程了解LAMP各个领域的基本概念和新兴概念 由互动讲座和基于实验的沉浸组成，为学员提供了解 在每个分析层次上使用的概念和方法的利弊。方法，以增强 每届会议都将讨论可再现性问题。(2B)学员还将暴露在灯的紊乱中 通过由教学和访谈/视频课程组成的课程，涵盖临床、认知、系统和 每种疾病的分子方面。(3)学员将通过 每周与项目负责人举行会议-强调批判性和跨学科的思考和演示 技能，学术之外与研究相关职业的正式讨论，以及该领域的紧迫问题，如 如数据分析、伦理和可再现性。(4)受训人员将接受广泛的赠款撰写培训 提交他们的NRSA或同等证书。(5)学员和培训师将参加每月一次的会议，以带来 社区一起围绕NeuroCareer Path计划内的网络机会以及 该领域的特邀专家。(6)实习生将参加年度计划务虚会和受邀参加 台灯扬声器系列。我们的计划还强调参与外展和多样性、公平和 包容性方案和研讨会。通过这些要素，这一高级培训计划将产生 新一代，高度多样化的科学家，他们真正地跨层次和跨尺度思考，他们拥有 干劲，以及协作解决学习、记忆和学习中最重要问题的动力 可塑性，以改善人类健康。

Project Summary/Abstract. This is the first renewal application for our advanced predoctoral Training Program in Learning, Memory, and Plasticity (LaMP) at UC Davis. LaMP research at UC Davis is both broad and deep, spanning 6 schools and colleges and all of the major levels of research—cognitive, systems, cellular/molecular, and disease. The 48 Trainers selected from this community are highly collaborative and value interdisciplinary approaches to their research. Our innovative Program trains the next generation of neuroscientists to bridge the gaps between the major levels of LaMP research—cognitive, systems, cellular/molecular—in order to promote our understanding of LaMP disorders and reduce their tremendous burden on families, society, and public health. This renewal application for our 4-year-old program proposes to continue to support 6 advanced predoctoral Trainees per year, a size essential for creating a group that crosses traditional disciplinary boundaries, spans levels of analysis, and addresses both basic and translational research. Trainees from 8 participating graduate groups will be eligible to apply to the LaMP Training Program in Years 2 and 3 of their graduate training. The 1-year Training Program has 6 components. (1) Trainees will conduct research in at least one of the LaMP faculty labs and will be co-mentored by another trainer from a distinct area of LaMP research. (2a) Trainees will be exposed to the essential and emerging concepts in each of the fields of LaMP through a 2-quarter core course consisting of interactive lectures as well as lab-based immersion to give trainees the tools to understand the pros and cons of both the concepts and methods used at each level of analysis. Methods to enhance reproducibility will be addressed in every session. (2b) Trainees will also be exposed to LaMP disorders through a course consisting of didactic and interview/video sessions that span clinical, cognitive, systems and molecular aspects of each disease. (3) Trainees will receive targeted career development training through a weekly meeting with the Program Directors—emphasizing critical and cross-disciplinary thinking, presentation skills, formal discussion of research-related careers outside of academia, and pressing issues in the field such as data analysis, ethics, and reproducibility. (4) Trainees will receive extensive training in grant writing prior to submission of their NRSA or equivalent. (5) Trainees and Trainers will participate in a monthly meeting to bring the community together around networking opportunities within the NeuroCareer Pathways program as well as invited experts in the field. (6) Trainees will participate in an annual program retreat and attend an invited LaMP speaker series. Our Program also emphasizes participation in outreach and diversity, equity, and inclusion programs and workshops. Through these elements, this advanced Training Program will produce a new, highly diverse generation of scientists who truly think across levels and scales and who have the skills, drive, and motivation to work collaboratively to tackle the most important issues in learning, memory, and plasticity in order to improve human health.
