Training for Integrative Neuroscience in Health and Disease

描述(由申请人提供)：项目摘要：健康与疾病综合神经科学培训计划旨在为博士后和博士后研究员提供广泛的培训。我们的目标是：1)培养对神经科学各个子领域有广泛了解和了解的神经科学家；2)为加入具有不同智力和/或实验专长的实验室的合作研究项目提供资金支持。该计划建立在新泽西医学和牙科大学与纽瓦克的罗格斯大学之间为期5年的联合计划的基础上。因此，学员将可以使用这两所学校的设施，以及它们提供的基础科学和临床研讨会和课程。培训人员在神经科学、生物学和神经学的各个方面都有专业知识。这两个机构正在进行的研究的广度将确保接触到多种实验方法和多名导师。此外，在整个项目中，不同子领域的研究人员都有有意的机会进行互动。尽管教师在成功指导方面经验丰富，但该项目将有博士前和博士后导师，以及学生和博士后代表，以确保高质量的指导、令人满意的培训经验和成功的职业发展。博士后事务办公室将加强博士后培训。我们要求每年资助2名博士后研究员，并在以后每年的1年级和3年级资助2名博士后研究员。每名受训人员将得到两年的资助，在此期间，他们将在申请研究金或其他赠款支助方面得到协助。将强烈和积极地鼓励出席和介绍研究会议、参与教学活动、提交出版物以及同行和同事的支持。相关性：这笔赠款将培训神经科学家，他们将研究包括退行性疾病、药物成瘾、肥胖症、癫痫、疼痛、语言和学习障碍在内的所有神经系统疾病。它促进了从行为学到分子神经生物学的神经科学所有领域之间的相互作用，以刺激创新和治疗突破。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Project Summary: The training program in Integrative Neuroscience in Health and Disease is designed to provide broad-based training for both pre- and postdoctoral fellows. Our goals are to 1) train neuroscientists who have a broad understanding and acquaintance with the sub-fields of neuroscience and 2) provide financial support to collaborative research projects that join laboratories with differing intellectual and/or experimental expertise. The program builds upon a 5 year joint program between the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey and Rutgers University in Newark. Trainees, therefore, will have access to the facilities of both schools, which lie within 5 blocks of one another, and the basic science and clinical seminars and courses which they offer. The training faculty has expertise in all aspects of neuroscience, biology, and neurology. The breadth of the research ongoing in the two institutions will ensure exposure to multiple experimental approaches and multiple mentors. Additionally, there are intentional opportunities throughout the program for researchers in different sub-fields to interact. Although the faculty is experienced in successful mentoring, the program will have advisors for both pre- and post-doctorates, as well as student and postdoctoral representatives to ensure a high quality of supervision, a fulfilling training experience, and successful career advancement. Postdoctoral training will be enhanced by the Office of Postdoctoral Affairs. We are requesting support for 2 pre-doctoral fellows each year and 2 postdoctoral fellows in year 1 and 3 in each year thereafter. Each trainee will be supported for 2 years during which time they will be assisted in applying for fellowships or other grant support. Attendance and presentation at research meetings, participation in teaching activities, submission of publications and support of peers and colleagues will be strongly and actively encouraged. Relevance: This grant will train neuroscientists who will work on the entire breadth of neurological disease including degenerations, drug addiction, obesity, epilepsy, pain and language and learning disorders. It promotes interaction among all the fields of neuroscience from behavior to molecular neurobiology to stimulate innovative and therapeutic breakthroughs.
