DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application for a new, institutional training grant requests funds for 4 positions (2 in the initial year), for postdoctoral fellows. Fellows will participate in the recently-developed Training Program in the Neurological Sciences at the Neurological Sciences Institute (NSI), a multi-disciplinary neuroscience research unit at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU). NSI faculty is a diverse group with primary training in biological sciences, physics, engineering, and physical therapy. NSI faculty members' research covers a range of central and autonomic nervous system functions, from sensation to neuronal plasticity, memory, motor control, and disease and injury processes. Their research uses a full range of experimental approaches, from molecular and cellular studies to neuroprosthetics, systems neuroscience, and mathematical modeling. The purposes of this training program are to help postdoctoral fellows develop strong research skills in multiple neuroscience disciplines, develop critical thinking and scientific communication skills, develop a scientific knowledge base in their area(s) of specialization, acquire technical and laboratory management skills needed to direct their own independent research programs, and develop a publication record - all of which are essential for ultimately establishing and maintaining an independent career in neuroscience research. In addition, NSI stresses community outreach as well as the application of one's basic research to health-care problems. As a result, the training program is designed to instill an awareness that the purpose of scientific research goes beyond the exploration of the unknown, to include education and application.

描述（由申请人提供）： 这项新的机构培训补助金申请要求为博士后研究员提供4个职位的资金（第一年为2个）。研究员将参加神经科学研究所（NSI）最近开发的神经科学培训计划，该研究所是俄勒冈州健康与科学大学（OHSU）的多学科神经科学研究单位。NSI教师是一个多元化的群体，在生物科学，物理学，工程学和物理治疗方面接受过初级培训。NSI教职员工的研究涵盖了一系列中枢和自主神经系统功能，从感觉到神经元可塑性，记忆，运动控制以及疾病和损伤过程。他们的研究使用了全方位的实验方法，从分子和细胞研究到神经修复学、系统神经科学和数学建模。该培训计划的目的是帮助博士后研究员在多个神经科学学科中培养强大的研究技能，培养批判性思维和科学沟通技能，在其专业领域建立科学知识基础，获得指导自己独立研究计划所需的技术和实验室管理技能，并建立出版记录-所有这些对于最终建立和保持神经科学研究的独立职业生涯至关重要。此外，国家统计研究所强调社区推广以及将自己的基础研究应用于保健问题。因此，培训计划旨在灌输一种意识，即科学研究的目的不仅仅是探索未知，还包括教育和应用。
