PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT
The Neurosciences Graduate Program (NGP) at UC San Diego (UCSD) is committed to training the next
generation of neuroscience leaders. The NGP brings together world-class research institutions and
laboratories at UCSD, The Salk Institute, The Scripps Research Institute, and the Sanford Burnham Institute,
to create one of the largest and most diverse neuroscience environments in the world. The proposed training
program combines this environment with a progressive, quantitatively rigorous curriculum covering multiple
neuroscience disciplines, mentored research with world-leading investigators, collaborative opportunities
across clinical and academic settings, and mentored professional development. Research productivity and
placement of prior NGP trainees is outstanding, with most trainees continuing in scientific research and higher
education. The NGP consistently ranks among the top graduate programs in the US. The proposed training
program supports 1st and 2nd-year NGP students and is endorsed by strong institutional support. The program
reinforces close, productive interactions between students and faculty. Incoming students receive intensive
hands-on laboratory training in a two-week Boot Camp that provides a unique bonding experience. Students
choose thesis labs after completing the core courses and research lab rotations in the first year. Student
progress is closely monitored through formal evaluations, with individually tailored career advising and
mentorship. Scientific interactions among students and faculty are facilitated through student-run journal clubs,
discussion courses, student talks, colloquia, outreach programs, recruitment activities, and an annual retreat. .
Our guiding mission to develop tomorrow’s leading neuroscientists is founded on rigorous skills in experimental
design, statistical methodology and quantitative reasoning. Over the next five years, the NGP has set a goal to
strengthen and comprehensively integrate the tenets of quantitative rigor, reproducibility, and research
transparency into all aspects of the training program. This includes broadening the quantitative scope of the
NGP by expanding the successful Computational Neuroscience specialization, modifying curricula, and altering
mentoring practices to anticipate future challenges for data collection, access, and analysis. Our goal is a
broad interdisciplinary neuroscience training environment that emphasizes strong quantitative skills coupled to
rigorous experimental design and statistical methodology.
