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 博士前培训补助金的总体目标是为规划作为独立研究人员的职业的学生提供行为和生物医学领域严格的研究培训。目标是培养具有利用广泛的实验方法并结合生化、分子和遗传分析进行行为研究的背景和技能的下一代科学家。行为和生物医学科学 (BBS) 的研究培训项目聘请了经验丰富的教师导师，并以已建立的生物医学、心理学和公共卫生博士学位为基础。西弗吉尼亚大学的课程。我们招募了符合 NRSA 资格的优秀学生，并一直为他们提供行为和生物医学研究方面的高质量培训。 T32 支持将使我们能够正式确定此培训计划，并增加我们可以接受此增值培训计划的学生数量。 BBS 指导委员会根据学生的成绩任命学生进入 T32——考虑他们的学术资格、对行为研究的兴趣以及对跨学科研究培训的承诺。集中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 教师导师的指导下进行监督研究； 2）BBS专用核心课程——脑结构与功能综合分析、行为实验分析、生物统计学与生物信息学、 流行病学； 3) BBS期刊俱乐部和研讨会项目； 4) 研究实习，通过与从事行为研究的教师导师轮流，利用不同于自己的方法和方法，为学生提供额外的实践研究经验。主任和指导委员会不仅在课程期间，而且在毕业后定期评估学生的进步。这可以衡量学员的研究生产力、职业轨迹和成就；它还为改进当前和未来学员的计划提供指导。 BBS 项目在实现其培训目标方面的成功由内部和外部咨询委员会进行评估，这些委员会审查学生的招募和保留、培训质量以及毕业生作为独立科学家解决临床和公共领域复杂的行为和生物医学问题的成功情况。健康的重要性。
