DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Weill Cornell Medical College (WCMC) Division of Child eurology proposal for a Neurological Sciences Academic Development Award (NSADA) is designed to facilitate and nurture career development for junior faculty Child Neurologists committed to independent research careers and to enable scientific training ofthe next generation of clinical neuroscientists. The Tri-lnstitutional Research Program comprising Weill Cornell Medical College, The Rockefeller University, and the Sloan-Kettering Institute ofthe Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center provides a unique environment for an NSADA Program. These three institutions recognize the national need for training biomedical investigators who: (A) have advanced understanding of biomedical neuroscience and a mastery of contemporary research skills, which will allow them to undertake fundamental studies to elucidate basic neurobiological processes pertaining to human developmental neurologic disease; and (B) are well grounded in human neurobiology, pathophysiology and clinical neurology, including child neurology. Our program will guide NSADA Scholars through a rigorous course of postgraduate study that offers flexibility regarding the individual focus of research, and unfettered access to experienced mentors in leading developmental neuroscience laboratories within the Tri-lnstitutional campus. The multi-Institutional makeup of the faculty ensures that there is broad expertise in all ofthe major research disciplines comprising developmental neuroscience in its broadest sense: neurochemistry and neurobiology; neuroanatomy and MR- based brain imaging, cell and developmental neurobiology; neuropharmacology; computational neurobiology and bioinformatics; neurogenetics and genomics; neuro-immunology; molecular neuroscience; pathology and mechanisms of disease; and neurophysiology and biophysics. While the framework of developmental neurology and medicine and the sciences ofthe infant's and child's brain in health and disease is vast, our program will emphasize the theme of having each trainee master skills in developmental neurobiology, which enable them to acquire and apply current methods in basic and clinical neurosciences to improve thir ability to diagnose and treat developmental brain disorders. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Our training program will allow the development of clinician researchers with the skills necessary to transfer advances in basic research to the understanding, prevention, and treatment of pediatric neurologic disorders and improve the public health.

描述（由申请人提供）：Weill Cornell医学院（WCMC）神经学科学学术发展奖（NSADA）的儿童欧洲学提案（NSADA）旨在促进和培育致力于初级教职员工神经病学家的职业发展，并致力于独立研究，并启用了下一代临床神经科学家的科学培训。由Weill Cornell医学院，洛克菲勒大学和纪念Sloan-Kettering癌症中心的Sloan-Kettering研究所组成的三机构研究计划，为NSADA计划提供了独特的环境。这三个机构认识到国家对培训生物医学研究人员的需求：（a）对生物医学神经科学有深入的了解和对当代研究技能的掌握，这将使他们能够进行基础研究，以阐明与人类神经学疾病有关的基本神经生物学过程； （b）在人类神经生物学，病理生理学和临床神经病学，包括儿童神经病学上有很好的扎根。我们的计划将指导NSADA学者进行严格的研究生研究，从而为个人的研究重点提供灵活性，并在三家校园内的领先发展神经科学实验室中不受限制地访问经验丰富的导师。教师的多机构构成可确保在所有主要的研究学科中都有广泛的专业知识，包括最广泛的神经科学：神经化学和神经生物学；神经解剖学和基于MR的脑成像，细胞和发育神经生物学；神经药理学；计算神经生物学和生物信息学；神经遗传学和基因组学；神经免疫学；分子神经科学；病理和疾病机制；以及神经生理学和生物物理学。尽管发育神经病学和医学的框架以及婴儿和儿童在健康和疾病中的大脑的科学虽然很广泛，但我们的计划将强调具有发育神经生物学中的每个学员的主体技能的主题，这使他们能够在基本和临床的神经科学中获取并应用当前方法，以提高诊断和治疗发育脑部疾病的thir能力。 公共卫生相关性：我们的培训计划将允许开发临床医生研究人员，并具有将基础研究进步的必要技能转移到对小儿神经系统疾病的理解，预防和治疗中，并改善公共卫生。
