PROJECT SUMMARY This is the second renewal of Mount Sinai's Jointly Sponsored Institutional Predoctoral T32 Training Program in Neuroscience. The objective of the Training Program is to provide rigorous, broad-based, individualized and multidisciplinary training to Year 1 and 2 predoctoral students in basic, translational and clinical neuroscience research, thereby enhancing the ability of our trainees to acquire critical skillsets necessary for high-quality doctoral dissertation research and a productive and impactful career in the science- related workforce. To accomplish this, the Training Program leverages the intimate association between the Mount Sinai Hospital and Health System, the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and Mount Sinai's Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, physically embedded together under one leadership, to expose trainees to the enormous breadth of basic, translational and clinical scientific approaches and model systems represented by an outstanding training faculty, ranging from structure/function analysis of individual synapses, to computational modeling of gene, protein and connectivity networks in healthy and diseased brains, to behavioral, electrophysiological and imaging studies of a variety of organisms, including humans. Mount Sinai has undergone an enormous expansion in basic and clinical research infrastructure, neuroscience faculty recruitment and a 3-fold increase in applications to the Neuroscience PhD program. Thus, seven training slots per year are requested. Our trainees participate in an integrated program of Core courses (spanning genes, molecules, cells, synapses, circuits, systems, behaviors and brain pathophysiology) and includes a course with direct patient contact. Courses are team-taught by an exceptional faculty using different teaching styles, including flipped classrooms and other approaches. Additional first-year courses include Responsible Conduct in Research, Rigor and Reproducibiity, an intensive Biostatistics course (with a parallel lab in R-programming) a Journal Club/WIP and research rotations. By the end of the first year, trainees select a thesis lab, and during their second year, commence dissertation research while taking at least two Advanced Electives from a large number of courses offered across the Institution. This allows each trainee to customize their coursework to their particular research and training goal needs. Trainees in our program also benefit from numerous activities that enhance their research experience, including science theme-based Clubs, seminars, career development opportunities, teaching and peer-mentoring activities, an annual retreat and other cohesion-building events. This Neuroscience Training Program T32 is essential to Mount Sinai's mission of providing fundamental neuroscience research training to our students, and serves as the principal research training, mentoring and financial engine driving specifically early-stage predoctoral students seeking a PhD in Neuroscience.

项目摘要 这是西奈山的共同赞助的机构博士前T32培训的第二次更新 神经科学的程序。培训方案的目标是提供严格的、基础广泛的、 个性化和多学科的培训，以1年和2年的博士前学生在基础，翻译和 临床神经科学研究，从而提高我们的学员获得关键技能的能力 高质量的博士论文研究和科学的生产和有影响力的职业生涯所必需的- 相关劳动力。为了实现这一目标，培训计划利用了 西奈山医院和卫生系统，西奈山伊坎医学院和西奈山的 生物医学科学研究生院，在一个领导下，物理嵌入在一起，暴露 学员的基础，转化和临床科学方法和模型系统的巨大广度 以优秀的培训教师为代表，从单个突触的结构/功能分析， 到健康和患病大脑中基因、蛋白质和连接网络的计算建模， 包括人类在内的各种生物的行为、电生理和成像研究。西奈山 在基础和临床研究基础设施、神经科学系 神经科学博士课程的申请人数增加了3倍。因此，七个培训时段 每年都要求。我们的学员参加核心课程的综合计划（跨越基因， 分子，细胞，突触，电路，系统，行为和脑病理生理学），并包括一门课程， 直接接触患者。课程是由一个特殊的教师使用不同的教学风格， 包括翻转教室和其他方法。额外的第一年课程包括责任行为 在研究，严谨性和再现性，一个密集的生物统计学课程（与R编程的平行实验室） a期刊俱乐部/期刊和研究轮换。到第一年年底，学员选择论文实验室，并在 他们的第二年，开始论文研究，同时采取至少两个先进的选修课，从一个大的 整个机构提供的课程数量。这使得每个学员都可以定制他们的课程， 其特殊的研究和培训目标的需要。在我们的计划的学员也受益于众多的活动 增强他们的研究经验，包括科学主题俱乐部，研讨会，职业发展 机会，教学和同行辅导活动，年度务虚会和其他凝聚力建设活动。 这个神经科学培训计划T32是必不可少的西奈山的使命提供基本的 神经科学研究培训我们的学生，并作为主要的研究培训，指导和 金融引擎驱动，特别是早期阶段的博士预科学生寻求在神经科学博士学位。
