DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The primary goal of this application is to promote interdisciplinary research on typical and atypical development, using biological and behavioral tools and techniques, by training highly qualified postdoctoral fellows. We shall target trainees who have received Ph.D.s either in behavioral disciplines, such as Psychology or Communicative Disorders, or in biological disciplines, such as Neuroscience, along with M.D.s from Pediatric disciplines such as Developmental Pediatrics or Child Psychiatry. We propose to train three Ph.D. and two M.D. postdoctoral trainees per year, in three-year traineeship cycles, using an innovative program that provides a rich combination of didactic and intensive research experiences. More specifically, the training program will have four key elements: (a) mechanisms for coordinating and monitoring individualized training; (b) intensive research training experiences; (c) a core curriculum; and (d) a requirement that training experiences result in well-defined products in a timely manner. The intensive research experiences will be designed to achieve the following goals: (a) increase the trainee's knowledge of typical and atypical development; (b) expand the trainee's repertoire of techniques for designing and conducting biological or behavioral research; and (c) enable the trainee to develop a programmatic line of interdisciplinary inquiry. The public health relevance will be the development of a cadre of medical and biobehavioral scientists who possess the requisite skills and knowledge to integrate the study of typical and atypical development.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请的主要目标是通过培训高素质的博士后研究员，利用生物和行为工具和技术，促进典型和非典型发育的跨学科研究。我们的目标是获得行为学科博士学位（如心理学或沟通障碍）或生物学科（如神经科学）博士学位的学员，以及儿科学科（如发育儿科或儿童精神病学）的医学博士学位。我们建议培养三名博士。每年有两名医学博士博士后培训生，在三年的培训周期中，使用提供丰富的教学和深入研究经验相结合的创新计划。更具体地说，培训计划将有四个关键要素： (a) 协调和监测个性化培训的机制； (b) 强化研究培训经验； (c) 核心课程； (d) 要求培训经验及时产生明确的产品。深入的研究经验旨在实现以下目标： (a) 增加受训者对典型和非典型发展的了解； (b) 扩大受训者设计和进行生物或行为研究的技术储备； (c) 使受训者能够制定跨学科探究的计划路线。与公共卫生相关的是培养一支医学和生物行为科学家骨干队伍，他们拥有整合典型和非典型发展研究所需的技能和知识。
