Advanced Multimodal Neuroimaging Training Grant

描述（由申请人提供）：“高级多模式神经影像学培训计划”的更新申请寻求通过链接机构博士前培训和短期研究教育组件继续支持神经影像学综合培训。该计划的目标是培养一批新的科学家，他们专注于基础和临床神经科学领域，并拥有必要的物理科学知识，计算技能和熟悉团队科学，以最佳定位他们使用和开发神经成像工具的主要贡献。该项目旨在通过基于项目的联合导师制促进神经成像领域的跨学科互动，该项目依赖于哈佛大学心理学系、哈佛医学院神经科学项目、哈佛-麻省理工学院健康科学与技术部、麻省理工学院脑与认知科学系以及Athinoula A.马萨诸塞州总医院马蒂诺生物医学成像中心。这个多层次的培训计划将来自不同背景的学员团结在一个共同的学习社区中，包括博士前培训以及短期教育计划，该计划支持为期2周的多模态成像短期课程，并为其他职业阶段的个人提供指导研究培训机会（例如，博士后研究员、医学生和住院医生），他们需要接触先进神经成像工具的技术和应用并接受额外的教育。通过短期课程，我们能够将神经影像学培训扩展到传统研究生教育的范围之外。博士前培训计划的学员来自哈佛和麻省理工学院的研究生课程，并在主要导师和具有互补专业知识的共同导师的共同监督下开展研究项目。受训人员在任期内参加额外的课程，并参加AMNTP系列研讨会和其他必要的方案活动。短期研究教育计划为处于职业发展各个阶段的科学家提供了重要的外展教育机会。研究教育部分的核心是与受训者所在领域的高级研究员进行配对指导，并有机会延长停留时间，以参与实践研究经验。通过培训这些团体了解神经成像方法的基础，并有效地应用它们来解决神经科学的基本原则，该计划的最终目标是用工具和基础神经科学的广泛知识武装整个职业范围的个人和技术和体内神经成像的分析方法，以解决神经科学中的关键问题。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application for renewal of the "The Advanced Multimodal Neuroimaging Training Program" seeks continued support for integrated training in neuroimaging through linked Institutional Predoctoral Training and Short-term Research Education components. The goal of the program is to prepare a new cadre of scientists who are focused in the areas of basic and clinical neuroscience and possess the necessary physical science knowledge, computational skills, and familiarity with team science to optimally position them for major contributions using and developing the tools of neuroimaging. Designed to facilitate interdisciplinary interactions in neuroimaging through project-based joint mentorship, the program rests on collaboration between faculty members in the Department of Psychology at Harvard University, the Program in Neuroscience at Harvard Medical School, the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology, the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences at MIT, and the Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging at Massachusetts General Hospital. Uniting trainees from diverse backgrounds in a common learning community, this multi-level training program includes predoctoral training as well as a short-term educational program that supports a 2-week Multimodal Imaging Short Course and mentored research training opportunities for individuals at other career stages (e.g., postdoctoral fellows, medical students and residents) who require exposure to and additional education in the technology and application of advanced neuroimaging tools. Through the short course, we are able to extend neuroimaging training beyond the context of traditional graduate-level education. Trainees in the pre-doctoral training program are drawn from Harvard and MIT graduate programs, and carry out research projects jointly supervised by the primary mentor and a co-mentor with complementary expertise. Trainees take additional coursework during the appointment term and attend an AMNTP seminar series and other required programmatic activities. The short-term research education program provides important outreach educational opportunities for scientists at various stages of career development. Central to the research education component is paired mentorship with a senior researcher in the trainee's domain, and opportunities for extended stays to engage in hands-on research experiences. By training these groups to understand the bases of neuroimaging methods and apply them effectively to address the fundamental principles of neuroscience, the ultimate goal of this program is to arm individuals across the career spectrum with the tools and broad-based knowledge of the fundamental neuroscience and the technologies and analytic methods of in vivo neuroimaging to address crucial questions in neuroscience.
