DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal is for a training grant, "Translational Research in Neurobiology of Disease", at the University of Minnesota. Trainees of this program are 1) graduate students who are pursuing a Ph.D. degree through the Graduate Program in Neuroscience, 2) postdoctoral fellows, and 3) clinical fellows. The challenge is to train basic neuroscientists who will have an appreciation for clinically relevant problems, and to train clinicians who have an appreciation of the fundamental principals of tools of basic science so that they can work together and accelerate the pace of translational neuroscience. The proposed training program funds predoctoral students during their second year in the Graduate Program in Neuroscience after they have committed to the translational neuroscience track. Postdoctoral fellows and clinical fellows can be funded at any point in their training, but must be committed to training in translational neuroscience. The training program is built around a core of didactic course work that includes a course in Neurobiology of Disease, and a Neuroscience Laboratory summer course for all trainees. These courses are designed to produce a dialog and interactions among basic and clinical neuroscientists to facilitate translational research. A group of over 37 trainers are proposed that reflects the diversity of research techniques in basic and clinical neuroscience, but with a thematic focus on neural degeneration and repair. Research interests range from molecular mechanisms underlying neurodegenerative disorders to therapies involving stem cells and recombinant DNA. Each trainer directs a productive research program and has demonstrated commitment to teaching and training. Representing 11 departments throughout the university, the trainers are united by their participation in the Graduate Program in Neuroscience and translational neuroscience research. The trainees will be provided with a strong, broad foundation in basic and clinical neurosciences upon which to build their translational research careers.

描述（由申请人提供）： 该建议是在明尼苏达大学的培训补助金“疾病神经​​生物学的转化研究”。该计划的学员是1）正在攻读博士学位的研究生。通过神经科学研究生课程的学位，2）博士后研究员和3）临床研究员。面临的挑战是培训基本的神经科学家，他们将对临床相关问题表示赞赏，并培训对基础科学工具基本原理的临床医生培训，以便他们可以一起工作并加速转化神经科学的步伐。拟议的培训计划在致力于转化神经科学轨道之后，在神经科学的研究生课程的第二年中为学生提供了资金。博士后研究员和临床研究员可以在培训的任何时刻资助，但必须致力于转化神经科学的培训。该培训计划围绕着教学课程的核心构建，其中包括疾病神经生物学课程，以及为所有学员提供神经科学实验室夏季课程。这些课程旨在在基本和临床神经科学家之间产生对话和相互作用，以促进转化研究。提出了一组37多名培训师，反映了基本和临床神经科学中研究技术的多样性，但主题关注神经退化和修复。研究兴趣的范围从神经退行性疾病的分子机制到涉及干细胞和重组DNA的疗法。每个培训师都指导一项富有成效的研究计划，并表现出对教学和培训的承诺。代表整个大学的11个部门，培训师通过参加神经科学和转化神经科学研究的研究生课程而团结起来。学员将在基本和临床神经科学领域拥有坚实，宽阔的基础，以建立其转化研究职业。
