项目摘要

Project Summary The goal of this training program entitled “Predoctoral Training at the Interface of Brain, Body, and Behavior” (BBB) at Brandeis University is to produce a new generation of scientists equipped to discover the mechanisms of a broad range of healthy and clinically disordered mental and behavioral functions by applying both the core concepts and methods of psychology and the interface of these methods with neuroscience and biomedical research. This new application under NIGMS PAR-17- 341 builds on a T32 program that is expiring after ten years of NIGMS support. Neuroscience at Brandeis is an umbrella for extensive overlap of Psychology and Biology faculty, but co-training of PhD students has thus far been prohibited by differences between the Psychology and Neuroscience graduate programs. The old BBB program supported Psychology PhD students and provided them with supplementary training in neuroscience and biomedicine, and the new BBB proposes to support both Psychology and Neuroscience PhD students and to give them complementary co-training in each other’s disciplines. Psychology appointees will be supported in years 1 and 2 and Neuroscience students in years 2 and 3, but all will engage in BBB activities from year 1 to graduation. The old BBB training grant had 3 NIGMS slots, and the new BBB proposes 4 NIGMS slots evenly divided between the Psychology and Neuroscience, supplemented by one additional slot pledged by Brandeis University. Psychology and Neuroscience have mutually revised their PhD programs such that BBB students can satisfy departmental course electives with BBB-specific classes from the other program. Additional required BBB co-training students includes research mentoring in the same laboratories, research rotations, a common module for training in rigor and reproducibility, coordinated journal clubs, and joint colloquia. These BBB requirements, departmental requirements, and enhancement activities are designed to provide students broad and deep training on specific bio-behavioral problems and quantitative training in research implementation and rigor as well as mentoring in how to develop, communicate, and fund an independent scientific program. The training faculty include 12 members with primary appointments in Psychology and 7 in Biology, all of whom are members of the Volen National Center for Complex Systems which houses the Neuroscience PhD program. One of the Psychology BBB faculty is a non-tenure track specialist who teaches and advises students on statistics and research design, with a special emphasis on methods of rigor and reproducibility. Another major aim of our program is to grow by attracting and fostering a diverse group of students. Over the past 10 years, 21% of students in the Psychology BBB program have been under-represented minorities, and the Neuroscience program has enrolled 13-20% URMs per year, and we aim to continue this trend.

项目摘要这项培训计划的目标，题为“在大脑，身体和布兰迪斯大学的“行为”（BBB）是为了培养新一代的科学家，发现广泛的健康和临床精神和行为障碍的机制通过应用心理学的核心概念和方法以及这些概念和方法的界面，神经科学和生物医学研究的方法。NIGMS PAR-17下的新应用程序- 341建立在T32计划的基础上，该计划在NIGMS支持十年后到期。神经科学布兰代斯是心理学和生物学教师广泛重叠的保护伞，但共同培养博士迄今为止，由于心理学和神经科学之间的差异，研究生课程。旧的BBB计划支持心理学博士生，并为他们提供在神经科学和生物医学的补充培训，新的BBB建议支持心理学和神经科学博士生，并给予他们互补的共同培训，在每个别人的纪律。心理学被任命者将在1年和2年和神经科学支持学生在第二年和第三年，但所有将从事BBB活动，从第一年到毕业。老BBB 培训补助金有3个NIGMS插槽，新的BBB建议将4个NIGMS插槽平均分配给心理学和神经科学，由布兰迪斯承诺的一个额外的位置补充大学心理学和神经科学已经相互修改了他们的博士课程，这样BBB 学生可以满足部门课程选修与BBB特定类从其他程序。额外要求的BBB共同培训学生包括在同一实验室的研究指导，研究轮换，严格性和可重复性培训的共同模块，协调的期刊俱乐部，和联合座谈会。这些BBB要求、部门要求和增强活动旨在为学生提供关于特定生物行为问题的广泛而深入的培训，研究实施和严谨性方面的定量培训，以及如何开发，交流，并资助一个独立的科学项目。培训教师包括12名成员主要任命在心理学和7在生物学，所有这些都是Volen的成员国家复杂系统中心，设有神经科学博士课程。之一心理学BBB教师是一个非终身制的轨道专家谁教和建议学生统计和研究设计，特别强调方法的严谨性和可重复性。另一个主要我们计划的目的是通过吸引和培养多样化的学生群体来成长。过去10 多年来，心理学BBB课程中21%的学生是代表性不足的少数民族，神经科学计划每年招收13-20%的URM，我们的目标是继续这一趋势。
