Training Workshops in Basic Sleep Research

简介（由申请人提供）：基础睡眠研究睡眠训练研讨会（Sleep Training workshop）是一年一度的会议，旨在为博士生和博士后学员提供基础和临床睡眠研究方面的高级培训。睡眠训练工作坊的目标是确保学员能够获得跨学科的指导，以建立一个杰出的年轻科学家的小团体，他们能够产生关于睡眠大脑基本特性的新的重要信息。为了实现这一目标，睡眠培训工作坊将充分利用一个杰出的教师的综合优势。在睡眠训练工作坊的支持下，学院将集中他们的资源，在分子、细胞、系统和行为方面提供基础和临床睡眠研究的指导，并培训年轻的研究人员从事睡眠和睡眠相关研究的临床相关领域的基础研究。将优先考虑根据NIH/NIMH路线图为转化研究提供指导。此外，美国国立卫生研究院神经科学研究蓝图中的详细指导方针将纳入学员的指导框架。像过去一样，强调概念和创造性形式解决问题的创新项目将成为睡眠训练工作坊的标志。此外，睡眠培训工作坊提供的培训重点将集中在神经科学的新领域，如功能基因组学，非线性数学和神经信息学，这些领域有可能被学员使用。睡眠训练工作坊将包括有关道德和资助的特别活动；此外，广泛的教学范围不仅包括睡眠领域的方法和数据，还包括心理健康、神经病学、衰老、发育、心血管等相关学科的方法和数据。重点将放在神经科学所有领域的培训上，从呼吸障碍到神经问题，以及从婴儿到老年的生命周期的所有阶段。学员将获得大量的资源，睡眠训练工作坊将发挥“没有围墙的大学”的作用；工作坊将为来自美国各地的学员以及来自其他国家的少数杰出青年科学家提供多学科和跨学科的指导。我们相信睡眠训练工作坊是至关重要的，因为它们是全国（或世界）唯一一个专门为博士前和博士后学员提供基础和临床睡眠研究指导的持续项目。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Sleep Training Workshops in Basic Sleep Research (Sleep Training Workshops) constitute annual meetings that are designed to provide advanced training in basic and clinical sleep research for predoctoral and postdoctoral Trainees. The objective of the Sleep Training Workshops is to assure that interdisciplinary instruction is available for Trainees in order to establish a coterie of outstanding young scientists who are able to generate new important information regarding the fundamental properties of the sleeping brain. To achieve this objective, the Sleep Training Workshops will capitalize on the combined strengths of a distinguished Faculty. Under the auspices of the Sleep Training Workshops, the Faculty will pool their resources and provide instruction in molecular, cellular, systems and behavioral aspects of basic and clinical sleep research as well as train young investigators in basic research dealing with clinically relevant areas of sleep and sleep- related research. A priority will be placed on providing guidance in translational research in accord with the NIH/NIMH Roadmap. In addition, the guidelines detailed in the NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience Research will be incorporated into the Trainee's framework for instruction. Innovative programs that stress concepts and problem-solving in creative formats will, as in the past, be hallmarks of the Sleep Training Workshops. In addition, a major emphasis of the training provided at the Sleep Training Workshops will focus on new areas in neuroscience that have the potential for use by the Trainees, such as functional genomics, non-linear mathematics and neuroinformatics. The Sleep Training Workshops will include special activities dealing with ethics and grantsmanship; a wide range of instruction will, in addition, encompass methodologies and data not only from the field of sleep but also from related disciplines such as mental health, neurology, aging, development, cardiovascular, etc. An emphasis will be placed on training in all areas of neuroscience, extending from breathing disorders to neurological problems, and at all stages of the life cycle, ranging from infancy to old age. A vast array of resources that will be available to the Trainees, the Sleep Training Workshops will function as a "University Without Walls;" the Workshop will provide multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary instruction for Trainees from throughout the United States as well as for a small complement of outstanding young scientists from other nations. We believe that the Sleep Training Workshops are critically important because they are the only continuing program in the nation (or world) specifically designed to provide instruction, for predoctoral and postdoctoral Trainees, in basic and clinical sleep research.
