DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a proposal from the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine (UCCOM) to renew its long-standing training program (T32 DK059803) that supports predoctoral and postdoctoral training in the neuroendocrinology of energy balance and hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) stress axis regulation, with an emergent focus upon the role of sex differences. The training grant fits well with and enhances the tremendous growth in neuroscience research in general, and neuroendocrinology in particular, enjoyed by the UCCOM over the years since our original submission. The faculty of the training program consists of highly qualified and well-funded investigators from diverse departments with a common interest in metabolic and stress homeostasis, and most of the faculty are located in contiguous space at the recently renovated Metabolic Diseases Institute (MDI) of the UCCOM. The primary purpose of our training structure is to enable students and fellows to understand and apply principles of homeostasis to their research, and to provide an environment that encourages students and fellows to explore research that involves more than one of the focus areas. In particular, we want to expose students to a broad array of advanced techniques that they can be incorporated into their ongoing and future research. The training for both pre- and post-doctoral trainees includes a blend of coursework, seminars and journal clubs, and extensive one-on-one instruction, and at all levels there is an emphasis upon ethics and the responsible conduct of research. We believe that we have achieved an outstanding record of accomplishment in terms of recruiting, training and placing highly qualified trainees, and that thi is particularly true for under- represented minority trainees. For this renewal application, we are requesting funding for 3 pre- doctoral students and 3 post-doctoral trainees as recommended by prior reviews. The pre- doctoral students will have passed their general exams and be supported for their doctoral thesis, and all trainees are anticipated to complete their training within 2 to 3 years.

描述（由申请人提供）：这是辛辛那提大学医学院（UCCOM）的一项提议，以更新其长期存在的培训计划（T32 DK059803），该计划支持能量平衡和下丘脑核心核心范围的神经内分泌学领域的神经内分泌学领域的研究范围（HPA）的角色（HPA）的范围（HPA）的角色（HPA）均为一定的范围（HPA）。自从我们最初提交以来，UCCOM享受了培训赠款，并且尤其是神经科学研究的巨大增长，尤其是神经科学研究的巨大增长。培训计划的教职员工由来自不同部门的高素质且资金良好的调查员组成，对代谢和压力稳态有共同的兴趣，大多数教师都位于UCCOM最近翻新的代谢疾病研究所（MDI）的连续空间中。我们的培训结构的主要目的是使学生和研究员能够理解和应用体内平衡原则，并提供一个鼓励学生和研究员探索涉及多个重点领域的研究的环境。特别是，我们希望使学生了解各种各样的先进技术，这些技术可以纳入他们正在进行的未来研究中。对学前和博士后学员的培训包括课程，研讨会和期刊俱乐部的融合以及广泛的一对一指导，并且在各个层面上都强调了道德和负责任的研究。我们认为，在招募，培训和安置高素质的学员方面，我们已经取得了出色的成就记录，而对于不足代表的少数群体学员来说尤其如此。对于此续签应用，我们是 根据先前评论的建议，要求为3名博士生和3名博士后学员提供资金。博士学位的学生将通过一般考试并获得博士学位论文的支持，并且所有学员都将在2至3年内完成培训。
