DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This program is designed to train 5 predoctoral and 3 postdoctoral trainees, at anyone time, for research and training careers in developmental psychobiology and neurobiology. It is our belief that, since behavioral development rests upon the development of the nervous system, an understanding of the psychological development process requires an integrated knowledge of both behavioral and neural development. Thus an integrated interdisciplinary training program is proposed. Trainees will be admitted via one of two degree-granting units: the Neuroscience Program (NP) and the Biological Psychology Division of the Department of Psychology. In conjunction with the College of Medicine (Urbana-Champaign) a joint MD/PhD degree is also offered through both Programs. The philosophy underlying the design of this program includes the following: 1) because "chance favors the mind prepared", scientists can be more productive if their perspective is broadly interdisciplinary; 2) because the primary goal of this training program is development of research skills, students should be immersed, with strong mentor support, in research throughout their graduate training; 3) the ability to learn and develop critical new methodologies is important, and research training must prepare one for new skills as well as hone those current; 4) presentation skills, communicating ideas to students, colleagues, evaluative arenas and the public is a crucial part of being a good scientist, and 5) good professional ethics requires judgment asmuch as knowledge of the rules, which must be learned both through formal example and through in-laboratory experience with good mentors. Faculty range from behaviorally-oriented psychologists to molecularly-oriented biologists. Members of this group have proven themselves exceptionally capable of cooperation and collaboration, despite their diversity of background. This broad buffet of knowledge allows for a unique program of training that can equip its product to deal with the broad range of phenomena that fall under the heading "neuroscience". Careful attention to a core set of concepts, breadth of knowledge, centered appropriately around the trainee's focus of interest, and productive interactions among trainees and multiple faculty in multiple disciplines characterize our training.

描述（由申请人提供）：该计划旨在培养5 博士前和3博士后学员，在任何时候，研究和 发展心理生物学和神经生物学的培训职业。是我们 相信，由于行为发展取决于发展的 神经系统，了解心理发展过程 需要对行为和神经发育的综合知识。 因此，一个综合的跨学科的培训计划提出。学员 将通过两个学位授予单位之一录取：神经科学 计划（NP）和生物心理学系 心理学 与医学院（厄巴纳-香槟）a 联合MD/博士学位也通过这两个程序提供。 该方案设计的基本理念包括： 1)因为“机会青睐有准备的头脑”，科学家们可以更多地 如果他们的观点是广泛的跨学科; 2）因为 该培训计划的主要目标是发展研究技能， 学生应该沉浸在研究中，并得到强大的导师支持 在他们的研究生培训; 3）学习和发展的能力 关键的新方法是重要的，研究培训必须准备 一个是新技能，也是磨练现有技能; 4）演讲技能， 与学生、同事、评估领域和公众交流想法 是成为一名优秀科学家的关键，以及良好的职业道德 需要判断，因为规则的知识，这必须学习， 通过正式的例子，并通过在实验室的经验与良好的导师。 教师范围从行为导向的心理学家到分子导向的 生物学家该小组的成员已证明自己具有非凡的能力 尽管他们的背景各不相同，但他们的合作与协作是不可或缺的。这 广泛的知识自助餐允许一个独特的培训计划，可以 装备其产品，以处理各种现象，属于 标题是“神经科学” 对一系列核心概念的关注， 知识的广度，适当地围绕受训者的重点， 兴趣，以及学员和多个教师之间的富有成效的互动， 多学科是我们培训的特点。
