DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of the Neurodegeneration Training Program (NTP) is to provide rigorous pre-doctoral training in various aspects of neurodegeneration and mechanisms of diseases involving neurodegeneration. An outstanding pool of trainees will combine with world-class faculty to investigate a wide range of neurodegeneration-related topics spanning research areas such as protein structure, cell and molecular biology and in vitro and in vivo models of disease. The NTP spans departments, schools and institutions to include multiple departments at Case Western Reserve University, particularly the School of Medicine, and its affiliated institutions, University Hospitals Case Medical Center (UHCMC), The Louis Stokes Cleveland Veteran's Administration Medical Center (VAMC), and the Cleveland Clinic Foundation (CCF, including the Lerner Research Institute). All of these institutions are within walking distance of each other and this rich training environment enjoys very active basic science and clinical activities and state of the art resources to enrich the training of pre- doctoal trainees as they engage in basic and/or translational research in the field of neurodegeneration. Training in the NTP involves NTP course work, formal and informal seminars, an annual retreat, and a research experience resulting in scholarly publications. A unique component of this training program is the inclusion of a required 1 semester, half day per week, mentored experience in a neurodegenerative disease clinic. The combination of didactic and experiential training opportunities afforded by the NTP will provide trainees a solid foundation for a future career in the scientific inquiry of neurodegeneration.

描述（由申请人提供）：神经退行性训练计划（NTP）的目的是在神经变性的各个方面提供严格的博士前训练以及涉及神经变性的疾病机制。出色的学员池将与世界一流的教职员工结合，以研究涵盖蛋白质结构，细胞和分子生物学以及体外和体内疾病模型等研究领域的广泛的与神经变性有关的主题。 NTP跨越部门，学校和机构，包括凯斯西部储备大学的多个系，特别是医学院，及其附属机构，大学医院医院医疗中心（UHCMC），路易斯·斯托克斯克利夫兰退伍军人管理医疗中心（VAMC），及其包括克利夫兰临床基金会（CCF，包括Lerner研究所）。所有这些机构都在彼此之间的步行范围内，这种丰富的培训环境享有非常活跃的基础科学，临床活动以及最先进的资源，以丰富对神经变性领域的基础和/或转化研究的培训。 NTP的培训涉及NTP课程工作，正式和非正式研讨会，年度务虚会以及导致学术出版物的研究经验。该培训计划的一个独特组成部分是包含一个必需的1个学期，每周半天，并在神经退行性疾病诊所进行了指导的经验。 NTP提供的教学和体验培训机会的结合将为受训者提供稳固的基础，以实现神经退行性科学探究的未来职业。
