 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a competing renewal application for funds to support pre- and postdoctoral training in Integrative Neuroscience at the Center for Neural Science at New York University. This proposal follows successful implementation of a new direction for this program that was undertaken in the previous award period. The focus of the training program is on four interrelated core areas of investigation: learning, memory, development and plasticity. The proposed training program includes a partnership with the Graduate Program in Neuroscience and Physiology at the NYU School of Medicine. We seek to renew our support at the level of 7 predoctoral and 3 postdoctoral fellows. This number of trainees requested stems from 1) recent expansion of our neuroscience faculty in the focus areas of this training program, 2) increasing cooperation between the new NYU Neuroscience Institute and the Center for Neural Science, 3) and increasing number of well- qualified trainees in our focus areas, and 4) the importance of fostering a cohesive training group of a sufficient size to foster trainee development across levels, from pre to post-doctoral and from cellular-molecular to systems and cognitive approaches, across program divisions, and between translational and basic research. Our proposed training program will provide a central focus for pre and postdoctoral training in areas of neuroscience critical to advancing knowledge of development and degeneration of the nervous system, neural disease processes, and disorders of memory and mental health. Our trainees will have the opportunity to be a part of a cohort of world class scientists engaged in cutting-edge research related to learning, memory, development and plasticity. We have compiled a group of 25 training faculty that will provide an integrative, collaborative training experience that crosses traditional disciplinary boundaries, spans levels of analysis, and levels of training. The trainees, predoctoral fellows in the third yer or higher and postdoctoral fellows in the early years post PhD, will have access to a special seminar series, individualized mentoring, opportunities to develop translational thinking, and workshops to promote balanced professional and academic skills important for future success. We expect our trainees to remain in the program for about 2 years, at which time we expect that they will have obtained independent funding or transitioned to another research support mechanism. In either case, they will have a continuing, high-level of support from the program. We seek to build a steadily growing cohort of scientists with shared goals and interests that will advance the goals of NIMH for research into the neural mechanisms of development, disorders and mental disease.

 描述（由申请人提供）：这是一项竞争性更新申请，旨在支持纽约大学神经科学中心的综合神经科学博士前和博士后培训，该计划是在成功实施该计划的新方向之后提出的。培训计划的重点是四个相互关联的核心研究领域：学习、记忆、发展和可塑性。拟议的培训计划包括与纽约大学神经科学和生理学研究生计划的合作。我们寻求重新提供对 7 名博士前研究员和 3 名博士后研究员的支持，这一数量源于 1) 最近在该培训计划的重点领域扩大了我们的神经科学师资队伍，2) 加强了新学员之间的合作。纽约大学神经科学研究所和神经科学中心，3) 以及我们重点领域的合格学员数量不断增加，以及 4) 培养一个足够规模的有凝聚力的培训团队以促进学员跨级别发展的重要性，我们提出的培训计划将为神经科学领域的博士前和博士后培训提供中心重点，这对于提高神经科学知识至关重要。我们的学员将有机会成为世界级科学家的一员，从事与学习、记忆、发展相关的前沿研究。和可塑性。 25 名培训教师将提供跨越传统学科界限、跨越分析水平和培训水平的综合、协作培训经验，培训生、三年级或更高年级的博士前研究员和博士后早期的博士后研究员。可以获得特殊的研讨会系列、个性化指导、发展转化思维的机会以及促进平衡的专业和学术技能的研讨会，我们希望我们的学员能够在该计划中停留大约 2 年，届时我们将获得成功。期望他们能够获得独立的资助或稳定地过渡到另一个研究支持机制，无论哪种情况，他们都将得到该计划的持续、高水平的支持，我们寻求建立一个不断壮大的具有共同目标和兴趣的科学家群体。这将推进 NIMH 研究发育、疾病和精神疾病的神经机制的目标。
