NIDA Training Program in Neuroscience

项目摘要 NIDA神经科学博士前培训项目于年在密歇根大学（UM）成立。 1995.该培训计划由一名董事和联合董事管理，旨在招募，发展和 提高学生对药物滥用的神经生物学研究的兴趣。有资格获得支持 通过NIDA培训计划，学生必须首先获得现有UM研究生课程的入学许可， 生物，生物医学和自然科学，如跨部门的神经科学研究生课程， 生物心理学课程，或药理学研究生课程的部门。学生提名 NIDA神经科学培训计划的支持是基于两个标准选择的：1）学术 资格和参考（即学术卓越），2）他们的研究计划的相关性， 研究兴趣的NIDA使命。在入选NIDA神经科学培训计划后， 学生在神经科学的研究计划，包括必修课程， 药物滥用的神经精神药理学和一个伴随的研讨会系列，涉及NIDA 培训计划教师。此外，现在和过去的受训人员参加定期杂志俱乐部，研讨会系列， 该补助金支持的网络活动，以培养社区意识，并保持学生对 药物滥用研究贯穿其论文工作。NIDA有14名核心教师 神经科学培训计划，所有这些人目前都由NIDA资助，并进行与以下方面有关的研究： 药物滥用的神经生物学基础核心培训计划的教员已经改变 自上一个供资周期以来，随着三名即将退休的教职员工的离职， 还有两个已经离开了密歇根大学增加了四名新的核心教师。在 此外，7个“初级教师附属机构”已被添加;早期助理教授谁将寻求NIDA 经费所有教师都有以前的指导经验，并有一个计划，更高级的 教师担任共同导师，以丰富学员的指导经验。此外，教师 隶属于这个培训计划的150多名神经科学研究生课程教师的协助下， 参与培训的许多方面，以及拉克姆研究生院，它提供了一些 计划，以加强导师与学员的关系，并提供一个支持和富有成效的环境， 实习生总之，我们的培训计划，董事的悠久历史，以及提供的资源 密歇根大学及其附属项目使我们处于一个非常有利的位置，以实现主要目标 这份培训补助金即是说，为进行研究的学员提供所需的基础设施和支援 兴趣与药物滥用的神经生物学，因为他们对他们的博士学位， 神经科学或相关领域。

PROJECT SUMMARY The predoctoral NIDA Training Program in Neuroscience was founded at the University of Michigan (UM) in 1995. This Training Program is administered by a Director and Co-Director, and aims to recruit, develop and enhance student interest in research related to the neurobiology of substance abuse. To be eligible for support by the NIDA Training Program students must first gain admittance to an existing UM graduate program in the biological, biomedical and natural sciences, such as the interdepartmental Neuroscience Graduate Program, the Biopsychology Program, or the Department of Pharmacology Graduate Program. Students nominated for support by the NIDA Training Program in Neuroscience are selected on the basis of two criteria: 1) academic qualifications and references (i.e. academic excellence) and, 2) the relevance of their program of study and research interests to the NIDA mission. After selection for the NIDA Training Program in Neuroscience, students pursue a program of study in the neurosciences, including a required course on the neuropsychopharmacology of substance abuse and an accompanying seminar series involving the NIDA Training Program faculty. In addition, current and past trainees attend regular journal clubs, seminar series and networking events supported by this grant to foster a sense of community and maintain student interest in substance abuse research throughout their dissertation work. There are 14 core faculty members for the NIDA Training Program in Neuroscience, all of whom are currently funded by NIDA and conduct research related to the neurobiological basis of substance abuse. The core Training Program faculty members have changed since the prior funding cycle, with the removal of three faculty members who are phasing towards retirement, and two who have left the University of Michigan. Four new core faculty members have been added. In addition, 7 “Junior Faculty Affiliates” have been added; early Assistant Professors who will be seeking NIDA funding. All faculty members have prior mentoring experience, and there is a plan in place for more senior faculty to serve as co-mentors to enrich the mentoring experience for the trainees. Furthermore, the faculty affiliated with this Training Program are assisted by over 150 Neuroscience Graduate Program Faculty who are involved in many aspects of the training, as well as the Rackham Graduate School which offers a number of programs to enhance mentor-mentee relationships and provide a supportive and productive environment for trainees. Together, the long history of our Training Program, the Directorship, and the resources provided by the University of Michigan and affiliated programs puts us in an excellent position to accomplish the major goal of this training grant. That is, to provide the necessary infrastructure and support for trainees pursuing research interests related to the neurobiology of substance abuse as they work towards their doctoral degree in neuroscience or a related field.
