Duke Impact Neuroscience Program

项目总结 Impact神经科学计划的目的是加强神经科学方面的严格科学培训， 杜克大学和改变科学文化。该计划将接纳并吸引来自 与他们的同行和导师一起，在科学界代表不足的背景，并改善 为所有人营造学术科学的训练环境。Impact神经科学计划包括针对性的 为来自以下背景的研究生提供神经科学培训和专业发展活动 在科学上有代表性，也许更重要的是为他们的同行和导师制定的计划。 有针对性的神经科学培训包括特定的神经科学方法和教师内部的技能培训。 实验室，数据科学和开放科学的专门培训，以及积极的实习生和教职员工参与 为职业发展提供资源的专业研讨会。该计划的一个关键的更广泛的重点 包括通过社区干预来支持科学家，以发展杜克大学的培训基础设施 以促进所有人的繁荣。我们的目标不是帮助那些在科学方面处于劣势的学生，而是 改变我们的模式和文化，以丰富我们的社区，促进成就。在……里面 除了现有强有力的证据支持的活动外，我们还提出了几种基于 激励学习的神经科学，将在项目中进行测试和评估。我们预测保留率会有所提高， 培训，并长期表现为小学研究生研究员。我们还预测了广泛的好处 对于社区，包括增强宿主实验室的整体性能。

PROJECT SUMMARY The purpose of the Impact Neuroscience Program is to enhance rigorous scientific training in neuroscience at Duke University and change the culture of science. The program will embrace and engage students from backgrounds under-represented in science together with their peer colleagues and mentors, and improve the academic scientific training environment for all. The Impact Neuroscience Program includes targeted neuroscience training and professional development activities for graduate students from backgrounds under- represented in science, and perhaps even more importantly programs for their peer colleagues and mentors. The targeted neuroscience training includes specific neuroscience methods and skills training within faculty labs, specialized training in data science and open science, and active trainee and faculty participation in a professional seminar that provides resources for career development. A critical broader focus of the program includes supporting the scientist through community interventions that evolve the training infrastructure at Duke to facilitate thriving for all. Our goal is not to fix students who are disadvantaged in science, it is rather to change our paradigms and culture in order to enrich our community and catalyze achievement. In addition to activities with strong extant evidentiary support, we propose several new interventions based on the neuroscience of motivated learning, to be tested and evaluated in the program. We predict improved retention, training, and long-term performance for the primary graduate student fellows. We also predict broad benefits for the community including enhanced overall performance of host labs.
