项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Building Research Achievement in Neuroscience (BRAiN): Student Training through Institutional Partnerships will bridge the Neuroscience research participation gap by preparing diverse undergraduates in the Rocky Mountain and Southwest Region for successful entry to Neuroscience Ph.D. programs. BRAiN unites preexisting formal research and education programs at diverse institutions: the Neuroscience Graduate Program at the University of Colorado Denver in the Anschutz Medical Campus (NSP at UCD-AMC), home to a T32 Neuroscience Training Grant; the RISE to Excellence biomedical research education program at New Mexico State University (NMSU), a Hispanic serving minority institution; and the undergraduate Brain and Behavior program of the Department of Psychology at the University of Colorado Denver downtown campus (UCD-DT). BRAiN aspires to expand through developmental partnerships with Colorado State University- Pueblo and other colleges in the region. Broad participation in the Ph.D. Neuroscience/Behavior pipeline will be enabled through pursuit of three specific aims: (1) Recruitment of 67 BRAiN Scholars from diverse demographic groups that are nationally underrepresented in biomedical and behavioral neuroscience research; (2) Development of the Neuroscience/Behavior research expertise and professional skills of BRAiN Scholars; (3) Retention of BRAiN Scholars in Neuroscience/Behavior research through enrolment in postgraduate programs. BRAiN will provide intensive training that combines mentored independent research with student development of a rich knowledge base in Neuroscience core concepts. Curriculum integration will be achieved through a common Neuroscience Seminar Series and a Neuroscience Core Course. Emphasis will be placed on enhancement of mentorship skills through activities such as the Neuroscience Mentor Academy where faculty will meet to discuss student training, program evaluation, and curriculum reform. Taken together, proposed activities will provide an integrated research and professional development experience across multiple sites that leverages 21st century resources for scientific investigation and is responsive to practical aspects of contemporary student life.

描述（由申请人提供）：神经科学的建筑研究成就（大脑）：通过机构伙伴关系培训学生培训将通过准备落基山和西南地区的多样化的本科生来成功进入神经科学博士学位，来弥合神经科学研究的参与差距。程序。大脑在不同机构的正式研究和教育计划中统一：在Anschutz医疗校园（UCD-AMC的NSP）的科罗拉多大学丹佛分校的神经科学研究生计划，是T32神经科学培训赠款的所在地；新墨西哥州立大学（NMSU）的卓越生物医学研究教育计划，这是西班牙裔少数派机构的兴起；以及科罗拉多大学丹佛分校校园（UCD-DT）心理学系的大脑和行为计划。大脑渴望通过与科罗拉多州立大学的发展合作伙伴关系扩展 - 普韦布洛和该地区的其他学院。广泛参加博士学位神经科学/行为管道将通过追求三个特定目标来启用：（1）来自不同人口组的67个大脑学者的招募，这些人群中的生物医学和行为神经科学研究中代表性不足；（2）发展神经科学/行为研究专业知识和脑学者的专业技能；（3）通过入学研究生计划保留脑学者在神经科学/行为研究中的保留。大脑将提供深入的培训，将有指导的独立研究与学生发展神经科学核心概念的丰富知识基础的发展相结合。课程整合将通过常见的神经科学研讨会系列和神经科学核心课程实现。通过诸如神经科学导师学院等活动，将重点放在提高指导技能的方面，教师将开会讨论学生培训，课程评估和课程改革。综上所述，拟议的活动将在多个地点提供综合的研究和专业发展经验，这些网站利用21世纪的资源进行科学研究，并对当代学生生活的实际方面做出响应。
