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、见解和发现应用于人类疾病的治疗或预防的过程。该计划的主要目标是吸引和培养对学习基础神经科学技术感兴趣的有才能和有动力的个人，这些技术将使他们能够进行对神经系统疾病的预防、修改或治疗产生重大影响的研究。该项目将支持培养博士后（医学博士、医学博士/博士）。或D.O)在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训练的人，并希望在转化神经科学研究方面进行两年的强化训练。该培训项目将在达特茅斯神经科学中心（NCD）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领域的合作和互动研究。非传染性疾病学院的愿景是创造和传播新知识，并在此过程中培养下一代神经科学家。博士后研究员将在学院赞助人的指导下进行研究，并通过NCD和达特茅斯医学院组织的神经科学会议、研讨会和课程，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NIH资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重新申请，但参与这个项目的NCD的个人成员在研究、教学和指导博士预科和博士后学生方面都有很强的记录。临床和基础科学教员之间的密切关系、教员的活力和达特茅斯的学术环境使这个项目极有可能成功。

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.
