Multidisciplinary Training in Neuroscience

描述(由申请者提供)：我们请求继续支持俄勒冈健康与科学大学(OHSU)的神经科学多学科培训计划。该项目即将进入第15个年头，为OHSU的两个授予博士学位的神经科学项目--神经科学研究生项目和行为神经科学研究生项目--的学生提供基础广泛的早期培训。这些项目总共招收了大约70名学生。我们建议的培训计划以强大的核心课程为基础，该课程为随后的课堂和工作台培训提供了共同的知识基础，以及广泛和多样化的研究机会，只要学生进入该计划就开始了。我们由75名科学家组成的培训教师提供了研究机会 范围从神经细胞功能的基础研究到针对神经系统疾病的翻译研究计划。通过研讨会和个人指导，该计划还提供科学沟通技能和职业发展方面的指导。OHSU发展出的合作精神，加上其众多研究机构的多样性以及基础和临床研究设施的临近，为博士生在培训期间形成跨学科合作提供了独特的机会，并认识到神经科学研究在神经疾病治疗中日益重要。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We request continued support for the Multidisciplinary Training Program in Neuroscience at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU). The program, which is about to enter its fifteenth year, offers broad-based, early stage training for students in OHSU's two PhD-granting neuroscience programs, the Neuroscience Graduate Program and the Behavioral Neuroscience Graduate Program. Together these programs enroll about 70 students. The program of training we propose is based on a strong core curriculum that provides a common knowledge base for subsequent training in the classroom and at the bench, together with extensive and varied opportunities for research, beginning as soon as students enter the program. Our training faculty of 75 scientists offer research opportunities that range from fundamental studies of nerve cell function to translational research programs that target nervous system disorders. Through workshops and individual instruction, the program also provides instruction in scientific communication skills and career development. The spirit of collegiality that has developed at OHSU combined with the diversity of its many research institutes and the close proximity of basic and clinical research facilities provide a unique opportunity for predoctoral students to form cross-disciplinary collaborations during their trainin and to gain an appreciation for the growing importance of neuroscience research in the treatment of neural disease.
