Translational Neuroscience Postdoctoral Training Program

描述(由申请人提供)：这份修订后的申请请求支持翻译神经科学研究的培训计划。翻译研究是将通过基础科学研究产生的想法、见解和发现应用于治疗或预防人类疾病的过程。该计划的主要目标是吸引和培训对学习基本神经科学技术感兴趣的有才华和积极性的个人，使他们能够进行将对神经系统疾病的预防、修改或治疗产生重大影响的研究。该计划将支持在基础广泛的跨学科研究培训计划中培训博士后研究员(M.D.、M.D./Ph.D.或D.O)。最理想的人选是接受过神经学、神经外科或精神病学的临床培训，并希望在翻译神经科学研究方面投入两年的高强度培训。培训计划将在达特茅斯神经科学中心(NCD)内进行，这是一个新的、独特的跨学科组织，其使命是促进神经科学教育中的协作和互动研究。NCD教员的愿景是创造和传播新知识，并通过这样做来培养下一代神经科学家。博士后研究员将在教师赞助商的指导下从事研究，并将通过与其他教师和研究员的定期互动，通过NCD和达特茅斯医学院组织的神经科学会议、研讨会和课程，拓宽他们的研究经验。此外，该项目的教职员工和受训人员与达特茅斯国立卫生研究院赞助的其他培训项目的教职员工和学生密切互动。虽然这是一个新成立的神经科学中心的新申请的重新提交，但参与这个项目的NCD的个人成员都在研究、教学和指导博士后和博士后学生方面都有很好的记录。临床和基础科学教员之间的密切关系，教员的活力，以及达特茅斯大学的学术环境，使这一项目极有可能取得成功。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This revised application requests support for a training program in translational neuroscience research. Translational research is the process of applying ideas, insights, and discoveries generated through basic scientific inquiry to the treatment or prevention of human disease. The major goal of the program is to attract and train talented and motivated individuals interested in learning basic neuroscience techniques that will allow them to conduct research that will have a major impact on neurological disease prevention, modification, or cure. The program will support training post-doctoral fellows (M.D., M.D./Ph.D. or D.O) in a broadly based interdisciplinary research training program. The ideal candidate will be one who has received clinical training in neurology, neurosurgery, or psychiatry and wishes to devote two years to intense training in translational neuroscience research. The training program will occur within the Neuroscience Center at Dartmouth (NCD), a new and unique interdisciplinary group whose mission is to foster collaborative and interactive research in education in the neurosciences. It is the vision of the NCD faculty to produce and disseminate new knowledge and, in doing so, train the next generation of neuroscientists. Post-doctoral fellows will be engaged in research under the tutelage of a faculty sponsor and will have their research experience broadened by regular interactions with other faculty and fellows through conferences, seminars, and courses in neuroscience organized by the NCD and Dartmouth Medical School. In addition, the program faculty and trainees interact closely with faculty and students in other NIH- sponsored training programs at Dartmouth. While this is a resubmission of a new application for a newly created neuroscience center, individual members of the NCD participating in this program all have strong records in research, teaching, and mentoring of pre-doctoral and post-doctoral students. The close relationship between the clinical and basic science faculty, the vigor of the faculty, and the academic environment at Dartmouth makes it highly likely this will be a successful program.
