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 ofthe two required components in RFA-DA-11-005. This first is a R90 component 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.

该提案寻求 NIH 5 年的支持，以建立一个校园范围内的培训计划，其中年轻人 对计算神经科学感兴趣的科学家、数学家和工程师将接受这两个方面的培训 理论和实验神经科学。此外，他们还将学习如何“转化”他们的研究想法 从实验室到诊所。该提案由 RFA-DA-11-005 中的两个必需组件组成。 第一个是 R90 组件，将资助六名全日制本科研究实习生，为他们提供 课程作业和实验室研究实践经验的结合。 R90 还将资助两个 博士前学生。第二个组成部分是全职露丝·L·基尔施斯坦国家研究服务 奖（NRSA）机构博士前培训计划（T90）将资助 4 名博士前学生。 该提案的目标是在计算神经科学领域创造独特的培训体验，其中 对计算神经科学感兴趣的年轻科学家、数学家和工程师将接受以下培训： 研究大脑的理论和实验方法。此外，他们还将学习如何 将他们的研究想法从实验室“转化”到临床。该计划将整合基础 解决神经科学挑战的知识、跨学科思维和转化技能 促进具有相似兴趣的教师和学生的强大社区。
