NIDA Training Program in Neuroscience

项目总结 NIDA神经科学博士前培训项目于#年在密歇根大学成立 1995年。该培训计划由一名主任和联席主任管理，旨在招聘、发展和 提高学生对药物滥用的神经生物学相关研究的兴趣。有资格获得支持 根据NIDA培训计划，学生必须首先获得进入现有UM研究生课程的许可 生物、生物医学和自然科学，如跨部门神经科学研究生计划， 生物心理学课程，或药理学系研究生课程。获提名的学生 NIDA神经科学培训计划的支持是根据两个标准选择的：1)学术 资历和推荐信(即学术成就)，以及，2)其学习计划和 对NIDA任务的研究兴趣。在被选入NIDA神经科学培训项目后， 学生攻读神经科学方面的课程，包括一门关于 药物滥用的神经精神药理学及与之相关的NIDA系列研讨会 培训计划教职员工。此外，现在和过去的受训人员参加定期的期刊俱乐部、系列研讨会和 由这笔拨款支持的网络活动，以培养社区意识并保持学生对 药物滥用研究贯穿了他们的论文工作。NIDA有14名核心教职员工 神经科学培训计划，所有这些计划目前都由NIDA资助，并进行与 物质滥用的神经生物学基础。核心培训计划的教职员工发生了变化 自上一个供资周期以来，随着三名逐步退休的教职员工被撤职， 还有两名已经离开密歇根大学的学生。新增了四名核心教职员工。在……里面 此外，还增加了7个“初级学院附属机构”；将寻求NIDA的早期助理教授 资金问题。所有教职员工都有以前的指导经验，并且有一个针对更高级的教师的计划 教师担任共同导师，丰富学员的辅导经验。此外，教职员工 参加本培训计划的有150多名神经科学研究生计划教员，他们是 参与培训的许多方面，以及拉克姆研究生院，它提供了许多 旨在加强导师与学员之间的关系并提供支持和高效环境的计划 实习生。总而言之，我们培训计划的悠久历史、董事职位以及由 密歇根大学及其附属项目使我们处于实现主要目标的绝佳地位 这笔培训补助金。也就是说，为从事研究的学员提供必要的基础设施和支持 与药物滥用的神经生物学有关的兴趣，因为他们正在攻读博士学位 神经科学或相关领域。

PROJECT SUMMARY The predoctoral NIDA Training Program in Neuroscience was founded at the University of Michigan (UM) in 1995. This Training Program is administered by a Director and Co-Director, and aims to recruit, develop and enhance student interest in research related to the neurobiology of substance abuse. To be eligible for support by the NIDA Training Program students must first gain admittance to an existing UM graduate program in the biological, biomedical and natural sciences, such as the interdepartmental Neuroscience Graduate Program, the Biopsychology Program, or the Department of Pharmacology Graduate Program. Students nominated for support by the NIDA Training Program in Neuroscience are selected on the basis of two criteria: 1) academic qualifications and references (i.e. academic excellence) and, 2) the relevance of their program of study and research interests to the NIDA mission. After selection for the NIDA Training Program in Neuroscience, students pursue a program of study in the neurosciences, including a required course on the neuropsychopharmacology of substance abuse and an accompanying seminar series involving the NIDA Training Program faculty. In addition, current and past trainees attend regular journal clubs, seminar series and networking events supported by this grant to foster a sense of community and maintain student interest in substance abuse research throughout their dissertation work. There are 14 core faculty members for the NIDA Training Program in Neuroscience, all of whom are currently funded by NIDA and conduct research related to the neurobiological basis of substance abuse. The core Training Program faculty members have changed since the prior funding cycle, with the removal of three faculty members who are phasing towards retirement, and two who have left the University of Michigan. Four new core faculty members have been added. In addition, 7 “Junior Faculty Affiliates” have been added; early Assistant Professors who will be seeking NIDA funding. All faculty members have prior mentoring experience, and there is a plan in place for more senior faculty to serve as co-mentors to enrich the mentoring experience for the trainees. Furthermore, the faculty affiliated with this Training Program are assisted by over 150 Neuroscience Graduate Program Faculty who are involved in many aspects of the training, as well as the Rackham Graduate School which offers a number of programs to enhance mentor-mentee relationships and provide a supportive and productive environment for trainees. Together, the long history of our Training Program, the Directorship, and the resources provided by the University of Michigan and affiliated programs puts us in an excellent position to accomplish the major goal of this training grant. That is, to provide the necessary infrastructure and support for trainees pursuing research interests related to the neurobiology of substance abuse as they work towards their doctoral degree in neuroscience or a related field.
