DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of the Neurosciences Graduate Training Program at University of California San Diego is to provide broad-based training for students interested in pursuing a career in neuroscience. This training grant will support 1st and 2nd year students in the Neurosciences Graduate Program, which brings together an outstanding group of investigators from UCSD and the Salk Institute. Both UCSD and The Salk Institute provide substantial human and financial resources to ensure a thriving program. During the past 20 years this program has evolved into one of the top neuroscience programs in the country and attracts an exceptional group of graduate students. The program is characterized by broad faculty participation and active student involvement. Under the training program students will participate in a rigorous and multifaceted training plan, which includes an introductory 'boot camp', a core course sequence (cellular and molecular neuroscience, systems neuroscience, and cognitive and clinical neuroscience), courses in statistics and neuroanatomy, a course on scientific conduct and ethics, and elective courses in basic and clinical neuroscience. In addition the students will carry out three research rotations during their first year to gain exposure to different areas of neuroscience and will use that experience as the basis of selecting a thesis lab. The coursework and research will be complemented by various activities to enhance the scientific training of the students and to facilitate interaction with other neuroscientists. These include participation in the Neuroscience seminar series (in which students host a distinguished neuroscientist each week), a weekly journal club (where students discuss papers by visiting scientists), and weekly research rounds (where students present their current research), and an annual retreat (which features two days of research talks from faculty and students working in all areas of neuroscience). The progress of trainees will be evaluated based on performance in courses, rotation evaluations, and annual evaluations. Oversight for trainees will be provided at multiple levels, including direct advice from rotation and thesis advisors, interactions with an individually assigned prethesis advisor, feedback from the prethesis and thesis committees, and regular meetings with the program director. This training program will provide outstanding, broad-based training to neuroscience graduate students during their pre-dissertation years.

描述（由申请人提供）： 加州大学圣地亚哥分校神经科学研究生培训计划的目的是为有兴趣从事神经科学职业的学生提供广泛的培训。这笔培训补助金将支持神经科学研究生项目的一年级和二年级学生，该项目汇集了 来自加州大学圣地亚哥分校和索尔克研究所的杰出研究人员团队。加州大学圣地亚哥分校和索尔克研究所都提供了大量的人力和财力资源来确保项目的蓬勃发展。在过去的 20 年里，该项目已发展成为美国顶尖的神经科学项目之一，并吸引了一批优秀的研究生。该项目的特点是教师广泛参与和学生积极参与。根据培训计​​划，学生将参加严格和多方面的培训计划，其中包括介绍性“训练营”、核心课程序列（细胞和分子神经科学、系统神经科学以及认知和临床神经科学）、统计学和神经解剖学课程，关于科学行为和道德的课程，以及基础和临床神经科学的选修课程。此外，学生将在第一年进行三次研究轮换，以接触神经科学的不同领域，并将利用这些经验作为选择论文实验室的基础。课程和研究将辅以各种活动，以加强学生的科学训练并促进与其他神经科学家的互动。其中包括参加神经科学研讨会系列（学生每周接待一位杰出的神经科学家）、每周期刊俱乐部（学生通过访问科学家讨论论文）以及每周研究轮次（其中 学生展示他们当前的研究），以及年度静修活动（其中包括神经科学所有领域的教师和学生进行为期两天的研究讲座）。学员的进步将根据课程表现、轮换评估和年度评估进行评估。对学员的监督将 可以在多个层面上提供，包括轮换和论文顾问的直接建议、与单独指定的论文顾问的互动、论文和论文委员会的反馈以及与项目主任的定期会议。该培训计划将为以下人员提供出色的、基础广泛的培训： 神经科学研究生在论文准备阶段。
