DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this training program is to produce students with a broad multi-disciplinary background that enables them to use a variety of approaches to solve important problems in the field of neurobiology. To this end, students complete courses that span neurobiology from the neuroanatomical, neurophysiological, and developmental to the cellular, molecular and behavioral. Formal course work is augmented by weekly seminars, journal clubs, and ah annual retreat. A group of 48 trainers provide excellent opportunities for students to pursue their diverse research interests with experienced and skilled mentors. Since our last submission, the number of applicants to-Neurobiology has doubled an increase that has not been reflected in the number of training grant slots. We are therefore requesting that the number of positions on this training grant be increased to 12, to keep up with our recent and projected growth.

描述（由申请人提供）：该培训计划的目标是培养具有广泛多学科背景的学生，使他们能够使用各种方法解决神经生物学领域的重要问题。为此，学生完成了从神经解剖学、神经生理学和发育到细胞、分子和行为的神经生物学课程。正式的课程工作被每周的研讨会、期刊俱乐部和一年一度的静修所充实。由48名培训师组成的团队为学生提供了极好的机会，让他们与经验丰富、技术娴熟的导师一起追求他们不同的研究兴趣。自从我们上次提交以来，神经生物学的申请人数翻了一番，但这并没有反映在培训拨款的数量上。因此，我们要求将这项培训补助金的职位增加到12个，以跟上我们最近和预计的增长。
