DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is the competing renewal for the ongoing postdoctoral training program at Drexel University College of Medicine focused on the biological bases of nervous system disorders. The objective of the program is to provide trainees with the perspectives and skills needed to prepare them for independent careers in neurobiological research. We request support for four fellows, who will have either the Ph.D. or M.D. degree. The program will provide opportunities for multidisciplinary research projects in the laboratories of both basic and clinical scientists and exposure to a wide variety of experimental and clinical issues. The program is broadly-based, and consists of four focal groups that are highly interactive with one another. The first group focuses on cellular and developmental neurobiology; the second group on systems and behavioral neurobiology, the third group on spinal cord and regeneration; and the fourth group on neuroengineering. There are a total of 10 senior level faculty members who will act as the primary training faculty. There are an additional 8 junior level faculty members who will also act as trainers, under the supervision of the senior faculty. The entire participating faculty, both senior and junior, is funded by the NIH, well published, and active in both research and training. In addition, there is an abundance of clinical researchers at three different hospitals within our university system who will participate in the training of the fellows. In addition to the primary relationship between a trainee and the mentor, there are a number of activities that ensure a broad exposure to the issues and techniques of modern neurobiology. These include courses developed around the four focal groups, journal clubs and seminars, research conferences and shared laboratory facilities. The progress of each trainee will be formally reviewed regularly and monitored constantly, through research meetings and seminars. This process assures full access to the various disciplines and perspectives available in the program.

描述（由申请人提供）： 该应用程序是Drexel大学医学院正在进行的博士后培训计划的竞争续约，该计划侧重于神经系统疾病的生物学基础。该计划的目的是为学员提供为神经生物学研究中的独立职业做准备所需的观点和技能。我们要求对四名研究员的支持，他们将拥有博士学位。或医学博士学位。该计划将为基础科学家和临床科学家实验室的多学科研究项目提供机会，并暴露于各种实验和临床问题。该程序基于广泛的基础，由四个相互交互的焦点组成。第一组专注于细胞和发育神经生物学。第二组系统和行为神经生物学，第三组脊髓和再生组；以及关于神经工程的第四组。共有10名高级教职员工将担任主要培训教师。在高级教师的监督下，还有另外8位初级教职员工，也将担任培训师。整个参与的教师，包括高级和初中的教师，由NIH资助，发表良好，并活跃于研究和培训中。此外，我们大学系统中三家不同医院的临床研究人员大量，他们将参加研究员的培训。除了学员和导师之间的主要关系外，还有许多活动可以确保广泛接触现代神经生物学的问题和技术。其中包括围绕四个重点团体，期刊俱乐部和研讨会，研究会议和共享实验室设施开发的课程。每个学员的进度将通过研究会议和研讨会正式进行正式审查，并不断监控。此过程可确保完全访问程序中可用的各种学科和观点。
