Translational Neuroscience Postdoctoral Training Program

描述（由申请人提供）：此修订后的申请要求支持转化神经科学研究的培训计划。转化研究是将通过基础科学探究产生的想法，见解和发现应用于治疗或预防人类疾病的过程。该计划的主要目标是吸引和培养有兴趣学习基本神经科学技术的有才华和有动力的个人，这将使他们能够进行对神经疾病预防，修改或治愈产生重大影响的研究。该计划将支持培养博士后研究员（医学博士，医学博士/博士或D. O）在一个基础广泛的跨学科研究培训计划。理想的候选人将是接受过神经病学，神经外科或精神病学临床培训的人，并希望投入两年的转化神经科学研究的强化培训。培训计划将在达特茅斯神经科学中心（NCD）内进行，这是一个新的独特的跨学科小组，其使命是促进神经科学教育的协作和互动研究。NCD教师的愿景是产生和传播新知识，并在此过程中培养下一代神经科学家。博士后研究员将在教师赞助商的指导下从事研究，并通过NCD和达特茅斯医学院组织的会议，研讨会和神经科学课程与其他教师和研究员进行定期互动，扩大他们的研究经验。此外，该项目的教师和学员与达特茅斯其他国家卫生研究院赞助的培训项目的教师和学生密切互动。虽然这是一个新成立的神经科学中心的新申请的重新提交，但参与该计划的NCD的个人成员都在研究，教学和指导博士前和博士后学生方面有着良好的记录。临床和基础科学教师之间的密切关系，教师的活力，以及达特茅斯的学术环境，使它极有可能这将是一个成功的计划。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This revised application requests support for a training program in translational neuroscience research. Translational research is the process of applying ideas, insights, and discoveries generated through basic scientific inquiry to the treatment or prevention of human disease. The major goal of the program is to attract and train talented and motivated individuals interested in learning basic neuroscience techniques that will allow them to conduct research that will have a major impact on neurological disease prevention, modification, or cure. The program will support training post-doctoral fellows (M.D., M.D./Ph.D. or D.O) in a broadly based interdisciplinary research training program. The ideal candidate will be one who has received clinical training in neurology, neurosurgery, or psychiatry and wishes to devote two years to intense training in translational neuroscience research. The training program will occur within the Neuroscience Center at Dartmouth (NCD), a new and unique interdisciplinary group whose mission is to foster collaborative and interactive research in education in the neurosciences. It is the vision of the NCD faculty to produce and disseminate new knowledge and, in doing so, train the next generation of neuroscientists. Post-doctoral fellows will be engaged in research under the tutelage of a faculty sponsor and will have their research experience broadened by regular interactions with other faculty and fellows through conferences, seminars, and courses in neuroscience organized by the NCD and Dartmouth Medical School. In addition, the program faculty and trainees interact closely with faculty and students in other NIH- sponsored training programs at Dartmouth. While this is a resubmission of a new application for a newly created neuroscience center, individual members of the NCD participating in this program all have strong records in research, teaching, and mentoring of pre-doctoral and post-doctoral students. The close relationship between the clinical and basic science faculty, the vigor of the faculty, and the academic environment at Dartmouth makes it highly likely this will be a successful program.
