DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application for a new, institutional training grant requests funds for 4 positions (2 in the initial year), for postdoctoral fellows. Fellows will participate in the recently-developed Training Program in the Neurological Sciences at the Neurological Sciences Institute (NSI), a multi-disciplinary neuroscience research unit at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU). NSI faculty is a diverse group with primary training in biological sciences, physics, engineering, and physical therapy. NSI faculty members' research covers a range of central and autonomic nervous system functions, from sensation to neuronal plasticity, memory, motor control, and disease and injury processes. Their research uses a full range of experimental approaches, from molecular and cellular studies to neuroprosthetics, systems neuroscience, and mathematical modeling. The purposes of this training program are to help postdoctoral fellows develop strong research skills in multiple neuroscience disciplines, develop critical thinking and scientific communication skills, develop a scientific knowledge base in their area(s) of specialization, acquire technical and laboratory management skills needed to direct their own independent research programs, and develop a publication record - all of which are essential for ultimately establishing and maintaining an independent career in neuroscience research. In addition, NSI stresses community outreach as well as the application of one's basic research to health-care problems. As a result, the training program is designed to instill an awareness that the purpose of scientific research goes beyond the exploration of the unknown, to include education and application.

描述（由申请人提供）： 该新的机构培训补助金的申请要求为4个职位（最初年份的2个职位）提供资金，用于博士后研究员。研究员将参加俄勒冈州健康与科学大学（OHSU）的多学科神经科学研究部门神经科学研究所（NSI）的神经科学研究所（NSI）的近期开发的培训计划。 NSI教职员工是一个多元化的群体，在生物科学，物理，工程和物理疗法方面进行了初级培训。 NSI教职员工的研究涵盖了一系列中央和自主神经系统功能，从感觉到神经元可塑性，记忆力，运动控制以及疾病以及伤害过程。他们的研究采用了各种实验方法，从分子和细胞研究到神经假想，系统神经科学和数学建模。该培训计划的目的是帮助博士后研究员在多个神经科学学科，发展批判性思维和科学沟通技巧，发展其专业领域的科学知识基础，获得需要指导自己的独立研究计划所需的技术和实验室管理技能的科学知识基础，并最终建立独立的研究和维持独立的Neurscientience至关重要的是至关重要的。此外，NSI强调了社区外展以及将基础研究应用于医疗保健问题。结果，培训计划旨在灌输意识到科学研究的目的超越了未知的探索，包括教育和应用。
