Program in Recovery and Restoration of CNS Health and Function

项目摘要 我们寻求重新支持我们的高生产力的博士后恢复培训计划， 急性损伤后CNS健康和功能的恢复。该计划的推出恰逢 随着国内和国际上神经恢复研究的快速增长。在当地， 该计划一直处于临床，翻译和研究活动大幅扩展的中心 在神经恢复，包括推出创新的临床奖学金和招聘几个新的 研究人员。此外，该计划还成功地招募了参与者， 通过这一机制直接支持，丰富了教师和博士后的培训经验 伙计们恢复和恢复中枢神经系统健康培训计划的总体目标， 功能仍然是为临床科学家，神经工程师和 计算神经科学家可以继续生产和应用发现， 对脑损伤后幸存的病人的功能。利用地方和国家的机会 对于我们的学员，我们重新设计了计划，以创造一个更集中的环境， 马萨诸塞州总医院和斯波尔丁康复医院的丰富生态系统。中心 神经技术和神经恢复将作为所有研究员的基地。我们招募了一名 杰出的生物统计学家服务于我们的教师和执行委员会谁将监督严格的 实验设计、统计学、量化素养和方法课程。本课程将 这是我们为我们的项目学员明确构建的正式每周研讨会项目的一部分。在 此外，我们设计了职业发展课程，为学员提供以下基本技能： 沟通、拨款、多样性和包容性以及职业发展的所有其他方面。 招聘将侧重于多样性，包括残疾人，妇女和来自不同背景的受训人员 在医学和工程学领域的代表性不足。利用MGH在股权方面的大量投资， 多样性和包容性，我们已将这一专业知识融入执行委员会，教师， 咨询委员会。该计划将继续积极参与一个有成就的，多学科的 教师来自麻醉，工程，计算神经科学，神经病学，神经外科， 物理医学和康复，精神病学和放射学。导师和研究经验将 涵盖四个主题：1）临床研究和临床试验，2）计算神经科学，3）从 神经记录到神经成像，4）神经修复和神经调节。请求支助4 每年培养博士后1名，每人资助2年。学员将花费 至少两年的计划。该计划将结合联合收割机的指导下的研究项目之一， 主题领域，并根据受训者选择的主题领域量身定制具体的课程。

Project Summary We seek renewed support for our highly productive postdoctoral Training program in Recovery and Restoration of CNS Health and Function following acute injury. The launch of this program has coincided with rapid growth in the investigation of neurorecovery nationally and internationally. Locally, this training program has been at the center of a substantial expansion of clinical, translational, and research activities in neurorecovery, including the launch of an innovative clinical fellowship and recruitment of several new research faculty. Furthermore, the program has successfully recruited participants in addition to those supported directly through this mechanism, enriching the training experience for faculty and postdoctoral fellows. The overall goals of the Training program in Recovery and Restoration of CNS Health and Function remain to provide essential research training to clinician-scientists, neuroengineers, and computational neuroscientists who can then go on to produce and apply discoveries that can restore function to patients who survive disabling brain injuries. To harness both local and national opportunities for our trainees, we have redesigned the program to create a more focused environment, anchored in the rich ecosystem of Massachusetts General Hospital and Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital. The Center for Neurotechnology and Neurorecovery will serve as home base for all fellows. We have recruited a distinguished biostatistician to serve on our faculty and executive committee who will oversee a rigorous curriculum in experimental design, statistics, quantitative literacy and approaches. This curriculum will be part of a formal weekly seminar program that we have constructed explicitly for our program trainees. In addition, we have designed a career development curriculum to provide trainees with essential skills in communication, grant-writing, diversity and inclusion, and all other aspects of career development. Recruitment will focus on diversity, including those with disabilities, women and trainees from backgrounds underrepresented in medicine and engineering. Leveraging MGH’s substantial investment in Equity, Diversity and Inclusion, we have integrated this expertise into the Executive Committee, Faculty, and Advisory Committee. The program will continue active participation by an accomplished, multidisciplinary faculty drawn from anesthesia, engineering, computational neuroscience, neurology, neurosurgery, physical medicine and rehabilitation, psychiatry, and radiology. Mentors and research experiences will cover four themes: 1) Clinical Research and Clinical Trials, 2) Computational Neuroscience, 3) From Neural Recording to Neural Imaging, 4) Neural Repair and Neuromodulation. Support is requested for 4 post-doctoral trainees per year, each of whom will be supported for 2 years. Trainees will spend a minimum of 2 years in the program. The program will combine a mentored research project within one of the theme areas with specific coursework tailored to the theme area chosen by the trainee.
