DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This program is designed to train 5 predoctoral and 3 postdoctoral trainees, at anyone time, for research and training careers in developmental psychobiology and neurobiology. It is our belief that, since behavioral development rests upon the development of the nervous system, an understanding of the psychological development process requires an integrated knowledge of both behavioral and neural development. Thus an integrated interdisciplinary training program is proposed. Trainees will be admitted via one of two degree-granting units: the Neuroscience Program (NP) and the Biological Psychology Division of the Department of Psychology. In conjunction with the College of Medicine (Urbana-Champaign) a joint MD/PhD degree is also offered through both Programs. The philosophy underlying the design of this program includes the following: 1) because "chance favors the mind prepared", scientists can be more productive if their perspective is broadly interdisciplinary; 2) because the primary goal of this training program is development of research skills, students should be immersed, with strong mentor support, in research throughout their graduate training; 3) the ability to learn and develop critical new methodologies is important, and research training must prepare one for new skills as well as hone those current; 4) presentation skills, communicating ideas to students, colleagues, evaluative arenas and the public is a crucial part of being a good scientist, and 5) good professional ethics requires judgment asmuch as knowledge of the rules, which must be learned both through formal example and through in-laboratory experience with good mentors. Faculty range from behaviorally-oriented psychologists to molecularly-oriented biologists. Members of this group have proven themselves exceptionally capable of cooperation and collaboration, despite their diversity of background. This broad buffet of knowledge allows for a unique program of training that can equip its product to deal with the broad range of phenomena that fall under the heading "neuroscience". Careful attention to a core set of concepts, breadth of knowledge, centered appropriately around the trainee's focus of interest, and productive interactions among trainees and multiple faculty in multiple disciplines characterize our training.

描述（由申请人提供）：该计划旨在培训 5 博士前和 3 名博士后实习生，随时进行研究和 发展心理生物学和神经生物学的培训职业。这是我们的 相信，由于行为发展取决于 神经系统，了解心理发展过程 需要行为和神经发育的综合知识。 因此，提出了综合跨学科培训计划。实习生 将通过两个授予学位的单位之一录取：神经科学 计划（NP）和生物心理学系 心理学。 与医学院（厄巴纳-香槟）合作 这两个项目还提供联合医学博士/博士学位。 该程序设计的基本理念包括以下内容： 1）因为“机会青睐有准备的头脑”，科学家可以更 如果他们的观点具有广泛的跨学科性，那么他们就会富有成效； 2）因为 该培训计划的主要目标是发展研究技能， 学生应该在导师的大力支持下沉浸在研究中 整个研究生培训过程； 3）学习和发展的能力 关键的新方法很重要，研究培训必须做好准备 一项新技能以及磨练现有技能的培训； 4）演讲技巧， 与学生、同事、评估场所和公众交流想法 是成为一名优秀科学家的重要组成部分，5）良好的职业道德 需要判断力和规则知识，两者都必须学习 通过正式的例子和通过优秀导师的实验室经验。 教师范围从行为导向心理学家到分子导向 生物学家。该小组的成员已证明自己具有非凡的能力 尽管背景各异，但仍注重合作与协作。这 广泛的知识自助餐允许独特的培训计划， 使其产品能够处理属于以下范围的广泛现象 标题“神经科学”。 仔细关注一组核心概念， 知识的广度，适当地围绕受训者的重点 学员和多位教师之间的兴趣和富有成效的互动 多学科是我们培训的特点。
