 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a competing renewal application for funds to support pre- and postdoctoral training in Integrative Neuroscience at the Center for Neural Science at New York University. This proposal follows successful implementation of a new direction for this program that was undertaken in the previous award period. The focus of the training program is on four interrelated core areas of investigation: learning, memory, development and plasticity. The proposed training program includes a partnership with the Graduate Program in Neuroscience and Physiology at the NYU School of Medicine. We seek to renew our support at the level of 7 predoctoral and 3 postdoctoral fellows. This number of trainees requested stems from 1) recent expansion of our neuroscience faculty in the focus areas of this training program, 2) increasing cooperation between the new NYU Neuroscience Institute and the Center for Neural Science, 3) and increasing number of well- qualified trainees in our focus areas, and 4) the importance of fostering a cohesive training group of a sufficient size to foster trainee development across levels, from pre to post-doctoral and from cellular-molecular to systems and cognitive approaches, across program divisions, and between translational and basic research. Our proposed training program will provide a central focus for pre and postdoctoral training in areas of neuroscience critical to advancing knowledge of development and degeneration of the nervous system, neural disease processes, and disorders of memory and mental health. Our trainees will have the opportunity to be a part of a cohort of world class scientists engaged in cutting-edge research related to learning, memory, development and plasticity. We have compiled a group of 25 training faculty that will provide an integrative, collaborative training experience that crosses traditional disciplinary boundaries, spans levels of analysis, and levels of training. The trainees, predoctoral fellows in the third yer or higher and postdoctoral fellows in the early years post PhD, will have access to a special seminar series, individualized mentoring, opportunities to develop translational thinking, and workshops to promote balanced professional and academic skills important for future success. We expect our trainees to remain in the program for about 2 years, at which time we expect that they will have obtained independent funding or transitioned to another research support mechanism. In either case, they will have a continuing, high-level of support from the program. We seek to build a steadily growing cohort of scientists with shared goals and interests that will advance the goals of NIMH for research into the neural mechanisms of development, disorders and mental disease.

 描述（由申请提供）：这是一项竞争性续签申请，以支持纽约大学神经科学中心的综合神经科学前和博士后培训。该提案是成功实施了该计划的新方向，该计划是在上一个裁决期间进行的。培训计划的重点是四个相互关联的投资领域：学习，记忆，发展和可塑性。拟议的培训计划包括与纽约大学医学院神经科学和生理学研究生计划的合作伙伴关系。我们寻求在7个五位和3个博士后研究员的水平上更新支持。这一数量受训者要求从1）从该培训计划的重点领域中扩展我们的神经科学教师，2）增加新的NYU神经科学研究所与神经科学中心之间的合作，3），3）以及我们重点领域中良好的合并培训人员的数量，以及我们在我们的培训中培训的重要性，从培训小组中培养量的范围，从跨程序分裂以及翻译和基础研究之间的细胞分子与系统和认知方法。我们提出的培训计划将在神经科学领域的培训前后，为促进对神经系统发展和退化的知识，神经化学过程以及记忆和心理健康的疾病至关重要。我们的学员将有机会成为与学习，记忆，发展和可塑性有关的尖端研究的世界一流科学家的一部分。我们已经编辑了一组25个培训教师，该教师将提供综合，协作的培训经验，跨越传统的学科界限，跨越分析水平和培训水平。学员，第三年或更高的杂物前研究员和博士后早期的博士后研究员，将有一个特殊的开创性系列，个性化的心理，发展翻译思维的机会以及促进平衡的专业和学术技能，对未来的成功很重要。我们预计我们的学员将在计划中保留大约2年，届时我们希望他们将获得任何一种情况，他们将获得该计划的持续高级支持。我们试图建立一个悄悄成长的科学家，具有共同的目标和兴趣，这将促进NIMH的目标，以研究发展，疾病和精神疾病的神经机制。
