Training Program in Neuroscience

描述（由申请人提供）：此申请是纽约大学一个新的综合神经科学培训项目。历史上，纽约大学有两个神经科学研究生项目，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整合研究生课程，从而提供比单个课程更广泛和更深入的培训。此外，鉴于华盛顿广场的系统、认知和计算神经科学和医学院的细胞、分子、发育、转化和临床神经科学的重点，它已经形成了一个高度互补的研究成果。拟议的培训计划努力继续整合纽约大学广泛的神经科学社区，并为两个姐妹校园之间的全面合作提供下一步。神经科学培训计划的具体目标是：(1)在互动和合议的研究环境中提供严谨和广泛的神经科学研究生教育。(2)增加申请和参与该项目的高素质学生的数量，包括积极招募未被充分代表的少数民族。(3)通过严格的师徒制度为学生提供指导，通过一系列里程碑，通常需要5-6年才能获得博士学位。(4)通过公开讨论与科学方法和结果解释相关的问题，以及讨论与科学研究相关的伦理问题，建立批判性意识。(5)就神经科学训练如何使学生在基础研究、转化研究和临床研究中做出贡献提供一个广阔的视角。这包括获取有关研究生职业选择的详细信息。该项目汇集了69名具有不同研究兴趣的教师，以确保在神经科学的基本原理及其在基础和临床研究问题中的应用方面对研究生进行广泛的培训。该计划的凝聚力是通过学生所需的综合核心课程，以及研讨会，专题讨论会，期刊俱乐部，教程，务虚会和广泛的实验室培训来实现的。每个学生在整个培训期间都将得到精心的指导，以确保

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.
