DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): NISTP: NEUROIMAGING SCIENCES TRAINING PROGRAM This institutional grant requests funds for four postdoctoral positions for interdisciplinary training and research in neuroimaging. Two general classes of neuroimaging will be emphasized: radiotracer and nuclear magnetic resonance. The specific imaging methods are described by the following acronyms: PET (positron emission tomography, MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), including fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) and DTI (diffusion tensor imaging), and MRS (magnetic resonance spectroscopy). These imaging methodologies offer real promise for the expanded clinical utility of neuroimaging in the diagnosis, treatment, and understanding of the pathophysiology of substance abuse and dependence. However, these new methodologies typically derive from complex, multidisciplinary sciences, which thereby create a challenging information barrier to their further development and application in medical practice. The purposes of the proposed program are the following: - Provide formal course training to postdoctoral fellows, with an emphasis on imaging and clinical research methodology, and instruction in their underlying multidisciplinary sciences. - Provide mentored training for fellows to apply these new methods to the interdisciplinary advance of our understanding of the function of the brain in health, substance abuse, and other psychiatric diseases. - Provide an integrated research experience for the fellows both in imaging applications and in methodology. All postdoctoral fellows will be expected to complete at least one research project with an applications mentor and one with a methodology mentor during their training period. The integration of training in methodology and imaging applications will be enhanced by the organization of this program as two interactive tracks of approximately equal size: Methodology and Application. We expect that the majority of postdoctoral fellows in the Methodology track will have Ph.D. degrees, and those in the Application track, primarily M.D. degrees or Ph.D. in neurosciences or behavioral sciences. Each fellow will have a primary and secondary faculty mentor to represent the two tracks.

描述（由申请人提供）：NISTP：神经影像学培训计划该机构赠款要求为跨学科培训和神经影像学研究的四个博士后职位提供资金。 将强调两种一般的神经影像学：放射性示踪剂和核磁共振。 特定的成像方法通过以下缩写词来描述：PET（正电子发射断层扫描，MRI（磁共振成像），包括fMRI（功能磁共振成像）和DTI（扩散张量成像）和MRS和MRS（磁共振镜）（这些成像方法）提供了对扩展的Neuroim的临床限制，以实现临床的临床限制。但是，这些新方法的病理生理学通常来自复杂的多学科科学 医学实践中的发展和应用。 拟议计划的目的是： - 向博士后研究员提供正式课程培训，重点是成像和临床研究方法，以及在其基本的多学科科学中的指导。 - 为研究员提供指导的培训，以将这些新方法应用于我们对大脑在健康，药物滥用和其他精神疾病中的功能的理解的跨学科进步。 - 在成像应用和方法论中为研究员提供综合研究经验。 预计所有博士后研究员将在培训期间与应用指导者一起完成至少一个研究项目，并在其培训期间与一个方法论指导者一起完成。该程序的组织将增强方法论和成像应用中的培训的整合，作为大约相等大小的两个交互式轨道：方法和应用。 我们预计方法论中的大多数博士后研究员都将获得博士学位。学位，以及应用程序轨道中的学位，主要是医学博士学位或博士学位。在神经科学或行为科学中。 每个家伙都将有一位主要和次要的教师导师来代表这两首曲目。
