 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(由申请人提供)：这是一份竞争性的续签申请，以支持纽约大学神经科学中心在综合神经科学方面的博士后和博士后培训。这项提议是在前一次获奖期间成功地实施了该计划的新方向之后提出的。培训计划的重点是四个相互关联的核心调查领域：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。我们寻求恢复我们对7名博士后研究员和3名博士后研究员的支持。我们要求的受训人数源于1)我们神经科学教员最近在本培训计划重点领域的扩展，2)新的纽约大学神经科学研究所和神经科学中心之间加强合作，3)在我们的重点领域增加合格的受训人员，4)培养一个具有足够规模的有凝聚力的培训小组，以促进受训人员从博士后到博士后，从细胞-分子到系统和认知方法，跨项目部门，以及翻译和基础研究之间的跨级别发展的重要性。我们建议的培训计划将为神经科学领域的博士前和博士后培训提供中心，这些领域对于增进对神经系统的发育和退化、神经疾病过程以及记忆和心理健康障碍的知识至关重要。我们的受训人员将有机会成为世界级科学家队伍中的一员，这些科学家从事与学习、记忆、发育和可塑性相关的尖端研究。我们已经建立了一个由25名培训人员组成的团队，他们将提供跨越传统学科边界、跨越分析水平和培训水平的综合、协作的培训体验。受训者，三年级或更高级别的博士后研究员和博士后初期的博士后研究员，将有机会参加一系列特别研讨会、个性化指导、发展翻译思维的机会，以及促进平衡的专业和学术技能的研讨会，这些技能对未来的成功至关重要。我们预计我们的受训人员将在该计划中停留约2年，届时他们将获得独立资助或过渡到另一种研究支持机制。在任何一种情况下，他们都将从该计划获得持续的、高水平的支持。我们寻求建立一支拥有共同目标和兴趣的稳步增长的科学家队伍，以推进NIMH在研究发育、障碍和精神疾病的神经机制方面的目标。
