项目摘要

Project Summary This proposal describes the continuation of the Training Program in the Neuroscience of Human Cognition. A group of 23 faculty preceptors—investigating perception, attention, memory, emotion, problem solving, language, pain, sleep, motor control, and cognitive control—has been assembled to participate in training the next generation of cognitive neuroscientists at Northwestern University. The training program is led by Ken Paller (Director), Christina Zelano (Associate Director), and an Internal Steering Committee, with annual input from members of an External Advisory Committee. Pre- and postdoctoral trainees are selected through a highly competitive process on the basis of factors including prior scientific training, proposed research, scientific potential. Funding from the Northwestern Graduate School supports Affiliate Trainees (at least 3 per year) who also participate in the program. Trainees conduct their research under the guidance of one or more preceptors affiliated with many different departments and centers within the university. To provide thorough training in all facets of cognitive neuroscience, the training program brings together a diverse set of perspectives to facilitate a broad range of methodological, computational, and theoretical endeavors. Exceptional opportunities are provided for trainees to learn from and closely interact with local and visiting faculty members, and with other trainees, in the service of expanding their capacity for rigorous and creative research on the neural substrates of cognition and associated translational opportunities. Trainees gain from frequent in-depth research discussions with a network of scientists outside their home lab, including regular presentations and critique of their own work. Trainees often bridge the distinct areas of expertise of two mentors through novel interdisciplinary collaborations, expanding their breadth of training. Concerted efforts focus on inclusiveness, including historically marginalized groups, and fostering a diversity of perspectives, which enriches the whole program. This T32 mechanism solidifies a community for all involved in human cognitive neuroscience at the university, while facilitating novel research orientations and innovative strategies. Value-added benefits for trainees include a rich array of activities that supplement standard research training, allowing them to expand their training beyond lab and departmental boundaries in ways that would otherwise not be possible. The community fosters training in specific research skills, while also supplying relevant knowledge to help trainees gain independence and become better scientists. Faculty monitor this training through formal advising, written and oral scientific communication, regular evaluations, and with attention to all aspects of career development. A chief goal of the program is to provide top-rated comprehensive training to young scientists who will become future innovators and leaders in human cognitive neuroscience, contribute to NIH research, and ultimately bring their skills to bear on a variety of scientific endeavors pertinent to health and disease.

项目摘要本提案描述了人类认知神经科学培训计划的延续。一个由23名教师组成的小组，调查感知、注意力、记忆、情感、解决问题的能力，语言，疼痛，睡眠，运动控制和认知控制-已组装参加培训西北大学的下一代认知神经科学家培训计划由以下人员领导： Ken Paller（董事）、Christina Zelano（副董事）和内部指导委员会，外部咨询委员会成员的年度投入。选择博士前和博士后培训生通过一个高度竞争的过程中的基础上的因素，包括事先的科学培训，提出研究，科学潜力。来自西北研究生院的资金支持附属培训生（在每年至少有3人参加该计划。学员在以下指导下进行研究：一个或多个导师隶属于大学内的许多不同部门和中心。到提供认知神经科学各个方面的全面培训，培训计划汇集了多样化的观点，以促进广泛的方法，计算和理论努力为学员提供了特殊的机会，向当地人学习并与他们密切互动。和访问教师，并与其他学员，在扩大他们的能力，严格的服务，以及对认知的神经基质和相关翻译机会的创造性研究。学员们从与家庭以外的科学家网络进行的频繁深入的研究讨论中获益实验室，包括定期报告和批评自己的工作。受训者经常在不同的领域之间架起桥梁，通过新颖的跨学科合作，两名导师的专业知识，扩大他们的培训广度。协调一致的努力侧重于包容性，包括历史上被边缘化的群体，多样的视角，丰富了整个节目。这种T32机制巩固了社区，所有参与人类认知神经科学在大学，同时促进新的研究方向，和创新战略。为学员提供的增值福利包括丰富的活动，标准的研究培训，使他们能够将培训扩展到实验室和部门之外以其他方式是不可能的。社区促进具体研究技能的培训，同时也提供相关知识，帮助学员获得独立，成为更好的科学家。教师通过正式的建议，书面和口头的科学交流，定期监测这种培训评价，并注意职业发展的各个方面。该计划的主要目标是为未来的创新者和领导者提供一流的综合培训在人类认知神经科学，有助于美国国立卫生研究院的研究，并最终把他们的技能承担在一个与健康和疾病有关的各种科学努力。
