The long-standing Neuroscience Training Program (NTP) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison provides pre- doctoral graduate training in neuroscience. The overall goal of the program is to train the next generation of leading integrative neuroscientists for future careers in academic research, education, industry, and public service. Students engage in research training with faculty whose research interests span the breadth of modern neuroscience. Students receive training in a broad range of neuroscience areas, including behavior, cognition and emotion; development, plasticity and repair; membrane excitability and synaptic transmission; molecular neuroscience; neural circuits; neurobiology of disease; perception and movement. Our proposed training program includes a combination of hands-on research work, coursework, and our unique seminar course. Training in experimental design, statistical methodology and quantitative skills will be integrated into coursework and seminar subgroups, and will occur throughout student training. The 79 members of the training faculty draw from 23 departments across campus and bring an array of scientific interests and state of the art methodologies to student training, ranging from molecular genetics to whole brain imaging. The NTP's goal is to train students with intellectual breadth necessary for them to become leaders in the field and make contributions and advances to biomedical research in neuroscience. Our program has been very successful in achieving its training goals. The median time to complete the Ph.D. degree has been 5.0 years over the past 10 years, and 94% of our graduates have remained in research-related careers. We anticipate appointing 12 trainees per year, with half of those appointments made to students in their first year and half to students in the second year of Ph.D. training. Selection of trainees will be based principally upon prior research accomplishments and demonstrated potential for an independent research career. Graduates will be well equipped to carry out research aimed at understanding fundamental neurobiological processes and mechanisms underlying diseases and disorders of the nervous system, and to help train the next generation of physicians and scientists.

威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校长期存在的神经科学培训计划 (NTP) 提供预科培训 神经科学博士研究生培训。该计划的总体目标是培养下一代 领先的综合神经科学家未来在学术研究、教育、工业和公共领域的职业生涯 服务。学生与研究兴趣广泛的教师一起接受研究培训 现代神经科学。学生接受广泛的神经科学领域的培训，包括行为、 认知和情感；发育、可塑性和修复；膜兴奋性和突触传递； 分子神经科学；神经回路；疾病的神经生物学；感知和运动。我们提出的 培训计划包括实践研究工作、课程作业和我们独特的研讨会 课程。实验设计、统计方法和定量技能的培训将纳入 课程作业和研讨会小组，并将在整个学生培训过程中进行。参加培训的79名成员 教师来自校园内 23 个系，带来了一系列科学兴趣和最先进的技术 学生培训的方法论，从分子遗传学到全脑成像。 NTP 的目标是 培养学生成为该领域的领导者所需的知识广度并做出贡献 对神经科学生物医学研究的贡献和进步。我们的计划非常成功 实现其培训目标。完成博士学位的中位时间学位已过去 5.0 年 10年来，我们94%的毕业生仍然从事与研究相关的职业。我们预计任命 12 每年都有受训者，其中一半是第一年的学生，一半是第二年的学生 博士第二年训练。实习生的选择将主要基于先前的研究 成就并表现出独立研究生涯的潜力。毕业生会很好 具备开展旨在了解基本神经生物学过程的研究的能力 神经系统疾病和紊乱的机制，并帮助培训下一代 医生和科学家。
