DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal requests continued support of a highly successful interdisciplinary training grant in Developmental Psychobiology and Neurobiology under the auspices of the MENTOR award program. Pre-doctoral and postdoctoral trainees are prepared for research and teaching careers. Former trainees have an excellent track record in obtaining academic or in some cases industry positions. Broad and deep knowledge of research literature and methodological sophistication are emphasized in the training program, in which students are enrolled in the Neuroscience or Biological Psychology Ph.D. programs at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. A faculty committee guides the training of each pre-doctoral and postdoctoral trainee, developing an individualized training program appropriate to the trainee's current state of preparation and future goals. To build skills in oral communication, each trainee will present at least one seminar each year describing her/his research and activities to a seminar group that includes other trainees and their advisors and members of the trainee's committee. All faculty in the training program are members of the Neuroscience Program. Two of the primary faculty, including the PI/PD, are members of the National Academy of Sciences, and many others have received fellow status or other indications of accomplishment within their professional organizations. The PD is very well known in the field of neural development and plasticity and provides "translational" experience through his work on fragile X syndrome. Several other faculty are similarly developing translational lines of research. Instruction in the Responsible Conduct of Science includes both enrollment in a graduate course, MCB 580 - "Research Ethics and Responsibilities" and individual training by the faculty mentor. Substantial efforts have allowed us to attract outstanding minority trainees, and a number of former minority trainees have successfully obtained faculty positions at major universities.

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案要求在MENTOR奖励计划的支持下，继续为发展心理生物学和神经生物学的高度成功的跨学科培训提供支持。博士前和博士后学员为从事研究和教学工作做好准备。以前的学员在获得学术职位或某些情况下的行业职位方面都有良好的记录。在伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校的神经科学或生物心理学博士课程中，学生们在培训计划中强调了对研究文献和方法复杂性的广泛而深入的了解。教师委员会指导每位博士预科生和博士后实习生的培训，制定适合实习生当前准备状态和未来目标的个性化培训计划。为了培养口头交流的技能，每位学员每年至少要向一个包括其他学员在内的研讨会小组介绍她/他的研究和活动
