Fostering Research Mentorship and Training During Psychiatry Residency

项目总结/摘要 研究精神病医生和研究奖学金的数量显著下降， 在过去的二十年里，精神科医生（芬顿等人，2004年，Pincus等人，2005年）。为了弥补这一差距，关键是 重要的是提供精神病学住院医师的早期研究培训。这种培训（a）促进研究 所有受训者的扫盲，（B）鼓励临床医生未来作为研究合作者参与，（c）提供 可以促进选择研究职业的经验，（d）通过制剂扩大临床知识 （e）吸引医学生参加精神病学培训，（f）保持 并促进具有调查背景的居民的研究兴趣（IOM 2003）。响应于 马萨诸塞州总医院精神病科和姆克林医院的研究人员 医院与MGH-McLean普通成人精神病学住院医师的领导合作， 住院医师培训计划中的研究集中计划（RCP）。RCP的目标是 通过促进更多的接触，为住院医师作为学术精神病学调查人员的职业生涯做好准备， 在居住期间的研究活动和培训。在联邦政府资助的第一个时期，RCP已经 成功地吸引和招募了有才华的精神病学家-科学家，并开发了一种有效的研究 教育计划。我们制定了一个协调良好的研究教育计划， 基础设施，吸引了临床科学家在精神病学的职业生涯，并为他们提供了导师 和研究经验，为他们在精神病学的独立研究者生涯做好准备， 神经科学实习生这一竞争性续期申请的持续具体目标是， 研究教育培训计划是：（1）吸引和培养优秀的居民成为未来 精神病学家，调查员在基础，转化，和面向病人的研究，通过整合核心研究， 临床教学规划，以及临床和研究轮换，在四年的住院医师 培训;（2）在四年的成人精神病学课程中提供专门的时间和培训 住院医师培训计划;（3）增加受益于研究教育的住院医师人数 计划;（4）通过提供更多和更密集的研究教育计划来扩大和深化研究教育计划 在住院医师培训计划中对所有住院医师进行研究素养培训;（5）为试点提供种子资金 研究项目由注册在RCP的居民设计;和（6）与培训计划的合作伙伴， MGH和姆克林医院以及哈佛催化剂，临床和转化科学中心 （CTSC），让所有居民都能从CTSC的教育资源中受益。新制定的具体目标 对于这种竞争性的更新申请是（1）创建一个NIH K奖授予写作和审查计划， 促进加速获得国家一级资金的途径;（2）在国家一级建立五个研究培训轨道。 RCP与具体的培训课程，以建立居民的研究技能。

Project Summary/Abstract There has been a significant decline in the number of research psychiatrists and research fellowships for psychiatrists in the past two decades (Fenton et al. 2004, Pincus et al. 2005). To address this gap, it is critically important to provide early research training in psychiatry residency. Such training (a) promotes research literacy for all trainees, (b) encourages future participation of clinicians as research collaborators, (c) provides experience that can foster choosing a research career, (d) expands clinical knowledge through the formulation of patient-oriented research questions, (e) attracts medical students into psychiatry training, and (f) maintains and facilitates research interest among residents with investigative backgrounds (IOM 2003). In response to this need, investigators at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) Department of Psychiatry and McLean Hospital collaborated with the leadership of the MGH-McLean General Adult Psychiatry residency to develop a Research Concentration Program (RCP) within the residency training program. The goal of the RCP is to prepare residents for careers as investigators in academic psychiatry by facilitating greater exposure to research activities and training during residency. Through its first federally funded period, the RCP has been successful in attracting and recruiting talented psychiatrist-scientists and has developed an effective research education program. We have developed a well-coordinated research education program with appropriate infrastructure that has attracted clinician-scientists to careers in psychiatry and provided them both mentorship and research experience to prepare them for an independent investigator career in psychiatry and neuroscience following residency. The ongoing specific aims of this competitive renewal application for the research education training program are to: (1) attract and train excellent residents to become future psychiatrist-investigators in basic, translational, and patient-oriented research, by integrating core research and clinical didactic programming, as well as clinical and research rotations, during the four years of residency training; (2) provide dedicated time and training for research over the course of the four-year adult psychiatry residency training program; (3) increase the number of residents who benefit from the research education program; (4) broaden and deepen the research education program by providing greater and more intensive training in research literacy to all residents in the residency training program; (5) provide seed funding for pilot research projects designed by the residents enrolled in the RCP; and (6) partner with training programs within MGH and McLean Hospitals as well as the Harvard Catalyst, the Clinical and Translational Science Center (CTSC), so that all residents will benefit from the CTSC educational resources. Newly developed specific aims for this competitive renewal application are to (1) create an NIH K award grant writing and review program to facilitate an accelerated path to national level funding; and (2) create five research training tracks within the RCP with specific training curricula to build the residents' research skill set.
