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在神经科学的基本和临床方面的转化研究中提供跨学科的跨学科培训，尤其是适用于可用于康复治疗的神经系统条件。该计划的跨学科性质是独一无二的，因为基础科学学员将有机会参与神经系统疾病的临床方面，并且将为临床学员提供有价值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获得了专业知识，以交叉利用各个学员的研究经验。教学培训将包括生物医学跨学科研究生课程，神经科学的研究生课程或康复科学研究生课程的核心课程，为理解基本遗传，分子和细胞机制提供了坚定的基础。短期的夏季培训经验将为医学和盟友健康学生提供，提供复杂的跨学科模型的经验，这对于下一代神经居住方法是必要的。该教师包括23位基本和临床指导者，还有另外19位教学学院，他们位于堪萨斯大学医学中心的10个部门和两所学校内。该小组的优势是研究学院的专业知识和才能，杰出的研究基础设施，重点是翻译基本的神经科学原理，以遵守神经系统状况，以及科学家和临床医生在学生跨学科培训中的渴望。实验室研究和学徒制，课程，研讨会，嘉宾讲座，期刊俱乐部，数据会议和海报演示将被用来确保受训者和教职员工的频繁互动。招聘和选择的学员将通过内部咨询委员会协调，并由所有参与教师的意见。此外，该计划将由外部咨询委员会监视，该咨询委员会由全国性的神经科学和康复科学研究生培训领导者组成。 诸如脑损伤导致的复杂医疗状况需要一种新的方法来理解和根据科学家和临床医生的跨学科工作组来治疗患者。该计划将培训年轻科学家在研究团队中工作，以解决现实世界中的相关性和可行性的基本机制。
