DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Educational Program in Translational Sleep and Mental Health Research (abbreviated as SLEUTH; Sleep EdUcational research in Translational mental Health) constitute annual meetings that are designed to provide advanced training in basic and clinical sleep research for predoctoral and postdoctoral students. The objective of the SLEUTH Programs is to assure that interdisciplinary instruction is available for students in order to establish a coterie of outstanding young scientists who are able to generate new important information regarding the fundamental properties of the sleeping brain, especially in relation to mental health. To achieve this objective, the SLEUTH Programs will capitalize on the combined strengths of a distinguished faculty. Under the auspices of the SLEUTH Programs, the faculty, from the sleep field and related disciplines, will pool their resources and provide instruction in molecular, cellular, systems and behavioral aspects of basic and clinical sleep research as well as train young investigators in translational research. A priority will be placed on providing guidance in sleep research that advances the objectives of the NIMH Strategic Plan. In addition, the directives detailed in the 2008 Report of the National Advising Mental Health Council Workgroup on Research Training, "Investing in the Future," will be incorporated into the selection of students and the activities of the SLEUTH Programs. Innovative programs that stress concepts and problem-solving in creative formats will, as in the past, be hallmarks of the SLEUTH Programs. In addition, the SLEUTH Programs will focus on new areas that have the potential for use by the students, such as functional genomics, non-linear mathematics and neuroinformatics. The SLEUTH Programs will also include special activities dealing with ethics and grantsmanship; a wide range of instruction will, in addition, encompass methodologies and data not only from the field of sleep but also from related disciplines. An emphasis will be placed on training in all areas of neuroscience, and at all stages of the life cycle, ranging from infancy to old age, with an emphasis in relating sleep to problems of mental health. We believe that the SLEUTH Programs are critically important insofar as they are the only continuing program in the nation (or world) specifically designed to provide instruction for predoctoral and postdoctoral students in basic, clinical and translational sleep and mental health research. A vast array of resources that will be available to the students; thus, the SLEUTH Programs will function as a "University Without Walls;" by providing multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary instruction for students including minorities and disadvantaged individuals. In accord with the directives of NIMH, an emphasis will also be placed on including individuals from diverse backgrounds, physician-scientists and international scholars.

描述（由申请人提供）：转化睡眠和心理健康研究教育计划（缩写为 SLEUTH；转化心理健康睡眠教育研究）每年举行一次会议，旨在为博士前和博士后学生提供基础和临床睡眠研究的高级培训。 SLEUTH 项目的目标是确保学生能够接受跨学科教学，以建立一个由杰出的年轻科学家组成的小组，他们能够产生有关睡眠大脑基本特性的新的重要信息，特别是与心理健康相关的信息。为了实现这一目标，SLEUTH 项目将利用杰出教师的综合优势。在 SLEUTH 项目的支持下，来自睡眠领域和相关学科的教师将汇集资源，提供基础和临床睡眠研究的分子、细胞、系统和行为方面的指导，并培训转化研究的年轻研究人员。将优先考虑为睡眠研究提供指导，以推进 NIMH 战略计划的目标。此外，国家心理健康咨询委员会2008年研究培训工作组报告“投资未来”中详细说明的指令将被纳入学生的选拔和SLEUTH项目的活动中。 与过去一样，强调概念和以创意形式解决问题的创新项目将成为 SLEUTH 项目的标志。此外，SLEUTH 项目将重点关注学生有潜力使用的新领域，例如功能基因组学、非线性数学和神经信息学。 SLEUTH 计划还将包括涉及道德和资助的特殊活动；此外，广泛的教学将不仅涵盖睡眠领域的方法和数据，还涵盖相关学科的方法和数据。将重点放在神经科学所有领域以及生命周期各个阶段（从婴儿期到老年）的培训，重点是将睡眠与心理健康问题联系起来。 我们认为，SLEUTH 项目至关重要，因为它们是全国（或世界）唯一专门为博士前和博士后学生提供基础、临床和转化睡眠和心理健康研究指导的持续项目。学生可以使用的大量资源；因此，SLEUTH 项目将发挥“没有围墙的大学”的作用；为包括少数族裔和弱势群体在内的学生提供多学科和跨学科的指导。根据 NIMH 的指示，还将重点关注来自不同背景的个人、医师科学家和国际学者。
