DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal seeks 5 years of NIH support to establish a campus-wide training program in which young scientists, mathematicians, and engineers interested in computational neuroscience will be trained in both theoretical and experimental neuroscience. In addition, they will learn how to "translate" their research ideas from the laboratory to the clinic. This proposal consists of the two required components in RFA-DA-11-005. This first is R90 components that will fund six full-time undergraduate research trainees give them a combination of coursework and hands-on laboratory research experience. The R90 will also fund two predoctoral students. The second component is a full-time Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) institutional predoctoral training program (T90) that will fund 4 predoctoral students. The goal of this proposal is to create a unique training experience in computational neuroscience in which young scientists, mathematicians, and engineers interested in computational neuroscience will be trained in both theoretical and experimental approaches to studying the brain. In addition, they will learn how to "translate" their research ideas from the laboratory to the clinic. The program will integrate fundamental knowledge, interdisciplinary thinking, and translational skills to solve challenges in the neurosciences, as well as promote a strong community of faculty and students with similar interests. Specific Objectives - Undergraduate Training Program 1. Provide students majoring in the biological sciences with a strong background in the application of mathematical and engineering concepts to neuroscience 2. Provide three of the most accomplished students per year with a 21-month research experience that integrates theoretical and empirical approaches 3. Expose students to the diversity of research careers in computational neuroscience Specific Objectives - Graduate Training Program 4. Provide strong training in experimental neuroscience to students with engineering and mathematics degrees 5. Provide three of the most accomplished students per year with a 24-month fellowship to develop research projects integrating theoretical and empirical approaches 6. Provide career guidance and training in grant writing Specific Objectives - All Programs 7. Foster faculty and student networking across departments and colleges 8. Expose all students to the translational challenges in neuroscience 9. Encourage and provide support for all trainees to attend local and national conferences and workshops

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案寻求5年的NIH支持，以建立校园范围内的培训计划，其中年轻的科学家，数学家和工程师对计算神经科学感兴趣的工程师将接受理论和实验性神经科学的培训。此外，他们将学习如何将他们的研究思想从实验室“翻译”到诊所。该提案由RFA-DA-11-005中的两个所需组成部分组成。首先是R90组件，该组件将资助六个全日制大学生研究学员，为他们提供了课程工作和动手实验室研究经验的结合。 R90还将资助两名专业学生。第二部分是全职的露丝·柯希斯坦国家研究服务奖（NRSA）机构培训前培训计划（T90），该计划将资助4位占主导地位的学生。该提案的目的是在计算神经科学中创造独特的培训经验，其中年轻的科学家，数学家和对计算神经科学感兴趣的工程师将接受研究大脑的理论和实验方法的培训。此外，他们将学习如何将他们的研究思想从实验室“翻译”到诊所。该计划将融合基本知识，跨学科思维和翻译技能，以解决神经科学中的挑战，并促进一个有相似兴趣的教师和学生的强大社区。具体目标 - 本科培训计划1。为在生物科学领域提供专业的学生，​​在数学和工程概念应用于神经科学方面具有很强的背景。为神经科学2。提供每年最有成就的学生，并提供21个月的研究经验，并具有21个月的研究经验，以整合理论和经验的方法3。培训学生的多样性培训特定的对象的学生，以培训特定的对象的学生 - 培训特定的对象 - 培训特定的对象4-凭借工程学和数学学位5。每年提供三个最有成就的学生，并通过24个月的奖学金来开发研究项目，以整合理论和经验方法6.提供职业指导和培训，以授予特定的目标7。讲习班
