Project Summary/Abstract. Continuing support of our training grant, ‘Early Stage Training in the Neurosciences’ (ESTN), which was founded at the University of Michigan (UM) in 2001, is requested. The goal of this grant, which is a centerpiece of the Neuroscience Graduate Program (NGP), is to provide a cadre of exceptional predoctoral students with broad training in neuroscience. This will prepare them for careers that will help to meet the nation’s basic science and biomedical research needs. A number of exciting new changes have occurred in the ESTN/NGP including a new leadership team, new state-of-the-art facilities and resources, a dynamic new cohort of young neuroscience faculty, the Kavli Scholars, and a revised curriculum and examination format to better prepare our students. To be eligible for ESTN support, students must be admitted to the NGP, the most selective biomedical science program at UM, through either direct admit or the PIBS admission umbrella. In the first year, students complete a broad-based neuroscience curriculum that includes: neuroscience “bootcamp”, principles of neuroscience, human neuroanatomy, statistics, research responsibility and ethics, and neuroscience research seminar, in addition to performing laboratory research rotations. At the end of the year, students take their Qualifying Exam. In their second year, students take electives, give oral presentations in the Neuroscience seminar course, complete an NRSA grant and work on their doctoral research. The ESTN consists of 85 faculty representing 19 departments in 5 schools or colleges. The wide academic distribution, strong research funding and high-level of peer recognition of the ESTN faculty excellently matches this application’s focus on broad early stage neuroscience training. Trainees are exposed to a broad range of research areas including: Molecular and Cellular Neuroscience; Developmental Neuroscience; Sensory Neuroscience; Cognitive Neuroscience; Behavioral and Systems Neuroscience; Computational Neuroscience; and Clinical and Translational Neuroscience. Upon completion of training, our graduates are poised to tackle a host of basic neuroscience and/or public health issues ranging from the molecular basis of neurodegenerative disorders to brain circuit abnormalities in psychiatric disease. The NGP at University of Michigan has a history of recruiting and training students from underrepresented groups, yet strives to continue to increase the diversity of its trainees. Our accomplishments and a detailed plan for continuing to recruit, retain and develop successful underrepresented Ph.D. trainees in neuroscience research are highlighted. We also present detailed plans for mentoring, professional development, evaluation of the program, and for instruction in quantitative methods and the responsible conduct of research. Taken together, the Michigan ESTN provides outstanding training to future neuroscientists within the setting of a major research university.

项目概要/摘要。继续支持我们的培训补助金，“早期培训， 2001年在密歇根大学（UM）成立的神经科学公司（ESCIENS）被要求。目标 这项赠款，这是神经科学研究生项目（NGP）的核心，是提供一个干部， 在神经科学方面受过广泛训练的优秀博士预科生。这将为他们的职业生涯做好准备， 有助于满足国家基础科学和生物医学研究的需要。一系列令人兴奋的新变化 在ENOW/NGP中发生了一些变化，包括新的领导团队，新的最先进的设施和资源， 年轻的神经科学教师的动态新队列，Kavli学者，以及修订后的课程和考试 格式，以更好地准备我们的学生。要有资格获得Escort支持，学生必须被NGP录取， UM最具选择性的生物医学科学课程，通过直接录取或PIBS录取 伞在第一年，学生完成基础广泛的神经科学课程，包括：神经科学 “训练营”，神经科学原理，人类神经解剖学，统计学，研究责任和道德，以及 神经科学研究研讨会，除了执行实验室研究轮换。年底， 学生参加资格考试。在第二年，学生参加选修课，在 神经科学研讨会课程，完成NRSA补助金和他们的博士研究工作。该Escapes由 代表5所学校或学院19个系的85名教师。学术分布广、实力强 研究资金和高水平的同行认可的埃克塞特教师很好地匹配这个应用程序的 专注于广泛的早期神经科学培训。学员接触到广泛的研究领域 包括：分子和细胞神经科学;发育神经科学;感觉神经科学; 认知神经科学;行为和系统神经科学;计算神经科学;和临床和 翻译神经科学。在完成培训后，我们的毕业生准备解决一系列基本的 神经科学和/或公共卫生问题，从神经退行性疾病的分子基础， 精神疾病中的脑回路异常密歇根大学的NGP有一个招聘的历史， 和培训学生从代表性不足的群体，但努力继续增加其多样性， 实习生我们的成就和详细的计划，继续招聘，留住和发展成功的 博士学位不足神经科学研究的受训人员受到重视。我们还提出了详细的计划， 指导，专业发展，计划评估，以及定量方法的指导， 负责任地进行研究。总的来说，密歇根大学提供了优秀的培训，以未来 神经科学家在一个主要的研究型大学的设置。
