DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is an application to support a new Interdisciplinary Program in Neuroscience at The Rockefeller University. The Interdisciplinary Training Program in Neuroscience would be a specialized unit of the Ph.D. program at Rockefeller, and is specifically designed for neuroscience training. The training program would include required neuroscience coursework, including a readings course exclusively for trainees, required statistical training, and research opportunities in different areas of neuroscience including molecular and cellular, behavioral, systems, and clinical neuroscience. The 26 faculty trainers are accomplished neuroscientists, including 2 Nobel laureates and 10 members of the US National Academy of Sciences, with a shared interest and experience in graduate education. The interdisciplinary nature of the program would encourage trainees to perform collaborative work in various areas with different faculty. We propose to support 6 predoctoral trainees during the first two years of graduate study. The applicant pool is outstanding, including a large number of students with accomplished undergraduate records, extensive research experience and a strong interest in neuroscience. Trainees would be mentored by the Program Director; a Program Advisory Committee of selected faculty for general curriculum and research advice; and a Faculty Advisory Committee, specifically designed for each trainee to provide detailed experimental guidance. Finally, the University provides extensive support for the graduate program in general, which would benefit the neuroscience training program. The confluence of these attributes defines a specific training program that would equip trainees with the educational background, analytical abilities, and experimental expertise to forge future advances in neuroscience.

描述（由申请人提供）：这是一份申请，用于支持洛克菲勒大学一个新的神经科学跨学科项目。神经科学跨学科培训项目将是洛克菲勒大学博士项目的一个专门单元，专门为神经科学培训而设计。培训计划将包括必修的神经科学课程，包括专门为学员开设的阅读课程，必修的统计学培训，以及神经科学不同领域的研究机会，包括分子和细胞、行为、系统和临床神经科学。26位教师培训师都是有成就的神经科学家，其中包括2位诺贝尔奖获得者和10位美国国家科学院院士，他们对研究生教育有着共同的兴趣和经验。该计划的跨学科性质将鼓励学员在不同领域与不同的教师进行合作。我们建议在研究生学习的前两年支持6名博士预科学员。申请人才库非常出色，其中包括大量具有优异本科成绩、丰富研究经验和对神经科学有浓厚兴趣的学生。受训人员将由方案主任指导；一个由选定教师组成的项目咨询委员会，为一般课程和研究提供建议；以及专门为每位学员设计的学院咨询委员会，提供详细的实验指导。最后，大学为研究生项目提供了广泛的支持，这将有利于神经科学培训项目。这些属性的融合定义了一个特定的培训计划，该计划将为受训者提供教育背景，分析能力和实验专业知识，以推动神经科学的未来发展。
