Systems Physiology Training Program

描述（由申请人提供）：系统生理学培训补助金（STG）将支持一项计划，通过原创，动手研究和正式课程的结合，为最合格的博士生在综合神经科学领域的专业研究生涯做好准备。学员和他们的导师在俄勒冈州大学的生物学系、人类生理学系（原运动科学系）和心理学系都有预约。他们的研究项目涵盖了从人类到线虫的各种模型系统，并采用了各种技术，包括电生理学，神经成像，分子生物学，心理物理学和计算建模。尽管如此，受训人员，无论其部门隶属关系，经验的一套共同的要求和活动，旨在建立一个跨部门和学科线互动的学生群体。我们的目的是，这些学生将继续在他们的研究生生涯中互动，相互丰富他们的研究工作与新的想法和观点。持续的资金要求是在大约50名学生的神经科学研究生课程中的8名博士前学员，其中40名有资格获得培训补助金支持。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Systems Physiology Training Grant (STG) will support a program to prepare the most qualified doctoral students for professional research careers in integrative neuroscience through a combination of original, hands-on research, and formal courses. The trainees and their mentors have appointments in the Department of Biology, Department of Human Physiology (formerly Exercise and Movement Science), and Department of Psychology at the University of Oregon. Their research programs span diverse model systems from humans to nematodes and employ a variety of techniques including electrophysiology, neural imaging, molecular biology, psychophysics, and computational modeling. Nevertheless, the trainees, regardless of their departmental affiliations, experience a common set of requirements and activities designed to establish a cohort of students that interact across departmental and disciplinary lines. Our intention is that these students will continue to interact throughout their graduate career, mutually enriching their research efforts with novel ideas and perspectives. The continued funding requested is for 8 predoctoral trainees within a neuroscience graduate program of approximately 50 students, of whom 40 are eligible for training grant support.
