我们在德克萨斯大学圣安东尼奥分校提出了SNRP。UTSA是一家年轻的机构，拥有 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的生物系雇佣了6名 来自全国最好的实验室之一的有前途的年轻终身教职跟踪神经生物学教师代表 神经科学学科的交叉和我们机构内的高级神经科学。其中大多数都是 新科学家是助理教授，他们以前从未担任过教职。在即将到来的5年中 多年来，我们承诺再招聘5名终身教职的神经学家，他们对某些主题有研究兴趣 了解神经系统功能和紊乱的基础，包括神经控制 运动、中枢模式生成、成人神经系统结构可塑性、离子通道结构 和功能，以及行为遗传学。 在我们神经科学集团快速增长的这段时间里，我们设想SNRP将作为 UTSA神经科学社区中心。该计划将发展一个UTSA社区 研究人员和他们在其他机构的合作者。它将支持共享的研究基础设施 为神经生物学研究量身定做，通过提供设计、收集和 对数字和图像数据进行定量分析。我们将提供培训和领导力，以促进 发展我们有前途的新教员。我们将为他们提供批判性的评估、建议和支持 协作性试点研究，通过在行政和管理方面提供指导和直接帮助 在建立他们的新实验室时出现的问题。SNRP领导层还将倡导 他们在学院和大学层面上的兴趣，因为他们建立了独立的研究计划和 发展成为生产管理者、科学家和学者。SNRP的第二个重点将是提供 补充神经生物学博士课程的培训机会，包括研讨会、座谈会和 为期一年的竞争性培训奖学金，面向有兴趣攻读高等数学或 在我们的节目中进行统计研究。

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.
