Training GrantsNIH Blueprint Training Program in Computational NeuroscienceThis program supports 6 graduate students at a time with a 2-year fellowship that provides integrated training in computational neuroscience. The program consists of a set of core classes in cellular and systems computational neuroscience, three lab rotations with computational neuroscience training faculty, a Journal Club, and a Methods Clinic. Training will allow experimentalists to engage in computational or theoretical studies and theorists to become experimentally active. The graduate fellows in this program will join an internationally growing community of biologically-oriented computational neuroscientists through conferences and collaborations. Applicants to the Neuroscience graduate program interested in this training program should contact the Training Program Director, Prof. Dieter Jaeger for further details. Also see our website for more information: Computational Neuroscience Training Grant Training in Translational Research in NeurologyOur training program in Translational Research in Neurology currently supports 2 predoctoral and 3 postdoctoral trainees. The objective of this program is to provide predoctoral and postdoctoral research training opportunities for both basic and clinical scientists interested in pursuing careers in neuro-translational research and to ensure that a diverse and highly trained workforce is available to assume leadership roles related to translational research. The training faculty are experienced clinician-scientists and basic neuroscientists working on translational research in the Departments of Neurology, Cell Biology, Pharmacology, Human Genetics, Anesthesiology, Physiology, Neurosurgery and other clinical and basic science departments.Trainees carry out supervised research with the primary objective of developing their research skills and knowledge in the field of neurological disease with mentors with exceptional scientific and teaching experience from both basic neuroscience and clinical research. Trainees will be prepared to utilize their research findings as they pursue future careers in research and as members of translational research teams. The training has 2 main components: First, trainees are immersed in an intensive, hands-on laboratory training program. Second, they learn clinical aspects of neurological disorders, including current concepts of pathogenesis and pathophysiology, current therapy and potential "targets" for experimental therapeutic intervention. We train students and PhDs with research experience but little practical knowledge of neurologic disease, and MDs with a firm grasp of clinical neurology but in need of additional research experience. Basic scientists obtain clinical exposure to real patients. Our program also provides trainees with training in grant writing experience so they can obtain future independent research support. Postdocs also receive training in laboratory and project management. We provide an outstanding interactive and interdisciplinary environment for learning to design and carry out research investigations that are relevant to neurological disease. Please contact Nancy Ciliax, Associate Director, Center for Neurodegenerative Disease, for more information. |
