Project Summary The Training Program in Learning and Memory is based at the University of California - Irvine Center for the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory (CNLM), a research unit established in 1983 by the UC Regents with James L. McGaugh as its Founding Director. The Center’s highly interdisciplinary faculty are working to achieve a complete and integrated understanding of how the brain stores and remembers information across all levels from molecules to mind. Of the Center’s more than 70 active research faculty, 21 will be the core training faculty for this program, representing strengths in molecular, cellular, circuit, systems, cognitive and computational neuroscience of learning and memory. The program’s goal is to train the next generation of innovative leaders in neuroscience by empowering them with the skills, knowledge, and team science core values necessary to comprehensively understand the neural basis of learning and memory. The program is aimed at predoctoral trainees with four slots offered every year and a typical duration of appointment of 2 years. It will feature 10 key components that will provide unique education training in the range of skills required for a successful research career in learning and memory: (1) a new problem-focused seminar course that promotes transdisciplinary and divergent thinking in learning and memory; (2) a new course on neural computation; (3) a new course on research-intensive academic careers (Life Skills for the Academic); (4) a full-day workshop on transdisciplinary research and team science; (5) attending and presenting research at the annual learning and memory conference; (6) attending, presenting at, and taking part in planning a training program fall retreat; (7) networking with visiting experts via the CNLM seminar series, conferences and workshops; (8) attending and presenting in one of the CNLM journal clubs; (9) attending a major conference each year e.g. Society for Neuroscience; and (10) participating in a minimum of three professional development workshops and one certificate program offered by UCI’s Graduate Division. An additional optional component designed for this program is a team science proposal competition that puts into practice many of the principles taught in the team science workshop. The activities fulfill many of the advanced requirements for coursework and will not increase time to degree completion. The overall training program leverages the existing resources and activities in UCI’s graduate training, adds new training components that are unique to trainees of this program, and provides a host of optional activities for professional development. Desired outcomes include successful completion of PhD, published manuscripts, quantified improvement in transdisciplinary thinking and behavior, individual fellowships (e.g. NRSA), successful placement in postdoctoral training, and subsequent career in research-intensive or research-related areas. With a number of value-added components, this training program will successfully prepare our trainees to be future leaders in the neurobiology of learning and memory.

项目概要 学习和记忆培训项目位于加州大学欧文中心 学习和记忆神经生物学 (CNLM)，是加州大学董事会于 1983 年与 詹姆斯·麦高（James L. McGaugh）作为该中心的创始主任，其高度跨学科的教师正在努力实现这一目标。 对大脑如何存储和记住各个级别的信息有一个完整和综合的理解 从分子到心灵，该中心 70 多名活跃的研究人员中，有 21 名将成为核心培训人员。 对于这个项目，代表分子、细胞、电路、系统、认知和计算方面的优势 该项目的目标是培养下一代创新领导者。 通过赋予他们必要的技能、知识和团队科学核心价值观，在神经科学领域 全面了解学习和记忆的神经基础该计划针对博士前。 每年提供 4 个培训名额，典型的培训期限为 2 年，其中包括 10 个关键岗位。 将提供成功研究所需技能范围内独特教育培训的组件 学习和记忆方面的职业：（1）一门新的以问题为中心的研讨会课程，促进跨学科和 学习和记忆中的发散思维；（2）神经计算新课程；（3）神经计算新课程； 研究密集型学术生涯（学术生活技能）；（4）全天跨学科研讨会； 研究和团队科学；（5）参加年度学习和记忆会议并展示研究成果 会议；(6) 出席、出席并参与规划秋季静修活动；(7) 建立联系； 通过 CNLM 研讨会系列、会议和讲习班与客座专家 (8) 参加并发表演讲； CNLM 期刊俱乐部之一；（9）每年参加一次重要会议，例如神经科学学会； (10) 参加至少三场专业发展研讨会和一门提供的证书课程 由 UCI 研究生部设计的另一个可选部分是团队科学。 提案竞赛将团队科学研讨会中教授的许多原则付诸实践。 活动满足了课程作业的许多高级要求，并且不会增加获得学位的时间 整个培训计划利用 UCI 毕业生的现有资源和活动。 培训，增加了该计划学员独有的新培训内容，并提供了一系列 职业发展的可选活动包括成功完成博士学位， 发表的手稿、跨学科思维和行为的量化改进、个人奖学金 （例如 NRSA），成功进入博士后培训，以及随后从事研究密集型或 凭借许多增值内容，该培训计划将取得成功。 让我们的学员成为学习和记忆神经生物学领域未来的领导者。
