DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this training program is to encourage medical students of the University of Texas, Houston to pursue research in Neuroscience. The PI will oversee recruitment and selection of trainees and then monitor their progress. During the summer following their first year, students will participate in a Summer Research Program, which has been supported by NIH since 1985 and is directed by the Co-Pi. The key personnel are the Pi's of NINDS grants and investigators supported by other agencies who do research that supports the NINDS mission. In the spring of their first year, students select mentors, who suggest research topics and help prepare a proposal describing the project, which may be clinical, translational or basic research that supports the mission of the NINDS. The proposals are then evaluated by a Faculty Advisory Committee, and stipends are awarded based on the quality of the proposals. The program begins with mandatory workshops in laboratory safety, bioethics and the responsible conduct of research, regulations related to the use of human subjects in research, and the proper use and care of experimental animals. Each week, trainees are also required to attend research seminars and enrichment sessions describing career options. The major activity is full-time research for 10 weeks with guidance from the mentors. In addition to the space and equipment available in the laboratories of the mentors, there are many core facilities available to support student research. Trainees are invited to attend grand rounds in neurology, pediatric neurology and neurosurgery and encouraged to attend research seminars in basic neuroscience. Trainees prepare an abstract and a poster summarizing their results and present them during the fall of their second year. Some also present their results at national meetings and co-author publications. Students who wish to continue their research training are encouraged to select research as an elective, to take a year off from medical school or to apply for admission to the M.D./Ph.D. program.

描述(由申请人提供)： 该培训计划的目标是鼓励德克萨斯大学休斯顿分校的医学生从事神经科学方面的研究。PI将监督受训人员的招募和挑选，然后监测他们的进展。在第一年的暑假期间，学生们将参加一个暑期研究项目，该项目自1985年以来一直由美国国立卫生研究院资助，并由联合PI指导。关键人员是NINDS赠款的PI和其他机构支持的调查人员，这些机构从事支持NINDS任务的研究。在第一年的春季，学生们选择导师，他们建议研究主题并帮助准备一份描述该项目的提案，该项目可能是支持NINDS使命的临床、翻译或基础研究。然后，学院咨询委员会对这些建议进行评估，并根据建议的质量发放津贴。该计划从实验室安全、生物伦理和负责任的研究行为、与在研究中使用人类受试者有关的规定以及实验动物的正确使用和护理等方面开始。每周，学员还被要求参加描述职业选择的研究研讨会和充实课程。主要活动是在导师的指导下进行为期10周的全职研究。除了导师实验室提供的空间和设备外，还有许多核心设施可用于支持学生的研究。学员被邀请参加神经学、儿科神经学和神经外科的盛大培训，并被鼓励参加基础神经科学的研究研讨会。受训者准备一份摘要和一张海报，总结他们的结果，并在第二年的秋季提交。有些国家还在国家会议和合著者出版物上介绍了他们的成果。希望继续他们的研究培训的学生被鼓励选择研究作为选修课，从医学院休学一年，或者申请进入医学博士项目。
