Project Summary/Abstract The current proposal describes an advanced predoctoral training program focused on molecular, cellular, and translational neuroscience. The training program’s goals are focused on (a) achieving a high-quality education in the fundamental principles and techniques that will prepare trainees for the intensely collaborative and interdisciplinary nature of modern neuroscience research; (b) generating in-depth and state-of-the-art laboratory research opportunities in the focus area, and (c) training in the necessary professional skills often overlooked during graduate education, including critical reading, grant writing, oral presentation, leadership, management, and networking. We will achieve these goals through a combination of advanced coursework, workshops, small group discussions, weekly seminars, trainee presentations, and structured (as well as more informal) meetings with program faculty. A well-thought out mentoring program will aid trainees’ progress in the program and prepare the participants for their future careers in science. Neuroscience predoctoral trainees at NYU become an integral part of their research labs as well as the expansive neuroscience community at NYU, especially because the proposed training program brings together 30 faculty trainers from across NYU’s major campuses. Although historically two related neuroscience graduate programs co-existed at NYU, faculty from both programs have taken several key steps to integrate their graduate training over the past 5-10 years. With substantial support from the University, we reached a new phase of program integration. The proposed training program will be instrumental in furthering the efforts to unify the extensive NYU neuroscience community, particularly those in the areas of molecular, cellular, and translational neuroscience, whose ranks have recently increased substantially thanks to aggressive faculty recruitment by the NYU Center for Neural Science and the new NYU Neuroscience Institute. This thriving community, and especially the selected training faculty, supports a substantial graduate student population. We seek funding for 4 predoctoral students in their 3rd year or higher within this cohort; each will be appointed for 1 to 2 years, just prior to when we anticipate they will transition to independent funding. This size will provide a critical mass of trainees so as to firmly establish this training program within the context of the larger combined neuroscience graduate programs at NYU. Through our newly integrated graduate program, we provide trainees with a vast and rich intellectual environment and the resources and experience to confidently pursue their own scientific interests, which we hope will lead to future breakthroughs in basic neuroscience and the underlying mechanisms of neurological diseases.

项目总结/摘要 目前的建议描述了一个先进的博士前培训计划，重点是分子，细胞， 转化神经科学培训计划的目标集中在（a）实现高质量的教育 在基本原则和技术，将准备学员的密切合作， 现代神经科学研究的跨学科性质;（B）产生深入和最先进的 重点领域的实验室研究机会，以及（c）必要的专业技能培训， 在研究生教育中被忽视的内容，包括批判性阅读、助学金写作、口头报告、领导力， 管理和网络。我们将通过先进的课程结合实现这些目标， 研讨会、小组讨论、每周研讨会、学员演示和结构化（以及更多 非正式）会议与程序教员。一个经过深思熟虑的指导计划将有助于学员在 计划并为参与者未来的科学职业做好准备。神经科学博士前实习生， 纽约大学成为他们的研究实验室以及纽约大学广阔的神经科学社区的一个组成部分， 特别是因为拟议中的培训计划汇集了来自纽约大学各专业的30名教员培训师 校园。虽然历史上两个相关的神经科学研究生课程共存于纽约大学，教师从 在过去的5-10年里，这两个方案都采取了几个关键步骤来整合其研究生培训。与 在大学的大力支持下，我们进入了一个新的项目整合阶段。拟议的培训 该计划将有助于进一步努力统一广泛的纽约大学神经科学界， 特别是那些在分子，细胞和转化神经科学领域的人，他们的队伍最近 由于纽约大学神经科学中心积极招聘教师， 新的纽约大学神经科学研究所。这个蓬勃发展的社区，特别是选定的培训教师， 支持大量的研究生人口。我们寻求资助4博士前学生在他们的第三年 或更高，每个人都将被任命为1至2年，就在我们预计他们将 向独立融资过渡。这一规模将提供足够数量的受训人员，以牢固地确立这一点。 在纽约大学更大的联合神经科学研究生课程的背景下，通过 我们新整合的研究生课程，我们为学员提供广阔而丰富的智力环境， 资源和经验，自信地追求自己的科学利益，我们希望这将导致 未来在基础神经科学和神经疾病的潜在机制方面的突破。
