DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of the Kansas University Training Program in Neurological and Rehabilitation Sciences is to provide predoctoral interdisciplinary training in translational research in basic and clinical aspects of neuroscience, especially as it applies to neurological conditions amenable to rehabilitative treatments. The interdisciplinary nature of this program is unique in that basic science trainees will have the opportunity to participate in clinical aspects of neurological disorders, and clinical trainees will be provided with valuable basic scientific insights and technical experience in neurobiological mechanisms. The program derives expertise from both basic and clinical research to cross-fertilize research experiences of the individual trainees. Didactic training will include core curricula for predoctoral students in the Interdisciplinary Graduate Program in Biomedical Science, the Graduate Programs in Neuroscience or the Graduate Program in Rehabilitation Science, providing a firm groundwork for understanding basic genetic, molecular and cellular mechanisms. Short-term, summer training experiences will be offered to medical and allied health students, providing experience with the complex interdisciplinary models that will be necessary for the next generation of therapeutic approaches in neurorehabilitation. The faculty includes 23 basic and clinical mentors, and an additional 19 teaching faculty who are located within 10 Departments and two Schools of the Kansas University Medical Center. The strength of this group is the expertise and caliber of research faculty, the outstanding research infrastructure, the focus on translating basic neuroscientific principles to bear on neurological conditions, and the desire of both scientists and clinicians to collaborate in the interdisciplinary training of students. Laboratory research and apprenticeships, courses, seminars, guest lectures, journal clubs, data sessions, and poster presentations will be utilized to ensure frequent interaction of the trainees and faculty. The recruitment and selection of trainees will be coordinated through an Internal Advisory Committee, with input from all participating faculty. In addition, the program will be monitored by an External Advisory Committee, composed of national leaders in graduate training in neuroscience and rehabilitation science. Complex medical conditions such as those that result from brain injury require a new approach to understanding and treating patients based on interdisciplinary workgroups of scientists and clinicians. This program will train young scientists to work in research teams that address the basic mechanisms of brain recovery and repair in the context of real-world relevance and feasibility.

描述（由申请人提供）：堪萨斯大学神经和康复科学培训计划的目标是提供神经科学基础和临床方面的转化研究的博士前跨学科培训，特别是当它适用于康复治疗的神经系统疾病时。该计划的跨学科性质是独特的，基础科学学员将有机会参与神经系统疾病的临床方面，临床学员将获得宝贵的基础科学见解和神经生物学机制的技术经验。该计划从基础研究和临床研究中汲取专业知识，以交叉施肥每位学员的研究经验。教学训练将包括生物医学跨学科研究生课程、神经科学研究生课程或康复科学研究生课程的博士预科学生的核心课程，为理解基本的遗传、分子和细胞机制提供坚实的基础。短期，夏季培训经验将提供给医学和相关卫生专业的学生，提供复杂的跨学科模式的经验，这将是下一代神经康复治疗方法所必需的。教职员工包括23名基础和临床导师，另外还有19名教职员工，他们分布在堪萨斯大学医学中心的10个部门和2个学院。该组的优势在于研究人员的专业知识和水平，卓越的研究基础设施，将基本神经科学原理转化为神经系统疾病的重点，以及科学家和临床医生在学生跨学科培训中合作的愿望。实验室研究和学徒、课程、研讨会、客座讲座、期刊俱乐部、数据会议和海报展示将被用来确保学员和教师的频繁互动。受训者的征聘和选拔将通过一个内部咨询委员会进行协调，并得到所有参与的教员的投入。此外，该计划将由外部咨询委员会监督，该委员会由神经科学和康复科学研究生培训方面的国家领导人组成。
