DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Clinical Neuroengineering Training Program (CNTP) will train individuals to use inter-disciplinary approaches from the engineering-neuroscience interface to solve clinical research problems. We define clinical neuroengineering very broadly to encompass clinical and applied aspects of: neural interfacing, neuroelectronics, neuromechanical systems, neuroinformatics, neuroimaging, neuronal prosthetics, neural functions and performance, neural control, neural tissue regeneration, neural signal processing, neural modeling and neurocomputation. The CNTP will be a interdisciplinary program that builds on existing excellence across 5 colleges while providing trainees a common set of cross-disciplinary experiences. CNTP trainees will enter the program with biology or engineering backgrounds and must fulfill the requirements of an existing Ph.D. program at the University of Wisconsin. These graduate programs will provide the disciplinary excellence that trainees need to become future leaders in their respective fields. The trainee will conduct his/her PhD research on a project sponsored by a faculty trainer from the program with the additional requirement that the thesis committee have at least one faculty member from each of the broad subject areas that makeup the program: neuroscience, engineering/physical science and clinical practice. This process will ensure that the trainees will have a truly interdisciplinary research experience with broad exposure to more than one discipline. A common set of cross-disciplinary experiences will distinguish CNTP trainees from their peers; these will include a clinical neuroengineering-oriented minor course program, participation in a CNTP student seminar program. This training will incorporate appropriate clinical exposure and allow them to develop cutting edge engineering technology and incorporate it with leading neuroscience discoveries in real world clinical applications. Students will receive hands-on experience in a variety of clinical, basic neurobiology, and engineering labs. The clinical experiences will include current medical treatments for diseases such as Parkinson's, ALS, spinal cord injury, Alzheimer's, epilepsy, and peripheral nerve injury. The common experiences of CNTP trainees will ensure that all trainees, regardless of their major Ph.D. program, will be conversant in the neuroscience and engineering principles and clinical questions required to function as cross-disciplinary scientists and engineers in the 21st Century.

描述（由申请人提供）： 临床神经工程培训计划（CNTP）将训练个人使用工程神经科学界面的跨学科方法来解决临床研究问题。 We define clinical neuroengineering very broadly to encompass clinical and applied aspects of: neural interfacing, neuroelectronics, neuromechanical systems, neuroinformatics, neuroimaging, neuronal prosthetics, neural functions and performance, neural control, neural tissue regeneration, neural signal processing, neural modeling and neurocomputation. CNTP将是一个跨学科计划，基于5所大学的现有卓越，同时为受训者提供一系列跨学科的经验。 CNTP受训人员将以生物学或工程背景进入该计划，并且必须满足现有博士学位的要求。威斯康星大学的课程。这些研究生课程将提供卓越的纪律卓越，即受训者需要成为各自领域的未来领导者。学员将对该计划的教职培训师赞助的项目进行博士学位研究，并要求论文委员会至少有一个构成该计划的广泛学科领域的教职员工：神经科学，工程/物理/物理科学和临床实践。该过程将确保学员将拥有真正的跨学科研究经验，并在多个学科中广泛接触。一组常见的跨学科经验将使CNTP受训者与同龄人区分开。这些将包括临床神经工程学的小型课程计划，参加CNTP学生研讨会计划。该培训将结合适当的临床暴露，并使他们能够开发前沿工程技术，并将其与现实世界中的领先的神经科学发现结合在一起。学生将获得各种临床，基本神经生物学和工程实验室的动手经验。临床经验将包括当前的疾病药物治疗，例如帕金森氏症，ALS，脊髓损伤，阿尔茨海默氏症，癫痫和周围神经损伤。 CNTP学员的共同经历将确保所有学员，无论其主要博士学位如何计划将在21世纪充当跨学科科学家和工程师所需的神经科学和工程原理和临床问题中。
