 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a competitive renewal of a Jointly Sponsored Training Grant that currently funds 6 slots for pre-thesis Ph.D. students in the Neuroscience Training Program (NSP) at the University of Colorado, School of Medicine. The NSP is an interdisciplinary Ph.D. granting degree started in 1986 that has been funded by the Jointly Sponsored Training Grant since 2001. The NSP has 60 faculty members of whom 56 are on this application. The faculty have an outstanding training record. Our graduates have a strong record of achievements as academicians and scientists. The average number of manuscripts published by our graduate students during their tenure was 3 manuscripts. The focus of the NSP is on training outstanding neuroscientists and academicians who will make significant contributions to neurobiology, become leaders in the field and impart these qualities to future generations of neuroscientists. In addition, we aim to foster development of students who approach research in a responsible, professional manner. In the last funding period, the NSP had its external review and acted quickly to put the reviewers' recommendations into practice. The Curriculum Committee, working in close collaboration with the Director, refined the curriculum designed to attain these goals. The emphasis of NSP is on fostering increasing independence, responsible conduct and critical thinking through courses and laboratory rotations in the first year of instruction so that, in the second year and beyond, we have students who think independently and develop, troubleshoot and communicate effectively the results of their own hypothesis-driven projects.

 描述（由申请人提供）：这是一项联合资助培训补助金的竞争性续签，目前为科罗拉多大学医学院神经科学培训项目 (NSP) 的论文前博士生提供 6 个名额。 NSP 是一个跨学科的博士学位授予项目，自 2001 年以来一直由联合资助的培训资助资助。NSP 拥有 60 名教职员工。 56 名教师拥有杰出的院士和科学家培训记录。我们的研究生在其任职期间平均发表论文数量为 3 篇。致力于培养杰出的神经科学家和院士，他们将为神经生物学做出重大贡献，成为该领域的领导者，并将这些品质传授给下一代神经科学家。此外，我们的目标是培养以负责任、专业的方式进行研究的学生。最后的在资助期间，NSP 进行了外部审查，并迅速采取行动，将审查者的建议付诸实践。课程委员会与主任密切合作，完善了旨在实现这些目标的课程。NSP 的重点是促进提高。通过第一年教学中的课程和实验室轮换，实现独立性、负责任的行为和批判性思维，以便在第二年及以后，我们有学生 他们独立思考，开发、排除故障并有效地传达自己的假设驱动项目的结果。
