TRAINING IN NEUROENDOCRINOLOGY

该计划的目标是提供优秀的前和博士后培训生 知识的广度和当代研究技能， 发展成功的独立研究计划，在该领域 神经内分泌学资金要求四个博士预科和两个 神经内分泌学的博士后研究生。这其中的一个标志是 该计划是，它团结学员和教师从两个研究生课程， 提供了一个比通过单一的 研究生课程。拟议的培训包括多层次的分析， 从行为到生理，到细胞，到分子。博士前 学员将在第三年进入这个项目，在完成 他们各自的研究生课程的具体课程要求。每个 学生将选择一名主要顾问和一名共同顾问。的作用 主要顾问类似于论文顾问的传统角色。的 共同顾问将确保培训的多学科方面。学员 会花一部分时间在共同顾问的实验室里， 以及他们的家庭实验室无法解决的问题 与他们自己的论文研究有关。博士后培训生将得到支持 了两年博士后培养的主要重点是建立一个 强大的研究跟踪记录。博士后研究生也将积极 指导发展口头陈述，赠款写作和教学技能 必须确保并保持独立的学术地位。所有学员 我将积极参加一系列研讨会，期刊俱乐部，每月 参加会议的实验室介绍他们的研究。每年 研讨会将使学员接触来自全国各地的神经内分泌学家， U.S.A.

The goal of this program is to provide excellent pre- and postdoctoral trainees with the breadth of knowledge and contemporary research skills essential for developing successful independent research programs in the field of neuroendocrinology. Funds are requested for four predoctoral and two postdoctoral students for training in neuroendocrinology. A hallmark of this program is that it unites trainees and faculty from two graduate programs to provide a perspective far broader than what could be obtained through a single graduate program. The proposed training embraces multiple levels of analysis, from behavioral, to physiological, to cellular, to molecular. Predoctoral trainees will enter this program in their third year, after finishing the specific course requirements of their respective graduate programs. Each student will choose both a primary advisor and a co-advisor. The role of the primary advisor is similar to the traditional role of the thesis advisor. The co-advisor will ensure the multidisciplinary aspect of the training. Trainees will spend part of their time in the co-advisor's laboratory, using techniques and approaches not available in their home laboratory to address questions related to their own thesis research. Postdoctoral trainees will be supported for two years. The primary focus of the postdoctoral training is to build a strong research track record. Postdoctoral trainees will also be actively mentored to develop oral presentation, grant writing, and teaching skills necessary to secure and hold an independent academic position. All trainees will actively participate in a series of seminars, journal clubs, and monthly meetings where the participating laboratories present their research. An annual symposium will expose the trainees to neuroendocrinologists from across the U.S.A.
