 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）：这是一个竞争性的更新申请，用于资助纽约大学神经科学中心的综合神经科学的博士前和博士后培训。该提案是在上一个授予期内成功实施该计划的新方向之后提出的。培训计划的重点是调查的四个相互关联的核心领域：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课程的合作。我们寻求在7个博士前和3个博士后研究员的水平更新我们的支持。要求的受训人员数量源于1）最近在本培训计划的重点领域扩大了我们的神经科学教师，2）增加了新的纽约大学神经科学研究所和神经科学中心之间的合作，3）增加了我们重点领域的合格受训人员数量，以及4）培养一个有足够规模的有凝聚力的培训小组以促进各级学员发展的重要性，从博士前到博士后，从细胞分子到系统和认知方法，跨程序部门，以及转化和基础研究之间。我们拟议的培训计划将提供一个中心重点，为前和博士后培训神经科学领域的关键推进神经系统的发展和退化，神经疾病过程，记忆和心理健康障碍的知识。我们的学员将有机会成为世界一流科学家群体的一员，从事与学习、记忆、发育和可塑性相关的前沿研究。我们已经编制了一个由25名培训教师组成的小组，他们将提供跨越传统学科界限、跨越分析层次和培训层次的综合、协作培训体验。受训人员，在第三年或更高的博士前研究员和博士后研究员在早期的博士后，将有机会获得一个特殊的研讨会系列，个性化的辅导，发展翻译思维的机会，和研讨会，以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该计划中停留约2年，届时我们预计他们将获得独立资助或过渡到另一个研究支持机制。无论哪种情况，他们都将得到该计划的持续、高水平的支持。我们寻求建立一个稳定增长的科学家群体，他们有着共同的目标和兴趣，这将推动NIMH研究发展，障碍和精神疾病的神经机制的目标。
