PROJECT SUMMARY This is the second renewal of Mount Sinai's Jointly Sponsored Institutional Predoctoral T32 Training Program in Neuroscience. The objective of the Training Program is to provide rigorous, broad-based, individualized and multidisciplinary training to Year 1 and 2 predoctoral students in basic, translational and clinical neuroscience research, thereby enhancing the ability of our trainees to acquire critical skillsets necessary for high-quality doctoral dissertation research and a productive and impactful career in the science- related workforce. To accomplish this, the Training Program leverages the intimate association between the Mount Sinai Hospital and Health System, the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and Mount Sinai's Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, physically embedded together under one leadership, to expose trainees to the enormous breadth of basic, translational and clinical scientific approaches and model systems represented by an outstanding training faculty, ranging from structure/function analysis of individual synapses, to computational modeling of gene, protein and connectivity networks in healthy and diseased brains, to behavioral, electrophysiological and imaging studies of a variety of organisms, including humans. Mount Sinai has undergone an enormous expansion in basic and clinical research infrastructure, neuroscience faculty recruitment and a 3-fold increase in applications to the Neuroscience PhD program. Thus, seven training slots per year are requested. Our trainees participate in an integrated program of Core courses (spanning genes, molecules, cells, synapses, circuits, systems, behaviors and brain pathophysiology) and includes a course with direct patient contact. Courses are team-taught by an exceptional faculty using different teaching styles, including flipped classrooms and other approaches. Additional first-year courses include Responsible Conduct in Research, Rigor and Reproducibiity, an intensive Biostatistics course (with a parallel lab in R-programming) a Journal Club/WIP and research rotations. By the end of the first year, trainees select a thesis lab, and during their second year, commence dissertation research while taking at least two Advanced Electives from a large number of courses offered across the Institution. This allows each trainee to customize their coursework to their particular research and training goal needs. Trainees in our program also benefit from numerous activities that enhance their research experience, including science theme-based Clubs, seminars, career development opportunities, teaching and peer-mentoring activities, an annual retreat and other cohesion-building events. This Neuroscience Training Program T32 is essential to Mount Sinai's mission of providing fundamental neuroscience research training to our students, and serves as the principal research training, mentoring and financial engine driving specifically early-stage predoctoral students seeking a PhD in Neuroscience.

项目摘要 这是西奈山共同赞助的机构T32培训的第二个续约 神经科学计划。培训计划的目的是提供严格的，广泛的， 第1年和2年级学生的个性化和多学​​科培训 临床神经科学研究，从而增强了学员获得关键技能的能力 对于高质量的博士学位论文研究以及科学的富有成效和有影响力的职业所必需的 相关劳动力。为此，培训计划利用了 西奈山医院和卫生系统，西奈山和西奈山医学院 生物医学科学研究生院，在一个领导下身体嵌入在一起，以暴露 受训者对基本，转化和临床科学方法和模型系统的巨大广度 以出色的培训教师为代表，从单个突触的结构/功能分析范围 健康和患病的大脑中基因，蛋白质和连通性网络的计算建模， 包括人类在内的各种生物的行为，电生理和成像研究。西奈山 在基础和临床研究基础设施中，神经科学教师经历了巨大的扩展 Neuroscience博士计划的招聘和增加3倍。因此，七个训练插槽 要求每年。我们的学员参加了核心课程的综合计划（跨越基因， 分子，细胞，突触，电路，系统，行为和脑病理生理学），包括一门课程 直接患者接触。课程是由使用不同教学风格的杰出教师教授的， 包括翻转教室和其他方法。额外的第一年课程包括负责任的行为 在研究，严谨和再振荡中，是一个密集的生物统计学课程（在R编程中具有平行实验室） 期刊俱乐部/WIP和研究轮换。到第一年结束时，学员选择了一个论文实验室，然后 他们的第二年，开始论文研究，同时至少从一个大型选修课中获得了两个高级选修课 整个机构提供的课程数量。这使每个学员可以自定义他们的课程工作 他们的特殊研究和培训目标需求。我们计划中的受训者也受益于众多活动 这增强了他们的研究经验，包括科学主题俱乐部，研讨会，职业发展 机遇，教学和同伴的活动，年度务虚会和其他凝聚力建设活动。 该神经科学培训计划T32对于西奈山提供基本的使命至关重要 对学生的神经科学研究培训，并作为主要研究培训，指导和 驾驶金融引擎是专门阶段的早期前学生，寻求神经科学博士学位。
