EXCEED THE SPACE PROVIDED. The goal of this training grant is to educate imaging scientists in the application of advanced neuroimaging methods in the study of normal and abnormal brain development, the assessment and evaluation of diseases involving the central nervous system in children, and the study of how those diseases affect normal brain development and recovery (i.e. reorganization and plasticity). Neuroimaging is now, and will continue to be, one of the most important tools available for the study of both normal and abnormal brain development. We believe that currently a pool of well-trained imaging researchers in pediatric neuroscience does not exist in sufficient numbers to meet future demands in academic programs and in industry. The primary goal of this training program is to begin to provide a pool of imaging researchers well trained in both the imaging sciences as well as the biology of the developing brain. Two levels of training are proposed. The first will involve the training of 3 predoctoral graduate students from the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Cincinnati who will take classes in basic and advanced imaging methods, anatomy and physiology, embryology, biochemistry, research methods (Research Design and Biostatistics), developmental biology and computer science. Their dissertation will focus directly on imaging applications in developmental neuroscience. The duration of training will be approximately 5 years and will culminate in both a M.S. and Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering with a focus on pediatric neuroimaging. The second will serve as an integrative training opportunity and will involve the training of 4 postdoctoral fellows pulling from a variety of disciplines including neuroimaging, psychiatry, psychology, neurology, rehabilitation, biochemistry and basic neuroscience in pediatrics to focus on neuroimaging applications in their subspecialty. The goal of such an approach is to integrate imaging across multiple pediatric neuroscience disciplines, and is consistent with the interdisciplinary goals of the Imaging Research Center (IRC) at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC). These fellowships will be for a two-year period. Faculty of this training program will pull from a variety of pediatric neuroscience disciplines; all currently active in research which involves some aspect of pediatric neuroimaging as it applies to childhood CNS disease or development. We expect that trainees from this program will have good success in moving on to careers in both academia and industry as a result of this interdisciplinary approach.

超出所提供的空间。该培训补助金的目的是教育成像科学家在正常和异常大脑发育研究中应用先进的神经成像方法，评估和评价涉及儿童中枢神经系统的疾病，以及研究这些疾病如何影响正常大脑发育和恢复（即重组和可塑性）。神经影像学现在是，并将继续是研究正常和异常大脑发育的最重要工具之一。我们认为，目前在儿科神经科学训练有素的成像研究人员池不存在足够的数量，以满足未来的需求，在学术课程和行业。该培训计划的主要目标是开始提供一批在成像科学和大脑发育生物学方面训练有素的成像研究人员。提出了两个层次的培训。第一个项目将培训来自辛辛那提大学生物医学工程系的3名博士前研究生，他们将学习基础和高级成像方法、解剖学和生理学、胚胎学、生物化学、研究方法（研究设计和生物统计学）、发育生物学和计算机科学。他们的论文将直接集中在发育神经科学中的成像应用。培训的持续时间将是大约5年，并将最终在两个硕士。和博士专注于儿科神经影像学的生物医学工程。第二个将作为一个综合培训机会，将涉及4名博士后研究员的培训，他们来自不同的学科，包括神经影像学，精神病学，心理学，神经学，康复，生物化学和儿科基础神经科学，专注于神经影像学在他们的子专业的应用。这种方法的目标是整合多个儿科神经科学学科的成像，并与辛辛那提儿童医院医学中心（CCHMC）成像研究中心（IRC）的跨学科目标一致。这些奖学金为期两年。该培训计划的教师将来自各种儿科神经科学学科;所有目前活跃的研究涉及儿科神经影像学的某些方面，因为它适用于儿童CNS疾病或发育。我们希望，从这个程序的学员将有良好的成功，在学术界和工业界的职业生涯，作为这种跨学科的方法的结果。性能现场=
