Project Summary/Abstract – Neuroimmunology Training Program at the University of California, Irvine Neuroimmunology is a rapidly growing field of research that touches a number of critical human diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, spinal cord injury, and viral encephalopathies. Traditionally, researchers have been trained in either neuroscience or immunology, whereas the Neuroimmunology Training Program (NITP) at the University of California, Irvine seeks to develop and train the next generation of researchers in both fields with a cross-disciplinary approach focused on the interplay between the immune and nervous systems during disease. This application requests support for 4 pre-doctoral trainees who will be selected from an outstanding pool of candidates within our relevant graduate programs. Moreover, UCI has a diverse graduate student population and expects at least 50% of trainees supported with NIH funding will be underrepresented minorities in the biomedical sciences. This application is the result of ongoing collaborations between high-caliber faculty on campus who recognized the need to develop a training program specific to the challenges of neuroimmunology. The NITP will formally bring together 24 faculty members from across the neuroimmunology research spectrum to participate in mentorship and program-wide activities to share expertise and further develop the neuroimmunology field. The training program will be overseen by two faculty directors and an advisory committee focused on selecting and supporting trainees who are highly likely to exhibit continued success within the diverse field of neuroimmunology research. The NITP program directors will initiate programming at UCI to enhance the quality of research and mentoring experiences of trainees and set them up for career success. All in all, UCI’s NITP proposal demonstrates the exceptional training record of our faculty mentors, unique resources to support research, and robust institutional support. From this strong foundation, the NITP will provide an outstanding opportunity for trainees to develop intellectually, advance and optimize their thesis research projects, create a valuable network of colleagues, and prepare for a highly successful research career focused on the crossroads of immunology and neuroscience.

项目摘要/摘要 - 加利福尼亚大学尔湾分校的神经免疫学培训计划 神经免疫学是一个迅速发展的研究领域，涉及许多关键的人类疾病， 包括阿尔茨海默氏病，多发性硬化症，癫痫，脊髓损伤和病毒性脑病。 传统上，研究人员接受了神经科学或免疫学的培训，而 加利福尼亚大学的神经免疫学培训计划（NITP），欧文寻求开发和培训 在这两个领域的下一代研究人员都采用跨学科方法，重点是 疾病期间的免疫和神经系统。此申请要求支持4位博士前学员 谁将从我们相关研究生课程中的杰出候选人中选出。而且， UCI拥有潜水员的研究生人数，并期望至少有50％的学员获得NIH资金 在生物医学科学中的代表性不足。该应用程序是持续的结果 校园中高素质教师之间的合作，他们认识到需要制定培训计划的必要性 特定于神经免疫学的挑战。 NITP将正式将24名教职员工从 跨神经免疫学研究范围 共享专业知识并进一步发展神经免疫学领域。培训计划将由两个监督 教职董事和咨询委员会致力于选择和支持培训的培训 为了退出神经免疫研究不同领域的持续成功。 NITP计划董事 将在UCI启动编程，以提高受训者和学员的心理体验质量 将他们设置为职业成功。总而言之，UCI的NITP提案展示了出色的培训记录 我们的教师导师，支持研究的独特资源以及强大的机构支持。从这个强者 基金会，NITP将为受训人员提供智力，进步和发展的绝佳机会 优化其论文研究项目，创建有价值的同事网络，并为高度准备 成功的研究职业专注于免疫学和神经科学的十字路口。
