DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal requests funds for a pre-doctoral training program in disease oriented basic neuroscience with an emphasis on aging and age-related neurological disorders. We are requesting support for five pre-doctoral trainees. The program is designed to offer PhD students rigorous and specialized training in the neurobiology of aging and age-related neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease and stroke. The Graduate Program in Neuroscience at Rush University Medical Center is one of the few programs in the country that offers training in disease oriented basic neuroscience; it is housed in the Department of Neurological Sciences, a department where a large number of basic scientists and clinicians work very closely together on translational research. Preceptors for the proposed pre-doctoral training program include 11 basic scientists with well funded research programs and a long-standing commitment to aging research; their expertise ranges all the way from molecular and structural biology to electrophysiology, imaging and behavior. Additional teaching faculty include other basic scientists and clinicians in the Department of Neurological Sciences, as well as members of other divisions within the Graduate College of Rush University Medical Center.

描述(由申请者提供)：本提案要求为以疾病为导向的基础神经科学的博士前培训计划提供资金，重点是衰老和与年龄相关的神经疾病。我们请求为五名博士前实习生提供支持。该项目旨在为博士生提供关于衰老和与年龄相关的神经退行性疾病(如阿尔茨海默病、帕金森病、亨廷顿病和中风)的神经生物学方面的严格和专门的培训。拉什大学医学中心的神经科学研究生项目是美国为数不多的提供以疾病为导向的基础神经科学培训的项目之一；它设在神经科学系，在这个系里，大量基础科学家和临床医生在翻译研究方面密切合作。拟议的博士前培训项目的导师包括11名基础科学家，他们拥有充足的研究项目，并长期致力于衰老研究；他们的专业知识范围从分子和结构生物学到电生理学、成像和行为。其他教学人员包括神经科学系的其他基础科学家和临床医生，以及拉什大学医学中心研究生院其他部门的成员。
