Multidisciplinary Training in Neuroscience

描述（由申请人提供）：我们请求继续支持俄勒冈州健康与科学大学（OHSU）的神经科学多学科培训计划。该计划，这是即将进入第十五个年头，提供基础广泛，早期培训的学生在OHSU的两个博士授予神经科学计划，神经科学研究生课程和行为神经科学研究生课程。这些课程总共招收了大约70名学生。我们提出的培训计划是基于一个强大的核心课程，提供了一个共同的知识基础，为随后的培训在课堂上，并在板凳上，以及广泛和各种各样的研究机会，只要学生进入程序开始。我们的75名科学家的培训教师提供的研究机会， 范围从神经细胞功能的基础研究到针对神经系统疾病的转化研究计划。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。在OHSU发展的合议精神，结合其许多研究机构的多样性和基础和临床研究设施的紧密联系，为博士前学生提供了一个独特的机会，在他们的培训期间形成跨学科的合作，并获得对神经科学研究在神经疾病治疗中日益重要的认识。

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.
