Training Program in Neuroscience

描述(由申请人提供)：本申请是纽约大学一个新的、综合的神经科学培训项目。从历史上看，纽约大学有两个神经科学研究生课程，分别位于华盛顿广场和医学院校园。然而，在过去的两年里，我们一直在努力无缝地整合研究生课程，从而提供比每个单独提供的培训更大的广度和深度的培训。此外，它还形成了一个高度互补的研究成果，因为华盛顿广场的重点是系统科学、认知科学和计算神经科学，医学院的重点是细胞、分子、发育、翻译和临床神经科学。拟议的培训计划致力于继续整合纽约大学广泛的神经科学界，并为两个姊妹校区之间的全面合作和合作迈出下一步。神经科学培训计划的具体目标是：(1)在互动和大学研究环境中提供严格和广泛的神经科学研究生教育。(2)增加申请和参加该计划的高素质学生的数量，包括积极招募代表人数不足的少数族裔。(3)通过严格的指导制度，通过一系列里程碑为学生提供指导，通常在5-6年内获得博士学位。(4)通过公开讨论与科学方法有关的问题和对结果的解释以及对与科学研究有关的伦理问题的讨论，培养批判意识。(5)就神经科学培训如何让学生在基础研究、翻译研究和临床研究中做出贡献提供广阔的视角。这包括获取有关研究生职业选择的详细信息。该计划汇集了69名具有不同研究兴趣的教职员工，以确保对研究生进行广泛的神经科学基本原理及其在基础和临床研究问题上的应用方面的培训。该计划的凝聚力是通过为我们的学生提供全面的核心课程，以及研讨会、研讨会、期刊俱乐部、教程、务虚会和广泛的实验室培训来实现的。在整个培训期间，每个学生都将得到仔细的指导，以确保 相关性(参见说明)：神经科学是一个高度多学科的领域，融合了生物学、心理学、遗传学、计算机科学、物理学和工程学的不同研究领域。最近在神经科学研究中获得的基础知识导致了治疗神经性、神经感觉、神经发育、精神和成瘾障碍的治疗方法和设计策略的快速发展。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is for a new, integrated neuroscience training program at New York University. Historically, there have been two neuroscience graduate program at NYU located at the Washington Square and School of Medicine campuses. However, there has been an effort over the past two years to seamlessly integrate the graduate programs and thereby offer training with far greater breadth and depth than each offers individually. Moreover, it has formed a highly complementary research effort given the emphasis of systems, cognitive, and computational neuroscience at Washington Square and cellular, molecular, developmental, translational, and clinical neuroscience at the medical school. The proposed training program strives to continue the integration of the extensive neuroscience community at NYU and provide the next step towards full collaboration and cooperative between the two sister campuses. The specific goals of the neuroscience training program are: (1) To provide a rigorous and broad-based graduate education in neuroscience within an interactive and collegial research environment. (2) To increase the number of high caliber students that apply to and participate in the program, including active recruitment of underrepresented minorities. (3) To provide students with guidance by a rigorous mentoring system through a series of milestones to a doctoral degree typically in 5-6 years. (4) To build critical awareness by open discussion of problems associated with the scientific method and the interpretation of results as well as discussion of the ethical problems associated with scientific research. (5) To provide a broad perspective on how training in neuroscience can allow students to make contributions in basic, translational, and clinical research. This includes access to detailed information concerning post-graduate career choices. The program brings together 69 faculty members with diverse research interests to ensure broad training graduate students in fundamental principles of neuroscience and their application to basic and clinical research problems. Cohesiveness in the program is achieved through a comprehensive core course curriculum required for our students, as well as seminars, symposia, journal clubs, tutorials, retreats, and extensive laboratory training. Each student will be carefully mentored throughout their training tenure to ensure that RELEVANCE (See instructions): Neuroscience is a highly multidisciplinary field that incorporates diverse areas of research from biology, psychology, genetics, computer science, physics, and engineering. Fundamental knowledge obtained recently in neuroscience research has resulted in rapid developments in therapies and design strategies for the treatment of neurological, Neuro-sensory, Neuro-developmental, psychiatric, and addictive disorders.
