TRAINING IN NEUROENDOCRINOLOGY

该项目的目标是提供优秀的博士后和博士后实习生 广博的知识和当代的研究技能对于 在以下领域制定成功的独立研究计划 神经内分泌学。申请资助四名博士后和两名博士后 用于神经内分泌学培训的博士后。这是它的一个标志 该计划将两个研究生项目的实习生和教职员工联合起来，以 提供了比通过单一的 研究生课程。拟议的培训包括多个层次的分析， 从行为，到生理，到细胞，再到分子。博士前 学员将在完成课程后的第三年进入这个项目。 各自研究生项目的具体课程要求。每个人 学生将同时选择一名主要导师和一名副导师。美国政府的角色 首席导师类似于论文导师的传统角色。这个 联合顾问将确保培训的多学科方面。实习生 将花一部分时间在副顾问的实验室里，使用技术 以及他们的家庭实验室无法提供的解决问题的方法 涉及到自己的论文研究。博士后实习生将得到支持 已经两年了。博士后培训的主要重点是建立一个 良好的研究记录。博士后实习生也将积极 指导学生发展口头陈述、助学金写作和教学技能 确保并保持独立的学术地位所必需的。所有受训人员 将积极参加一系列研讨会、杂志俱乐部和月刊 参与的实验室展示他们的研究成果的会议。一年一度的 研讨会将向受训人员介绍来自世界各地的神经内分泌学家 美国。

The goal of this program is to provide excellent pre- and postdoctoral trainees with the breadth of knowledge and contemporary research skills essential for developing successful independent research programs in the field of neuroendocrinology. Funds are requested for four predoctoral and two postdoctoral students for training in neuroendocrinology. A hallmark of this program is that it unites trainees and faculty from two graduate programs to provide a perspective far broader than what could be obtained through a single graduate program. The proposed training embraces multiple levels of analysis, from behavioral, to physiological, to cellular, to molecular. Predoctoral trainees will enter this program in their third year, after finishing the specific course requirements of their respective graduate programs. Each student will choose both a primary advisor and a co-advisor. The role of the primary advisor is similar to the traditional role of the thesis advisor. The co-advisor will ensure the multidisciplinary aspect of the training. Trainees will spend part of their time in the co-advisor's laboratory, using techniques and approaches not available in their home laboratory to address questions related to their own thesis research. Postdoctoral trainees will be supported for two years. The primary focus of the postdoctoral training is to build a strong research track record. Postdoctoral trainees will also be actively mentored to develop oral presentation, grant writing, and teaching skills necessary to secure and hold an independent academic position. All trainees will actively participate in a series of seminars, journal clubs, and monthly meetings where the participating laboratories present their research. An annual symposium will expose the trainees to neuroendocrinologists from across the U.S.A.
