Duke Impact Neuroscience Program

项目摘要 影响神经科学计划的目的是加强神经科学的严格科学培训， 杜克大学和改变科学文化。该计划将拥抱和参与学生从 与他们的同行同事和导师一起在科学领域代表性不足的背景，并提高 为所有人提供科学的学术培训环境。影响神经科学计划包括有针对性的 神经科学培训和专业发展活动的研究生从背景下- 在科学中有代表性，也许更重要的是为他们的同行和导师提供项目。 有针对性的神经科学培训包括教师内部的特定神经科学方法和技能培训 实验室，数据科学和开放科学的专业培训，以及学员和教师的积极参与， 为职业发展提供资源的专业研讨会。该计划的一个重要的更广泛的重点 包括通过社区干预来支持科学家，这些干预措施发展了杜克的培训基础设施 为所有人的幸福而努力。我们的目标不是帮助那些在科学方面处于不利地位的学生， 改变我们的模式和文化，以丰富我们的社区和催化成就。在 除了具有强有力的现有证据支持的活动外，我们还根据 动机性学习的神经科学，在程序中进行测试和评估。我们预测会有更好的保留， 培训，并为小学研究生研究员的长期表现。我们还预测， 包括增强主机实验室的整体性能。

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.
