DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): NISTP: NEUROIMAGING SCIENCES TRAINING PROGRAM This institutional grant requests funds for four postdoctoral positions for interdisciplinary training and research in neuroimaging. Two general classes of neuroimaging will be emphasized: radiotracer and nuclear magnetic resonance. The specific imaging methods are described by the following acronyms: PET (positron emission tomography, MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), including fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) and DTI (diffusion tensor imaging), and MRS (magnetic resonance spectroscopy). These imaging methodologies offer real promise for the expanded clinical utility of neuroimaging in the diagnosis, treatment, and understanding of the pathophysiology of substance abuse and dependence. However, these new methodologies typically derive from complex, multidisciplinary sciences, which thereby create a challenging information barrier to their further development and application in medical practice. The purposes of the proposed program are the following: - Provide formal course training to postdoctoral fellows, with an emphasis on imaging and clinical research methodology, and instruction in their underlying multidisciplinary sciences. - Provide mentored training for fellows to apply these new methods to the interdisciplinary advance of our understanding of the function of the brain in health, substance abuse, and other psychiatric diseases. - Provide an integrated research experience for the fellows both in imaging applications and in methodology. All postdoctoral fellows will be expected to complete at least one research project with an applications mentor and one with a methodology mentor during their training period. The integration of training in methodology and imaging applications will be enhanced by the organization of this program as two interactive tracks of approximately equal size: Methodology and Application. We expect that the majority of postdoctoral fellows in the Methodology track will have Ph.D. degrees, and those in the Application track, primarily M.D. degrees or Ph.D. in neurosciences or behavioral sciences. Each fellow will have a primary and secondary faculty mentor to represent the two tracks.

描述（由申请人提供）： NISTP：神经影像科学培训计划 该机构拨款要求为四个博士后职位提供资金，以进行神经影像的跨学科培训和研究。 将强调神经影像学的两大类：放射性示踪剂和核磁共振。 具体成像方法由以下缩写词描述：PET（正电子发射断层扫描）、MRI（磁共振成像），包括 fMRI（功能磁共振成像）和 DTI（扩散张量成像）以及 MRS（磁共振波谱）。这些成像方法为神经影像在诊断、治疗和理解神经影像学方面的临床应用提供了真正的希望。 物质滥用和依赖的病理生理学。 然而，这些新方法通常源自复杂的多学科科学，从而为他们的进一步研究创造了具有挑战性的信息障碍。 的开发和在医疗实践中的应用。 拟议计划的目的如下： - 为博士后研究员提供正式的课程培训，重点是成像和临床研究方法，以及其基础多学科科学的指导。 - 为研究员提供指导培训，以将这些新方法应用于跨学科推进我们对大脑在健康、药物滥用和其他精神疾病中的功能的理解。 - 为研究员提供成像应用和方法论方面的综合研究经验。 所有博士后研究员在培训期间都应在应用导师的指导下完成至少一项研究项目，在方法论导师的指导下完成至少一项研究项目。通过将该计划组织为两个规模大致相等的互动轨道：方法论和应用，将增强方法论和成像应用培训的整合。 我们预计方法论领域的大多数博士后研究员将拥有博士学位。学位，以及应用程序轨道中的学位，主要是医学博士学位或博士学位。在神经科学或行为科学中。 每个研究员将有一名小学和中学教师导师来代表这两个方向。
