We currently need to train a sizeable group of researchers anti academicians in geriatric psychiatry in order to prepare for the upcoming increase in the number of elderly mentally ill persons. The Summer Research Institute (SRI) is an annual week-long research training program followed by ongoing mentorship for about 25 selected fellows and junior faculty. Sessions cover topics such as scientific integrity, recruitment of subjects, grant mechanisms, and balancing life and work. About 90% of the 123 attendees have presented and written publishable papers within a year of attendance, and over 50% have received grant funding within 18 months of the SRI. The 3-year cumulative proportion remaining in fulltime academies is 78%. The SRI offers a model for training junior investigators in a manner that is useful both to them and to the field as a whole.
