DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Project Summary: The training program in Integrative Neuroscience in Health and Disease is designed to provide broad-based training for both pre- and postdoctoral fellows. Our goals are to 1) train neuroscientists who have a broad understanding and acquaintance with the sub-fields of neuroscience and 2) provide financial support to collaborative research projects that join laboratories with differing intellectual and/or experimental expertise. The program builds upon a 5 year joint program between the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey and Rutgers University in Newark. Trainees, therefore, will have access to the facilities of both schools, which lie within 5 blocks of one another, and the basic science and clinical seminars and courses which they offer. The training faculty has expertise in all aspects of neuroscience, biology, and neurology. The breadth of the research ongoing in the two institutions will ensure exposure to multiple experimental approaches and multiple mentors. Additionally, there are intentional opportunities throughout the program for researchers in different sub-fields to interact. Although the faculty is experienced in successful mentoring, the program will have advisors for both pre- and post-doctorates, as well as student and postdoctoral representatives to ensure a high quality of supervision, a fulfilling training experience, and successful career advancement. Postdoctoral training will be enhanced by the Office of Postdoctoral Affairs. We are requesting support for 2 pre-doctoral fellows each year and 2 postdoctoral fellows in year 1 and 3 in each year thereafter. Each trainee will be supported for 2 years during which time they will be assisted in applying for fellowships or other grant support. Attendance and presentation at research meetings, participation in teaching activities, submission of publications and support of peers and colleagues will be strongly and actively encouraged. Relevance: This grant will train neuroscientists who will work on the entire breadth of neurological disease including degenerations, drug addiction, obesity, epilepsy, pain and language and learning disorders. It promotes interaction among all the fields of neuroscience from behavior to molecular neurobiology to stimulate innovative and therapeutic breakthroughs.

描述（由申请人提供）： 项目摘要：健康与疾病综合神经科学培训项目旨在为博士前和博士后研究员提供广泛的培训。我们的目标是 1) 培养对神经科学子领域有广泛了解和熟悉的神经科学家，2) 为加入具有不同智力和/或实验专业知识的实验室的合作研究项目提供财政支持。该项目建立在新泽西医学和牙科大学与纽瓦克罗格斯大学之间为期 5 年的联合项目的基础上。因此，学员将可以使用两所学校（彼此相距不到 5 个街区）的设施，并参加它们提供的基础科学和临床研讨会和课程。培训教师拥有神经科学、生物学和神经病学各个方面的专业知识。两个机构正在进行的研究的广度将确保接触多种实验方法和多名导师。此外，整个项目还为不同子领域的研究人员提供了互动的机会。尽管教师在成功指导方面经验丰富，但该项目将配备博士前和博士后顾问以及学生和博士后代表，以确保高质量的指导、充实的培训体验和成功的职业发展。博士后办公室加强博士后培训工作。我们每年请求支持 2 名博士前研究员，并在其后每年的第一年和第三年请求支持 2 名博士后研究员。每位学员将获得两年的支持，在此期间，他们将获得协助申请奖学金或其他补助金支持。我们将大力积极鼓励出席研究会议并进行演讲、参与教学活动、提交出版物以及获得同行和同事的支持。相关性：这笔赠款将培训神经科学家，他们将致力于研究整个神经系统疾病，包括退化、毒瘾、肥胖、癫痫、疼痛、语言和学习障碍。它促进从行为到分子神经生物学的所有神经科学领域之间的相互作用，以激发创新和治疗突破。
