DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Continuing support is requested for a broadly-based, interdisciplinary training program that provides fundamental Pre-doctoral training in the neurosciences at the University of Cincinnati. The proposed training program will support students for the first two years of their graduate education. Trainees are recruited nationally and are selected on a competitive basis. The specific objectives of the training program include: 1) recruiting quality trainees showing outstanding potential for careers in neuroscience; 2) delivering solid didactic training in basic neuroscience and the ethical conduct of research, 3) fostering state-of-the art neuroscience research experiences in top neuroscience laboratories, 4) creating an enriched neuroscience environment through journal clubs, seminars, attendance at local, national and international meetings, and numerous events and activities promoting program interaction and cohesion, and 5) preparing students for neuroscience careers through coursework in academic survival skills, career symposia and mentoring. The proposed training program is supported by a growing and vigorous neuroscience community. The University fosters the growth of neuroscience research through faculty recruitments and resource allocation, and supports the Neuroscience Graduate Program through an administrative budget and a limited amount of stipend and tuition support. Participating faculty have active and productive research programs incorporating a variety of approaches to study of the nervous system, spanning basic to translational neuroscience. As a result of this training grant, improvements in our applicant pool have resulted in a very productive and successful student body, as illustrated by the success of our trainees in obtaining quality post-doctoral positions, independent funding and faculty positions. New initiatives proposed for this funding period supplement our program by addition of new courses in neuroscience; implementation of new plans for general and minority recruitment; interaction with the new undergraduate neuroscience major; and public outreach. It is anticipated that our trainees will take an active role In shaping future discoveries of direct benefit to diagnosis, prevention and treatment of nervous system disease or pathology. RELEVANCE (See instructions); Neuroscience research is critical for discovering new cures and treatments for debilitating neurodegenerative, neurological and psychiatric disease. This proposal provides broad-based training to provide a next generation of scientist's education in the fundamentals of neuroscience and experience in state-of-the-art basic as well as translational neuroscience research.

描述（由申请人提供）：要求持续支持基于广泛的跨学科培训计划，该计划在辛辛那提大学提供基本的神经科学前博士前培训。拟议的培训计划将在研究生教育的前两年为学生提供支持。在全国范围内招募学员，并以竞争性选择。培训计划的具体目标包括：1）招募优质学员，表现出神经科学职业的杰出潜力； 2）在基本神经科学和研究的道德上进行良好的教学培训，3）培养最先进的神经科学研究经验，在顶级神经科学实验室中的研究经验，4）4）通过日记俱乐部，研讨会，研讨会，参加本地，国家和国际活动的活动以及促进课程的培训和5个运动的学生来创建丰富的神经科学环境，并为促进培训培训培训，并促进培训学生的培训和5次培训，并为5个运动培训，并为5个运动培训培训，并为5）促进培训，5职业研讨会和指导。拟议的培训计划得到了一个不断增长且充满活力的神经科学社区的支持。大学通过教师招聘和资源分配来促进神经科学研究的增长，并通过行政预算以及有限的津贴和学费支持来支持神经科学研究生计划。参与的教师拥有积极且富有成效的研究计划，其中包含了各种研究神经系统的方法，涵盖了转化神经科学的基础。由于这项培训补助金，我们的申请人池的改善导致了一个非常富有成效且成功的学生团体，这是我们受训者在获得优质博士后职位，独立资金和教职员工职位方面的成功所表明的。通过在神经科学中添加新课程，为这项资金期间提出的新举措补充了我们的计划；实施一般和少数民族招聘的新计划；与新的大学神经科学专业的互动；和公共宣传。预计我们的学员将在塑造未来对诊断，预防和治疗神经系统疾病或病理的直接益处的发现中发挥积极作用。 相关性（请参阅说明）；神经科学研究对于发现新的治疗方法和治疗方法至关重要，以使神经退行性，神经系统疾病和精神病疾病的治疗方法至关重要。该建议提供了广泛的培训，以在最先进的基本和转化神经科学研究中提供下一代科学家的教育。
