 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We request continued support for a training grant for advanced (3rd-5th year) students in the well-established Columbia University-wide Doctoral Program in Neurobiology and Behavior. Support for five students is requested. The impetus for initiating and continuing this training program is the desire to provide the best possible preparation of our students to fulfill productive careers that draw on their scientific training. I particular, we will support a cadre of students carrying out cross-disciplinary research that has translational significance and relevance to neurological diseases. We will further favor and encourage such research that is directed by co-mentors with different experimental expertise. In addition, we will provide out-of-laboratory training of these and other students in the program via a continuing course in "Professional Skills" and a course in Biology of Neurologic and Psychiatric Disorders". We will also add several new "added value" components to the program via an association with the newly inaugurated Columbia Translational Neuroscience Initiative (CTNI). The CTNI is dedicated to serving as an umbrella organization to coordinate and enhance basic and translational neuroscience research at Columbia. Aside from the benefits conferred by its overall mission, the CTNI will specifically organize and run a mentored data presentation forum that our supported students will participate in along with other doctoral and post-doctoral trainees. It will also offer our students presentations by clinical faculty of patiens with neurological disorders. These training opportunities are designed to be leveraged so that they benefit our supported trainees as well as other neuroscience-oriented students at Columbia. The program initially will be directed by the current PD Lloyd Greene, and a co-PD, Gil Di Paolo. Dr. Greene will phase out after the first year of the renewal period and Dr. Di Paolo will become sole PD. This arrangement is designed to permit a smooth transition of the program leadership. The program will have 52 mentors at both junior and senior levels who work in area of relevance to translational neuroscience. Oversight will be provided by the directors of the overall Neurobiology and Behavior program, by an outside committee and by feedback from current and past students supported by the program. In the first 4 years of the program, 11 students have been supported with mentorship/co-mentorship by 13 different faculties. Publication records, thesis completion, retention rates, success in gaining outside support, continuation in science careers, increasing numbers of qualified and co-mentored applicants, and student feedback all indicate that the program is meeting its goals. This and additional considerations support the request to increase the number of supported students to five from the current number of four.

 描述（由适用提供）：我们要求在哥伦比亚大学范围内良好的哥伦比亚大学神经生物学和行为的哥伦比亚大学范围内的培训补助金（第三至5年）的培训补助金。要求支持五名学生。启动和继续该培训计划的动力是希望为学生提供最好的准备，以实现借鉴其科学培训的生产力。我特别，我们将支持一群学生进行跨学科研究，这些研究具有转化意义和与神经系统疾病的相关性。我们将进一步支持并鼓励由具有不同实验专业知识的联席会员指导的研究。此外，我们还将通过该计划中的这些学生和其他学生通过 持续的“专业技能”课程以及神经系统和精神疾病的生物学课程。我们还将通过与新近哥伦比亚的哥伦比亚转化神经科学倡议（CTNI）（CTNI）的哥伦比亚转化性神经科学倡议（CTNI）的相关性，从而使CTNI致力于COLERAS的基础和增强性，并将其添加到CORTANIAL和ENRURAUBS INTRAUMBAUMBAUMBAUBS和ENRURAND。在整体任务中，CTNI将专门组织和运行一个有指导的数据演示论坛，我们的支持学生将与其他博士学位和博士后学员一起参加，这也将为我们的培训机会提供临床上的临床教职员工将由当前的PD Lloyd Greene和Co-PD指导。格林博士将在续签时期的第一年和DI Paolo博士毕业 将成为唯一的PD。这种安排旨在使计划领导的平稳过渡。该计划将在初级和高级层面有52名导师，他们在与转化神经科学相关的领域工作。总体神经生物学和行为计划的董事将由外部委员会以及该计划支持的当前和过去学生的反馈提供监督。在该计划的前4年中，有11名学生得到了13个不同能力的Mentalship/Comentorship的支持。出版记录，论文完成，保留率，获得外部支持的成功，继续从事科学职业，越来越多的合格申请和辅助申请以及学生反馈都表明该计划正在实现其目标。此和其他考虑因素支持将支持学生数量增加到目前的四个数量的要求。
