我们建议在圣安东尼奥的德克萨斯大学进行SNRP。UTSA是一个年轻的机构， 致力于神经科学研究生培训和研究的快速增长，并强调 定量和计算研究。在过去的3年里，UTSA生物系已经雇用了6名 来自全国最好的实验室的有前途的年轻终身制神经生物学教师， 神经科学学科的横截面和先进的神经科学在我们的机构。大多数这些 新的科学家是助理教授，他们以前从未担任过教职。在即将到来的5 2015年，我们致力于招聘5名对主题感兴趣的终身制神经科学家 对理解神经系统功能和疾病，包括神经控制的基础。 运动，中枢模式生成，成人神经系统的结构可塑性，离子通道结构 功能和行为遗传学。 在我们神经科学小组快速发展的这段时间里，我们设想SNRP作为 UTSA神经科学社区的中心。该计划将开发一个UTSA社区 研究人员和他们的合作者在其他机构。它将支持共享的研究基础设施 为神经生物学研究量身定制，提供设计，收集和 数字和图像数据的定量分析。我们将提供培训和领导， 我们有前途的新教师的发展。我们将为他们提供关键的评估，建议和支持。 合作试点研究，提供指导和直接帮助，在行政和管理 在建立新的实验室时出现的问题。SNRP领导层还将倡导 他们在学院和大学一级的利益，因为他们建立自己的独立研究计划， 培养成为富有成效的管理者、科学家和学者。SNRP的第二个重点是提供 补充神经生物学博士课程的培训机会，包括研讨会，研讨会， 为期一年的竞争性培训奖学金的学生有兴趣追求先进的数学或 在我们的项目中进行统计研究。

We propose a SNRP at the University of Texas at San Antonio. UTSA is a young institution with a commitment to rapid growth in graduate training and research in Neuroscience, and an emphasis on quantitative and computational research. In the past 3 years the Department of Biology at UTSA has hired 6 promising young tenure-track neurobiology faculty from among the best labs in the country to represent a cross-section of neuroscience disciplines and advance Neuroscience within our institution. Most of these new scientists are assistant professors, who have never previously held faculty positions. In the upcoming 5 years we are committed to hiring 5 additional tenure-track Neuroscientists with research interests in topics fundamental to the understanding of nervous system function and disorders, including neural control of movement, central pattern generation, structural plasticity in the adult nervous system, ion channel structure and function, and behavioral genetics. During this time of rapid growth of our Neuroscience group, we envision the SNRP functioning as the center of the Neuroscience community at UTSA. The program will develop a community of UTSA researchers and their collaborators at other institutions. It will support a shared research infrastructure tailored to Neurobiology research by providing resources and expertise in the design, collection and quantitative analysis of numerical and image data. We will offer training and leadership to foster the development of our promising new faculty. We will provide critical evaluation, advice and support for their collaborative pilot research, by providing guidance and direct help in the administrative and management issues that arise in establishing their new laboratories. The SNRP leadership will also act as an advocate for their interests at the college and university levels as they establish their independent research programs and develop into productive managers, scientists and scholars. A second focus of the SNRP will be to provide training opportunities that supplement the Neurobiology Ph.D program, including seminars, symposia, and year-long competitive training fellowships for students interested in pursuing advanced mathematical or statistical studies while in our program.
