DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overall objective of this T32 Predoctoral Training Grant is to provide rigorous research training in the behavioral and biomedical sciences to students planning careers as independent investigators. The goal is to develop the next generation of scientists with the background and skills to conduct behavioral research utilizing a wide range of experimental approaches and incorporating biochemical, molecular, and genetic analyses. The research training program in Behavioral and Biomedical Sciences (BBS) engages experienced faculty preceptors and builds upon established Biomedical, Psychology, and Public Health Ph.D. programs at WVU. We have recruited outstanding, NRSA-eligible students, and have been providing them with high quality training in behavioral and biomedical research. T32 support will allow us to formalize this training program and increase the number of students we can accept into this value-added training initiative. The BBS Steering Committee appoints students to this T32 based on merit - considering their academic qualifications, interest in behavioral research, and commitment to interdisciplinary research training. Focused behavioral and biomedical research training is achieved by: 1) supervised research under the direction of a BBS faculty preceptor; 2) BBS-specific core courses - Integrated Analysis of Brain Structure and Function, Experimental Analysis of Behavior, Biostatistics and Bioinformatics, and Epidemiology; 3) BBS Journal Club and Seminar programs; and 4) Research Practicum, which provides students with additional, hands-on research experience through rotations with faculty preceptors engaged in behavioral research utilizing approaches and methodologies different from their own. Student progress is evaluated by the Director and Steering Committee, not only while in the program, but on a regular basis following graduation. This permits measurement of trainees' research productivity, career trajectories, and accomplishments; it also provides guidance for improving the program for current and future trainees. The success of the BBS program in meeting its training goals is evaluated by Internal and External Advisory Committees, which examine student recruitment and retention, quality of training, and success of graduates in developing as independent scientists addressing complex behavioral and biomedical problems of clinical and public health importance.

描述（由申请人提供）：该T32培训前培训赠款的总体目标是为计划职业的学生作为独立研究人员提供严格的研究培训。目的是开发具有背景和技能的下一代科学家，利用广泛的实验方法进行行为研究，并结合生化，分子和遗传分析。行为和生物医学科学（BBS）的研究培训计划参与经验丰富的教职员工，并建立在既定的生物医学，心理学和公共卫生博士学位上。 WVU的程序。我们已经招募了杰出的NRSA资格学生，并为他们提供了行为和生物医学研究的高质量培训。 T32的支持将使我们能够正式化该培训计划，并增加我们可以接受的学生人数，以达到这一增值培训计划。 BBS指导委员会根据功绩任命学生参加此T32 - 考虑他们的学历，对行为研究的兴趣以及对跨学科研究培训的承诺。专注的行为和生物医学研究培训是通过以下方式实现的：1）在BBS教职员工的指导下进行监督研究； 2）BBS特异性核心课程 - 大脑结构和功能的综合分析，行为的实验分析，生物统计学和生物信息学以及 流行病学； 3）BBS期刊俱乐部和研讨会计划； 4）研究实践，该实践为学生提供了通过与自己的方法和方法不同的行为研究的教职员工旋转，从而为学生提供了额外的动手研究经验。学生进度不仅在计划中，而且在毕业后定期进行定期评估。这可以衡量学员的研究生产力，职业轨迹和成就；它还为改善当前和未来学员的计划提供了指导。 BBS计划在实现其培训目标方面的成功得到了内部和外部咨询委员会的评估，该委员会研究了学生的招聘和保留，培训质量以及毕业生在发展中作为独立科学家的发展，以解决临床和公共健康重要性的复杂行为和生物医学问题。
