Project Summary The goal of this proposal is to implement a novel Research Training in Sensorimotor Neurorehabilitation program to prepare the next generation of scientists that can address the growing need for neuroscience- based rehabilitation solutions. Northwestern University has a long and recognized history in the study of motor control, motor disability and recovery, and neural reorganization; and in training the next generation of movement and rehabilitation scientists (MRS) through the Northwestern University Interdepartmental Neuroscience Program (NUIN) PhD program since 2009, with demonstrated success reflected in more than 20 graduates currently leading successful research careers in academia and industry. The proposed program is built on this research and training record with the mission to train students with clinical and life/applied science backgrounds and post-doctoral fellows with clinical backgrounds to become rehabilitation scientists in basic, translational or clinical research. These scientists will have the ability to integrate knowledge from the various disciplines involved in sensorimotor neurorehabilitation, including neuroscience, engineering and clinical sciences. The training program will focus on four training goals: 1) to provide a thorough grounding in the basic neurobiology of sensorimotor function and control, including translation of insights between animal and human research models; 2) to learn fundamental engineering experimental methods for measurement and analysis of neuronal and musculoskeletal sensory and motor function; 3) to facilitate knowledge sharing in the clinical management of individuals with movement disorders between the post-doctoral and pre-doctoral trainees; and 4) to provide professional development training to support future rehabilitation research career success. The unique structure of the program, couples training of post-doctoral trainees with clinical expertise with pre-doctoral trainees focusing on neuroscience. The program is the first of its kind to provide post-doctoral research training of Doctors of Physical Therapy (DPT), an untapped cohort of prospective scientists that has emerged in the contemporary age of science-based medicine and evidence-based practice. These DPT candidates for post-doctoral slots will be drawn from research intensive Physical Therapy Programs across the United States. Pre-doctoral trainees will be drawn from the NUIN-MRS program. The translational interdisciplinary nature of the program will allow close interaction between clinical investigators and basic and applied sciences investigators, providing a unique opportunity for training in translational research. We intend to support a total of 12 pre-doctoral trainees and 5 post-doctoral trainees with NIH funding for up to two years each. Additional institutional support is available in the form of tuition and stipend supplements for trainees and diversity fellowships to support diversity recruiting efforts.

项目摘要 该建议的目的是在感觉运动神经居住中实施新的研究培训 计划准备下一代科学家，以满足对神经科学的日益增长的需求 - 基于康复解决方案。西北大学在运动研究中有悠久而公认的历史 控制，运动障碍和恢复以及神经重组；并在训练下一代 运动与康复科学家（MRS）通过西北大学跨部门 自2009年以来，神经科学计划（NUIN）博士学位课程，其成功反映在超过 目前有20名毕业生在学术界和工业领域领导着成功的研究职业。拟议的计划 建立在该研究和培训记录的基础上，使命是培训临床和生活/应用的学生 具有临床背景的科学背景和博士后研究员成为康复科学家 基础，翻译或临床研究。这些科学家将有能力将知识从 涉及感觉运动神经疗法的各种学科，包括神经科学，工程和 临床科学。培训计划将重点介绍四个培训目标：1）在 感觉运动功能和控制的基本神经生物学，包括动物之间见解的翻译 和人类研究模型； 2）学习测量的基本工程实验方法 以及神经元和肌肉骨骼感觉和运动功能的分析； 3）促进知识共享 在博士后和博士前的运动障碍患者的临床管理中 学员； 4）提供专业发展培训以支持未来的康复研究职业 成功。该计划的独特结构，夫妻对临床专业知识的博士后学员培训 博士前学员专注于神经科学。该程序是第一个提供博士后的程序 物理治疗医生（DPT）的研究培训，这是一名未开发的潜在科学家队员 出现在当代基于科学的医学和循证实践的时代。这些DPT 博士后老虎机的候选人将从研究密集的物理疗法计划中提取 美国。博士前学员将从NUIN-MRS计划中获取。翻译 该计划的跨学科性质将允许临床研究人员与基本和基础之间的紧密互动 应用科学研究人员为翻译研究提供了独特的机会。我们打算 总共支持12名博士后学员和5名博士后学员，并提供NIH资金长达两年 每个。提供其他机构支持，以学费和津贴补充的形式提供给受训者和 多样性奖学金，以支持多样性招募工作。
