DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of the Kansas University Training Program in Neurological and Rehabilitation Sciences is to provide predoctoral interdisciplinary training in translational research in basic and clinical aspects of neuroscience, especially as it applies to neurological conditions amenable to rehabilitative treatments. The interdisciplinary nature of this program is unique in that basic science trainees will have the opportunity to participate in clinical aspects of neurological disorders, and clinical trainees will be provided with valuable basic scientific insights and technical experience in neurobiological mechanisms. The program derives expertise from both basic and clinical research to cross-fertilize research experiences of the individual trainees. Didactic training will include core curricula for predoctoral students in the Interdisciplinary Graduate Program in Biomedical Science, the Graduate Programs in Neuroscience or the Graduate Program in Rehabilitation Science, providing a firm groundwork for understanding basic genetic, molecular and cellular mechanisms. Short-term, summer training experiences will be offered to medical and allied health students, providing experience with the complex interdisciplinary models that will be necessary for the next generation of therapeutic approaches in neurorehabilitation. The faculty includes 23 basic and clinical mentors, and an additional 19 teaching faculty who are located within 10 Departments and two Schools of the Kansas University Medical Center. The strength of this group is the expertise and caliber of research faculty, the outstanding research infrastructure, the focus on translating basic neuroscientific principles to bear on neurological conditions, and the desire of both scientists and clinicians to collaborate in the interdisciplinary training of students. Laboratory research and apprenticeships, courses, seminars, guest lectures, journal clubs, data sessions, and poster presentations will be utilized to ensure frequent interaction of the trainees and faculty. The recruitment and selection of trainees will be coordinated through an Internal Advisory Committee, with input from all participating faculty. In addition, the program will be monitored by an External Advisory Committee, composed of national leaders in graduate training in neuroscience and rehabilitation science. Complex medical conditions such as those that result from brain injury require a new approach to understanding and treating patients based on interdisciplinary workgroups of scientists and clinicians. This program will train young scientists to work in research teams that address the basic mechanisms of brain recovery and repair in the context of real-world relevance and feasibility.

描述（由申请人提供）：堪萨斯大学神经学和康复科学培训计划的目标是提供神经科学基础和临床方面转化研究的博士前跨学科培训，特别是当它适用于适合康复治疗的神经系统疾病时。该项目的跨学科性质是独一无二的，基础科学学员将有机会参与神经系统疾病的临床方面，临床学员将获得宝贵的神经生物学机制方面的基本科学见解和技术经验。该计划从基础和临床研究中汲取专业知识，以交叉培养各个学员的研究经验。教学培训将包括生物医学跨学科研究生项目、神经科学研究生项目或康复科学研究生项目的博士前学生核心课程，为理解基本遗传、分子和细胞机制提供坚实的基础。将为医学和联合健康专业的学生提供短期夏季培训经验，提供复杂的跨学科模型的经验，这对于下一代神经康复治疗方法是必需的。该教职人员包括 23 名基础和临床导师，以及另外 19 名教学人员，他们分布在堪萨斯大学医学中心的 10 个系和两个学院。该团队的优势在于研究人员的专业知识和能力、出色的研究基础设施、对将基本神经科学原理转化为神经系统疾病的关注，以及科学家和临床医生在学生跨学科培训中合作的愿望。将利用实验室研究和学徒、课程、研讨会、客座讲座、期刊俱乐部、数据会议和海报展示来确保学员和教师的频繁互动。实习生的招募和选拔将通过内部咨询委员会进行协调，并听取所有参与教师的意见。此外，该计划将由外部咨询委员会监督，该委员会由神经科学和康复科学研究生培训领域的国家领导人组成。 诸如脑损伤引起的复杂医疗状况需要基于科学家和临床医生的跨学科工作组的新方法来理解和治疗患者。该计划将培训年轻科学家在研究团队中工作，在现实世界的相关性和可行性的背景下解决大脑恢复和修复的基本机制。
