[Neuropostdocs] Good news

I am delighted to report that a training grant application made last year 
will be funded! The grant is entitled, "Sensory Neuroscience Training 
Program with a Focus on Auditory and Chemosensory neurobiology."  Al Feng 
is the PI on the grant, with numerous NSP faculty.  This will provide us 
with additional resources to recruit and support neuroscience students and 
postdocs.

We hope to get on a roll: a training grant seeking support for Year 1 and 2 
students (Paul Gold, PI) narrowly missed funding this past year; Paul will 
resubmit this one as well as a new one on aging.  And Akira Chiba is 
beginning to explore possibilities of a training grant proposal on 
development of the nervous system.

Preparation of these proposals is greatly facilitated by Sam's work in 
organizing the required student information database.  If anyone else is 
interested in developing a proposal for a training grant, Sam will be happy 
to help you along these lines.

Congratulations to Al, and thanks Paul, Sam and Akira for your efforts and 
interest.
