Project Summary/Abstract Continuing support is requested for a broadly based predoctoral training program in the neurosciences at the University of Cincinnati. The training program is intended to support a total of 6 students over their first 2 years of graduate education. The major objectives of the training program are to: 1) equip students with a broad foundation of knowledge in neuroscience, emphasizing mechanisms of disease and the problems that confront effective diagnosis and treatment; 2) provide in-depth research training that emphasizes modern, innovative approaches to understanding nervous system function and the ethical conduct of research; 3) facilitate development of outstanding written and oral communication skills; 4) foster excellence in the dissemination of research findings in the form of professional presentations and written manuscripts; and 5) prepare students for continued success in a wide variety of scientific careers. In response to a strong endorsement of the program in our recent reviews, the University of Cincinnati has made substantial financial commitments to the neuroscience community, providing new funds for recruitment of new faculty and programmatic enhancement. These additional funds supplement the already strong level of financial and administrative support from the College of Medicine. The training faculty are active and well-funded, and share a strong commitment to graduate education. Efforts of the institution and program faculty have resulted in maintenance of a strong applicant pool from top universities and colleges, and the program has consistently matriculated outstanding candidates from diverse backgrounds. Our trainees routinely land postdoctoral positions at prominent institutions, and go on to successful careers in academia, industry, scientific publishing, regulatory affairs and scientific policy, attesting to the strength and vitality of the training program. Recent initiatives include the recruitment of additional faculty across our broad neuroscience base; the development of new opportunities for students to gain teaching experience; changes to the neuroscience curriculum in response to recent advances in the field and the changing needs of our students; using individual development plans to ensure strong mentoring of all students; and the creation of an Alumni Seminar Series which further advances our goal of providing trainees ample opportunity to understand the diversity of neuroscience career options available to them. We anticipate that the graduates of our program will continue to play a major role in future research efforts to discover mechanisms underlying pathology of the nervous system and to develop new strategies to treat or prevent neurological disease.

项目摘要/摘要 持续的支持需要在神经科学领域进行广泛基于基于广泛的培训计划。 辛辛那提大学。该培训计划旨在在头两年中支持总共6名学生 研究生教育。培训计划的主要目标是：1）为学生提供广泛的装备 神经科学知识的基础，强调疾病机制和面临的问题 有效的诊断和治疗； 2）提供深入的研究培训，该培训强调现代，创新 理解神经系统功能和研究道德行为的方法； 3）便利 发展出色的书面和口头沟通技巧； 4）促进卓越的传播 以专业演讲和书面手稿的形式进行研究结果； 5）为学生做好准备 为了在各种科学职业中持续成功。回应强烈认可 在我们最近评论的计划中，辛辛那提大学已经对 神经科学社区，为招募新教师和程序化增强提供了新的资金。 这些额外的资金补充了已经有很强的财务和行政支持水平 医学院。培训教师活跃且资金充足，并对 研究生教育。机构和计划教师的努力导致维护强大 来自顶级大学和大学的申请人池，该计划一直在校准 来自不同背景的候选人。我们的学员通常会在突出的地方登陆博士后职位 机构，并继续从事学术界，工业，科学出版，监管事务以及 科学政策，证明了培训计划的力量和活力。最近的举措包括 在我们广泛的神经科学基础上招募其他教师；开发新的机会 学生获得教学经验；随着最近进步的响应，神经科学课程的变化 在领域和学生的需求不断变化中；使用个人发展计划来确保强大 所有学生的指导；以及校友研讨会系列的创建，进一步促进了我们的目标 为受训者提供足够的机会了解可用的神经科学职业选择的多样性 他们。我们预计我们计划的毕业生将继续在未来的研究中发挥重要作用 努力发现神经系统病理的基础机制，并制定新的策略 治疗或预防神经疾病。
