DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a unique and highly valuable interdisciplinary training program from two strong institutions (Cornell University and Weill Cornell Medical College) with a superbly skilled set of productive faculty, focused on complex and scientifically significant public health issues. The program links basic principles of learning and development with clinical questions to train individuals in a new emerging discipline of translational developmental neuroscience. Students will begin their fundamental training on the Ithaca campus and continue at Weill Cornell with joint courses, summer rotations, mentorship, two annual meetings and video teleconferenced seminars to integrate their graduate experience throughout the training. Training will be open to graduate students as well as medical students, undergraduates, residents and post doctoral fellows and will include a wide variety of scientific disciplines, including pharmacology, neuroanatomy, electrophysiology, imaging, genomic and transgenic approaches within animal models and specific clinical populations. Theses will be mentored jointly by faculty members at each campus and targeted by the student at the end of the second year. These trainees will emerge with exceptional training in both how to choose and design research questions and how to apply this skill in clinical settings with the most current and powerful techniques, thus concentrating their training directly on translational research. Neurodevelopmental disorders targeted include autism, affective and mood disorders, ADHD, dyslexia and learning impairments caused by environmental and genetic factors. Students trained in this program will use the most current imaging and genomic techniques. They will thus possess the training and tools of the best of basic and clinical research together. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The program links basic principles of learning and development with clinical questions to train individuals in a new emerging discipline of translational developmental neuroscience. This training in designing research questions and applying this skill in clinical settings to neurodevelopmental disorders and with the most current and powerful techniques will produce a new generation of translational researchers.

描述（由申请人提供）：这是一个独特且非常有价值的跨学科培训项目，来自两个实力雄厚的机构（康奈尔大学和威尔康奈尔医学院），拥有一批技术精湛、富有成效的教师队伍，专注于复杂且具有科学意义的公共卫生问题。该计划将学习和发展的基本原则与临床问题联系起来，以培训个人进入转化发展神经科学这一新兴学科。学生将在伊萨卡校区开始基础培训，然后在威尔康奈尔大学继续接受联合课程、夏季轮换、指导、两次年会和视频电话会议研讨会，以将他们的毕业生经验融入到整个培训过程中。培训将向研究生以及医学生、本科生、住院医生和博士后开放，并将涵盖各种科学学科，包括药理学、神经解剖学、电生理学、成像、动物模型和特定临床人群中的基因组和转基因方法。论文将由每个校区的教师共同指导，并在第二年年底由学生确定目标。这些学员将在如何选择和设计研究问题以及如何利用最新、最强大的技术将这项技能应用于临床环境方面接受特殊培训，从而将他们的培训直接集中在转化研究上。目标神经发育障碍包括自闭症、情感和情绪障碍、多动症、阅读障碍以及环境和遗传因素引起的学习障碍。接受该计划培训的学生将使用最新的成像和基因组技术。因此，他们将共同拥有最好的基础和临床研究的培训和工具。 公共健康相关性：该计划将学习和发展的基本原则与临床问题联系起来，以培训转化发展神经科学这一新兴学科的个人。这种设计研究问题并将这种技能应用于临床环境中神经发育障碍的培训以及最新、最强大的技术将产生新一代的转化研究人员。
