Training Workshops in Basic Sleep Research

描述(申请人提供)：基础睡眠研究中的睡眠培训工作坊(睡眠培训工作坊)由年度会议组成，旨在为博士后和博士后学员提供基础和临床睡眠研究方面的高级培训。睡眠培训讲习班的目的是确保为受训者提供跨学科的指导，以便建立一个杰出的年轻科学家小圈子，他们能够产生关于睡眠大脑基本特性的新的重要信息。为了实现这一目标，睡眠培训工作坊将利用一个杰出学院的综合优势。在睡眠培训工作坊的赞助下，该学院将集中资源，提供基础和临床睡眠研究的分子、细胞、系统和行为方面的指导，并培训年轻研究人员从事与临床相关的睡眠和与睡眠相关的研究领域的基础研究。根据NIH/NIMH路线图，将优先提供翻译研究方面的指导。此外，NIH神经科学研究蓝图中详细说明的指导方针将被纳入学员的教学框架。像过去一样，强调概念和以创造性形式解决问题的创新项目将成为睡眠培训研讨会的标志。此外，在睡眠培训讲习班上提供的培训的一个主要重点将集中在有潜力供受训人员使用的神经科学新领域，如功能基因组学、非线性数学和神经信息学。睡眠培训讲习班将包括涉及道德和恩赐精神的特别活动；此外，广泛的教学不仅包括睡眠领域的方法和数据，还包括心理健康、神经学、老龄、发育、心血管等相关学科的方法和数据。重点将放在神经科学的所有领域，从呼吸障碍到神经问题，以及生命周期的所有阶段，从婴儿期到老年。睡眠培训研讨会将为学员提供大量的资源，它将发挥“无墙大学”的作用；该研讨会将为来自美国各地的学员以及来自其他国家的一小部分杰出的年轻科学家提供多学科和跨学科的指导。我们认为，睡眠培训工作坊至关重要，因为它们是美国(或世界)唯一专门为博士后和博士后学员提供基础和临床睡眠研究指导的持续项目。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Sleep Training Workshops in Basic Sleep Research (Sleep Training Workshops) constitute annual meetings that are designed to provide advanced training in basic and clinical sleep research for predoctoral and postdoctoral Trainees. The objective of the Sleep Training Workshops is to assure that interdisciplinary instruction is available for Trainees in order to establish a coterie of outstanding young scientists who are able to generate new important information regarding the fundamental properties of the sleeping brain. To achieve this objective, the Sleep Training Workshops will capitalize on the combined strengths of a distinguished Faculty. Under the auspices of the Sleep Training Workshops, the Faculty will pool their resources and provide instruction in molecular, cellular, systems and behavioral aspects of basic and clinical sleep research as well as train young investigators in basic research dealing with clinically relevant areas of sleep and sleep- related research. A priority will be placed on providing guidance in translational research in accord with the NIH/NIMH Roadmap. In addition, the guidelines detailed in the NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience Research will be incorporated into the Trainee's framework for instruction. Innovative programs that stress concepts and problem-solving in creative formats will, as in the past, be hallmarks of the Sleep Training Workshops. In addition, a major emphasis of the training provided at the Sleep Training Workshops will focus on new areas in neuroscience that have the potential for use by the Trainees, such as functional genomics, non-linear mathematics and neuroinformatics. The Sleep Training Workshops will include special activities dealing with ethics and grantsmanship; a wide range of instruction will, in addition, encompass methodologies and data not only from the field of sleep but also from related disciplines such as mental health, neurology, aging, development, cardiovascular, etc. An emphasis will be placed on training in all areas of neuroscience, extending from breathing disorders to neurological problems, and at all stages of the life cycle, ranging from infancy to old age. A vast array of resources that will be available to the Trainees, the Sleep Training Workshops will function as a "University Without Walls;" the Workshop will provide multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary instruction for Trainees from throughout the United States as well as for a small complement of outstanding young scientists from other nations. We believe that the Sleep Training Workshops are critically important because they are the only continuing program in the nation (or world) specifically designed to provide instruction, for predoctoral and postdoctoral Trainees, in basic and clinical sleep research.
