DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application represents the third competitive renewal for our Training Program that prepares young investigators to conduct research in age-related neurodegenerative diseases. Through an intensive program of education, research training, and mentorship, these trainees will become independent investigators who will pursue careers to further our understanding of the etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of these diseases. Trainees will include predoctoral PhD and MD/PhD students in neuroscience and related disciplines as well as postdoctoral PhD and MD scientists with prior training in the neurosciences, pharmacology, neuropathology, psychiatry, and gerontology. Predoctoral trainees will be given a solid background in neuroscience and related disciplines, including exposure to many diverse techniques, methods, and approaches in the setting of a research intensive academic medical center and university with a highly interactive group of trainers. They will then select a mentor from a pool of seventeen trainers with wide-ranging interests and complementary expertise. Postdoctoral trainees will participate actively in investigations underway in the laboratory of their choosing. Joint supervision of a trainee by more than one trainer will be encouraged; and physician trainees will also have the opportunity to pursue patient oriented research. Penn has an extensive didactive program in neurosciences, pharmacology, and other basic sciences that can be individually tailored to the needs of each trainee as a supplement to their core research training. Each trainee will undertake an independent project that will provide experience in the design and analysis of experiments and in the presentation and publication of results. Trainees will also participate in weekly research seminars that promote a constant interchange among trainees and trainers and encourage collaboration.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请代表了我们的培训计划的第三个竞争续约，该计划使年轻研究人员为与年龄相关的神经退行性疾病进行研究。通过密集的教育，研究培训和指导计划，这些受训者将成为独立的研究人员，他们将从事职业，以进一步了解我们对这些疾病的病因，发病机理，诊断和治疗。学员将包括神经科学和相关学科的博士学位和医学博士学位学生，以及博士后博士学位和MD科学家，并在神经科学，药理学，神经病理学，精神病学和老年学方面进行了培训。在神经科学和相关学科中，将赋予学科前学员的背景，包括在研究密集的学术医学中心和大学中与高度互动的培训师组合的许多不同的技术，方法和方法。然后，他们将从具有广泛兴趣和互补专业知识的17个培训师池中选择一名导师。 博士后学员将积极参加他们选择实验室的调查。将鼓励多个培训师对学员的共同监督；医师学员还将有机会从事面向患者的研究。宾夕法尼亚州在神经科学，药理学和其他基本科学方面具有广泛的教学计划，可以根据每个学员的需求进行单独量身定制，以补充其核心研究培训。每个学员将进行一个独立的项目，该项目将在实验设计和分析以及结果的介绍和发布方面提供经验。学员还将参加每周的研究研讨会，以促进学员和培训师之间不断互换，并鼓励合作。
