DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed program will emphasize interdisciplinary predoctoral training in neuroscience within the framework of the existing Committee on Neuroscience at the University of Arizona. The program will support predoctoral trainees during the initial two years of study towards the Ph.D. degree and will focus on the fundamental concepts of neuroscience that are essential regardless of the eventual area of specialization. The training faculty will consist of 35 members of the interdepartmental Committee on Neuroscience, who were selected on the basis of their distinguished records in research and training. Training faculty members hold appointments in 18 different departments on the main campus and College of Medicine, which are contiguous. Research strengths in several disciplines are represented, including developmental neuroscience, insect neurobiology, motor control, cognition, learning and memory, speech production, and neuropharmacology. Based upon the current size of the training faculty and their level of research activity, we are requesting 6 predoctoral training positions, with two years of support being offered to the most promising new students seeking training in neuroscience. All trainees will complete a common set of core requirements, and may choose to seek the Ph.D. degree either through the interdepartmental doctoral Program in Neuroscience (in which all of the training faculty participate) or through one of the departmental doctoral programs in which the training faculty participate, including Cell Biology & Anatomy, Molecular & Cellular Biology, Psychology, Physiological Sciences and Pharmacology. Facilities for research training include the extensive equipment and expertise in individual faculty laboratories, as well as comprehensive shared resources at the University of Arizona.

描述（由申请人提供）：提议的项目将在亚利桑那大学现有的神经科学委员会框架内强调神经科学的跨学科博士前培训。该计划将支持博士预科学员在攻读博士学位的前两年，并将重点放在神经科学的基本概念上，这些概念无论最终的专业领域如何都是必不可少的。培训教员将由神经科学跨部门委员会的35名成员组成，这些成员是根据他们在研究和培训方面的杰出记录选出的。培训教员在主校区和医学院的18个不同部门任职，这些部门是相邻的。几个学科的研究优势得到了体现，包括发育神经科学、昆虫神经生物学、运动控制、认知、学习和记忆、语言产生和神经药理学。根据目前培训教师的规模和他们的研究活动水平，我们要求6个博士前培训职位，提供两年的支持
