PROJECT SUMMARY This is the second renewal of Mount Sinai's Jointly Sponsored Institutional Predoctoral T32 Training Program in Neuroscience. The objective of the Training Program is to provide rigorous, broad-based, individualized and multidisciplinary training to Year 1 and 2 predoctoral students in basic, translational and clinical neuroscience research, thereby enhancing the ability of our trainees to acquire critical skillsets necessary for high-quality doctoral dissertation research and a productive and impactful career in the science- related workforce. To accomplish this, the Training Program leverages the intimate association between the Mount Sinai Hospital and Health System, the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and Mount Sinai's Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, physically embedded together under one leadership, to expose trainees to the enormous breadth of basic, translational and clinical scientific approaches and model systems represented by an outstanding training faculty, ranging from structure/function analysis of individual synapses, to computational modeling of gene, protein and connectivity networks in healthy and diseased brains, to behavioral, electrophysiological and imaging studies of a variety of organisms, including humans. Mount Sinai has undergone an enormous expansion in basic and clinical research infrastructure, neuroscience faculty recruitment and a 3-fold increase in applications to the Neuroscience PhD program. Thus, seven training slots per year are requested. Our trainees participate in an integrated program of Core courses (spanning genes, molecules, cells, synapses, circuits, systems, behaviors and brain pathophysiology) and includes a course with direct patient contact. Courses are team-taught by an exceptional faculty using different teaching styles, including flipped classrooms and other approaches. Additional first-year courses include Responsible Conduct in Research, Rigor and Reproducibiity, an intensive Biostatistics course (with a parallel lab in R-programming) a Journal Club/WIP and research rotations. By the end of the first year, trainees select a thesis lab, and during their second year, commence dissertation research while taking at least two Advanced Electives from a large number of courses offered across the Institution. This allows each trainee to customize their coursework to their particular research and training goal needs. Trainees in our program also benefit from numerous activities that enhance their research experience, including science theme-based Clubs, seminars, career development opportunities, teaching and peer-mentoring activities, an annual retreat and other cohesion-building events. This Neuroscience Training Program T32 is essential to Mount Sinai's mission of providing fundamental neuroscience research training to our students, and serves as the principal research training, mentoring and financial engine driving specifically early-stage predoctoral students seeking a PhD in Neuroscience.

项目总结 这是西奈山联合主办的机构博士前T32培训的第二次更新 神经科学项目。培训计划的目标是提供严格的、广泛的、 对一年级和二年级博士前学生进行个性化和多学科的基础、翻译和 临床神经科学研究，从而提高学员获取关键技能的能力 对于高质量的博士论文研究和在科学领域富有成效和影响力的职业生涯来说是必要的- 相关劳动力。为了实现这一目标，培训计划利用了 西奈山医院和卫生系统、西奈山伊坎医学院和西奈山医院 生物医学研究生院，在一个领导下实际嵌入在一起，以揭露 对基础、翻译和临床科学方法和模型系统的广度进行培训 由优秀的培训人员代表，范围从单个突触的结构/功能分析， 到对健康和患病大脑中的基因、蛋白质和连接网络进行计算建模，到 对包括人类在内的各种生物体的行为、电生理和成像研究。西奈山 在基础和临床研究基础设施、神经科学学院方面经历了巨大的扩张 神经科学博士项目的招聘人数和申请人数增加了3倍。因此，有七个培训时段 每年都会被要求。我们的学员参加核心课程的综合计划(跨越基因、 分子、细胞、突触、电路、系统、行为和大脑病理生理学)，并包括一门 直接接触病人。课程由一群杰出的教师团队教授，采用不同的教学风格， 包括翻转教室和其他方法。额外的一年级课程包括负责任的行为 在研究、严谨和重复性方面，生物统计学强化课程(与R-编程的平行实验室) A期刊俱乐部/WIP和研究轮换。在第一年结束时，学员选择一个论文实验室，并在 他们的第二年，在开始论文研究的同时，从一个大的 学院提供的课程数量。这允许每个受训者定制他们的课程作业以 他们特定的研究和培训目标需求。我们计划中的学员也从众多活动中受益 增强他们的研究经验，包括以科学为主题的俱乐部、研讨会、职业发展 提供机会、教学和同伴辅导活动、年度务虚会和其他凝聚力建设活动。 这项神经科学培训计划T32对于西奈山的使命来说是必不可少的 为我们的学生提供神经科学研究培训，并作为主要的研究培训、指导和 金融引擎驱动，特别是早期博士后学生寻求神经科学博士学位。
