DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a revised application for a jointly sponsored Ruth L. Kirchstein Institutional Predoctoral Training Program grant from 40 neuroscientists across 11 academic departments at the University of California, Davis. The goal of the program is to provide a broad training in the fundamental principles of neuroscience for entering students that will lay solid foundations for their specialized research in advanced years and provide them with the broad perspective essential for their establishing successful independent research programs in neuroscience in their future careers. The program will operate under the auspices of the existing interdepartmental graduate program in neuroscience at UC Davis which offers the scope and flexibility needed to meet our training objectives. The Training Program requests support for 6 predoctoral trainees to be selected annually by an Advisory Committee. Trainees will receive one year of support from the grant, typically in their first year. Internal support mechanisms and other extramural grants, that will be meshed with this program, will be used for support of the remaining -3-4 years of advanced training. Trainees will participate in a teaching program especially designed to give exposure to as broad a range of modern neuroscience subdisciplines and technologies as possible including cellular and molecular neuroscinece, neuroanatomy and neurophysiology, neurogenetics, systems neuroscience, cognitive neuroscience, computational neuronscience and modeling, the neurobiology of disease, and central neural mechanisms of behavior. Trainees will receive a rigorous basic training through formal course work, seminars and laboratory rotations and will participate in colloquia in which they will be expected regularly to make oral presentations. Students will thus be well-prepared for their dissertation research and for future, independent careers in basic and disease-related neuroscience research.

描述（由申请人提供）：这是一个共同赞助的露丝L。Kirchstein机构博士前培训计划获得了来自加州大学戴维斯分校11个学术系的40名神经科学家的资助。该计划的目标是为进入学生提供神经科学基本原理的广泛培训，为他们在晚年的专业研究奠定坚实的基础，并为他们提供在未来职业生涯中建立成功的神经科学独立研究计划所必需的广阔视角。该计划将在加州大学戴维斯分校神经科学现有跨部门研究生课程的主持下运作，该课程提供了满足我们培训目标所需的范围和灵活性。 培训计划要求支持6名博士前学员每年由咨询委员会选出。受训人员将获得一年的赠款支持，通常是在第一年。内部支持机制和其他校外赠款将与该计划相结合，将用于支持剩余的3 - 4年的高级培训。受训者将参加一个教学计划，该计划特别设计用于接触尽可能广泛的现代神经科学子学科和技术，包括细胞和分子神经生物学，神经解剖学和神经生理学，神经遗传学，系统神经科学，认知神经科学，计算神经科学和建模，疾病的神经生物学和行为的中枢神经机制。 受训人员将通过正式的课程工作、研讨会和实验室轮换接受严格的基本培训，并将参加座谈会，在座谈会上他们将定期作口头报告。因此，学生将为他们的论文研究和未来的基础和疾病相关的神经科学研究的独立职业做好充分的准备。
