_ The goal of this research is to enable the development of novel interdisciplinary training programs that ntegrate two components 1) an NRSA predoctoral training program and 2) a Short-Term Research! Education Program, which will include a non-NRSA predoctoral training program. There have been great advances in in vivo imaging techniques, which allow neuroscientists to visualize molecular, cellular and system physiology and functions. To fully utilize neuroimaging techniques, it is important to understand underlying principles, data detection, and data modeling and visualization. Furthermore, each technique has ts own strengths and limitations. In order to overcome the weakness of one neuroimaging modality, it is absolutely essential to utilize complementary imaging modalities. Often, researchers may not utilize advanced neuroimaging technologies due to the lack of proper training in these methodologies, therefore, it s crucial to train students the principles and limitations of multiple neuroimaging modalities. In order to achieve this goal, we propose to create the Multimodal Neuroimaging Training Program (T90/R90) for pre- doctoral and short-term summer students, which will be jointly run by the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University. This program will be administered by the Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition (CNBC), which seamlessly spans both institutes and is a coordinated interdisciplinary research and educational Center of international stature. Specific aims of the predoctoral training program are to 1) teach basic neuroscience for integrative neuroimaging research; 2) to teach underlying principles, modeling, and applications of structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), functional MRI, positron emission tomography, magnetoencephalography, and optical imaging from animals to humans; and 3) to integrate multiple methods and carry out multimodal neuroimaging projects. To achieve the specific aims, trainees will take core courses and laboratory rotations, seminars and participate in an annual retreat. In addition to the graduate T90/R90 training program, the short-term Multimodal Neuroimaging Summer School (R90) is proposed to teach the synergy of multi-modal neuroimaging for targeted students and investigators who have experience in one imaging modality and want to expand their training to other modalities. The summer program will consist of basic lectures, hand-on laboratory workshop, and performing projects, emphasizing the methodologies of multiple imaging modalities. Our proposed programwill train researchersfor adequate handling of the increasing complexity of combining multimodal neuroimaging data with the knowledge of various data acquisition and processing approaches, and appropriate interpretations. This will speed up the synergetic application of multiple imaging modalities to basic and clinical neuroscience research in animals and humans. All training faculty have an exceptional track record of effective interdisciplinary training and cooperative research.The materials developed in this Training Program will be distributed through the web.

_ 这项研究的目标是开发新颖的跨学科培训项目， 整合两个部分：1) NRSA 博士前培训计划和 2) 短期研究！ 教育计划，其中包括非 NRSA 博士前培训计划。曾经有过伟大的 体内成像技术的进步使神经科学家能够可视化分子、细胞和 系统生理学和功能。为了充分利用神经影像技术，重要的是要了解 基本原理、数据检测、数据建模和可视化。此外，每种技术都有 其自身的优势和局限性。为了克服一种神经影像学方式的弱点， 利用互补成像方式绝对必要。通常，研究人员可能不会利用 先进的神经影像技术由于缺乏对这些方法的适当培训，因此， 培训学生多种神经影像学模式的原理和局限性至关重要。为了 为了实现这一目标，我们建议为预科人员创建多模态神经影像培训计划（T90/R90） 博士生和短期暑期学生，将由匹兹堡大学和 卡内基梅隆大学。该计划将由神经基础中心管理 Cognition (CNBC)，无缝跨越两个机构，是一项协调的跨学科研究 和国际地位的教育中心。博士前培训计划的具体目标是：1) 教授综合神经影像研究的基础神经科学； 2）教授基本原理、建模、 结构磁共振成像（MRI）、功能磁共振成像、正电子发射及其应用 从动物到人类的断层扫描、脑磁图和光学成像； 3）整合 多种方法并开展多模式神经影像项目。为实现特定目标，学员将 参加核心课程和实验室轮转、研讨会并参加年度静修会。除了 研究生T90/R90培训项目，短期多模态神经影像暑期学校（R90） 提议为目标学生和研究人员教授多模式神经影像的协同作用 拥有一种成像方式的经验，并希望将培训扩展到其他方式。夏天 课程将包括基础讲座、实验室实践研讨会和表演项目，强调 多种成像模式的方法。我们提出的计划将培训研究人员 处理将多模态神经影像数据与知识相结合日益增加的复杂性 各种数据采集和处理方法以及适当的解释。这将加快 多种成像模式在动物基础和临床神经科学研究中的协同应用 和人类。所有培训教师都拥有有效的跨学科培训的卓越记录 合作研究。本培训计划中开发的材料将通过网络分发。
