Training for Integrative Neuroscience in Health and Disease

描述（由申请人提供）：项目摘要：在健康和疾病的综合神经科学的培训计划旨在为前和博士后研究员提供基础广泛的培训。我们的目标是：1）培养对神经科学子领域有广泛理解和了解的神经科学家，2）为加入具有不同知识和/或实验专业知识的实验室的合作研究项目提供财政支持。该计划建立在医学和新泽西牙科大学和罗格斯大学在纽瓦克之间的5年联合计划。因此，受训人员将有机会使用这两所学校的设施，这两所学校相距不到5个街区，并有机会参加它们提供的基础科学和临床研讨会和课程。培训教师在神经科学，生物学和神经病学的各个方面都有专业知识。这两个机构正在进行的研究的广度将确保接触到多种实验方法和多位导师。此外，在整个计划中，不同子领域的研究人员有机会进行互动。虽然教师在成功的指导经验丰富，该计划将有顾问为前和博士后，以及学生和博士后代表，以确保高质量的监督，一个充实的培训经验，并成功的职业发展。博士后工作办公室将加强博士后培养。我们正在请求每年支持2名博士前研究员和2名博士后研究员在第1年和第3年之后。每名受训人员将获得2年的支助，在此期间，他们将获得协助，申请研究金或其他赠款支助。出席和研究会议，在教学活动的参与，出版物和同行和同事的支持提交演示将大力和积极鼓励。相关性：这笔赠款将培训神经科学家，他们将研究神经系统疾病的整个范围，包括退化，药物成瘾，肥胖，癫痫，疼痛和语言和学习障碍。它促进了从行为到分子神经生物学的神经科学所有领域之间的互动，以刺激创新和治疗突破。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Project Summary: The training program in Integrative Neuroscience in Health and Disease is designed to provide broad-based training for both pre- and postdoctoral fellows. Our goals are to 1) train neuroscientists who have a broad understanding and acquaintance with the sub-fields of neuroscience and 2) provide financial support to collaborative research projects that join laboratories with differing intellectual and/or experimental expertise. The program builds upon a 5 year joint program between the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey and Rutgers University in Newark. Trainees, therefore, will have access to the facilities of both schools, which lie within 5 blocks of one another, and the basic science and clinical seminars and courses which they offer. The training faculty has expertise in all aspects of neuroscience, biology, and neurology. The breadth of the research ongoing in the two institutions will ensure exposure to multiple experimental approaches and multiple mentors. Additionally, there are intentional opportunities throughout the program for researchers in different sub-fields to interact. Although the faculty is experienced in successful mentoring, the program will have advisors for both pre- and post-doctorates, as well as student and postdoctoral representatives to ensure a high quality of supervision, a fulfilling training experience, and successful career advancement. Postdoctoral training will be enhanced by the Office of Postdoctoral Affairs. We are requesting support for 2 pre-doctoral fellows each year and 2 postdoctoral fellows in year 1 and 3 in each year thereafter. Each trainee will be supported for 2 years during which time they will be assisted in applying for fellowships or other grant support. Attendance and presentation at research meetings, participation in teaching activities, submission of publications and support of peers and colleagues will be strongly and actively encouraged. Relevance: This grant will train neuroscientists who will work on the entire breadth of neurological disease including degenerations, drug addiction, obesity, epilepsy, pain and language and learning disorders. It promotes interaction among all the fields of neuroscience from behavior to molecular neurobiology to stimulate innovative and therapeutic breakthroughs.
