PROJECT SUMMARY: POSTDOCTORAL TRAINING IN SUICIDE RESEARCH Suicidal behavior is a major public health problem with over 47,000 deaths by suicide in the United States in 2017 and over 1,400,000 suicide attempts. Unfortunately, rates of suicide deaths and attempts have increased in recent years. There have been multiple calls for increased research on all aspects of suicidal behavior ranging from basic experimental to clinical trials to implementation efforts. Yet the cadre of researchers necessary to conduct this vitally needed research is limited. There is currently only one other T32 postdoctoral training program focused exclusively on suicide research, with only six training slots. Thus, there is a pressing need for more training in suicide research. Brown has a established cadre of suicide researchers including 10 senior level researchers, as well as 5 junior level suicide researchers. These faculty’s research focus covers a broad range of suicide research, spanning basic and predictive research, intervention, and implementation science. Other faculty at Brown offer a wide range of expertise in research areas that are highly complementary to important questions in suicide research, such as sleep, genetics, implementation science, big data, and statistics. Our faculty has extensive experience training new investigators; one of the MPIs of this application (Dr. Miller) led a very successful T32 (T32MH067553) in “Treatment Research” for 10 years. Other senior investigators have successfully mentored a number of postdoctoral fellows. Finally, Brown has a well established and successful infrastructure for research training, including five other NIH funded T32 programs (none of which focus of suicide). This postdoctoral training program will be directed jointly by Drs. Ivan Miller and Lauren Weinstock. Drs. Miller and Weinstock are established investigators with a history of conducting suicide research. With a plan to enroll three new postdoctoral fellows (PhDs and MDs) per year for a 2-3 year postdoctoral fellowship experience, the research training plan will be based on the apprenticeship model. Based on the fellow’s interests and overlap with faculty’s expertise, each fellow will be assigned to a senior suicide researcher as a Primary Mentor. Each fellow will also have a Co-Mentor, either a junior suicide researcher or a senior researcher with complementary expertise. Developed collaboratively between fellow and Mentor(s), the research training program will typically include five components: (1) supervised participation in the ongoing work of an established research team led by the primary mentor; (2) development of an independent research application to be submitted by the end of the first training year; (3) participation in a formal didactic program including seminars on suicide research, research design, and ethics; (4) data analysis and manuscript preparation from existing faculty data; and (5) an independent research project conducted over two years, supervised by the primary mentor, that will include formulation of the question, data analysis, and manuscript preparation.

项目概要：自杀研究的博士后培训 自杀行为是一个主要的公共卫生问题，在美国， 2017年，超过1，400，000次自杀企图。不幸的是，自杀死亡率和自杀未遂率都在上升， 近年来人们多次呼吁增加对自杀行为各个方面的研究 从基础实验到临床试验再到实施工作。然而，研究人员的骨干 进行这项急需的研究所需的资源有限。目前只有一个T32博士后 培训计划专门针对自杀研究，只有六个培训名额。因此，有一个紧迫的 需要更多的自杀研究培训。布朗有一个成熟的自杀研究骨干，包括10个 高级研究人员，以及5个初级自杀研究人员。这些教师的研究重点涵盖了 广泛的自杀研究，涵盖基础和预测研究，干预和实施 科学布朗大学的其他教师在研究领域提供广泛的专业知识， 补充自杀研究中的重要问题，如睡眠，遗传学，实施科学， 大数据和统计数据。我们的教师有丰富的经验，培训新的调查人员;其中一个MPI的这 应用程序（米勒博士）领导了一个非常成功的T32（T32 MH 067553）在“治疗研究”10年。其他 资深研究人员已成功地指导了一些博士后研究员。最后，布朗有一口井， 建立和成功的研究培训基础设施，包括其他五个NIH资助的T32项目 (none自杀的重点）。这个博士后培训项目将由伊万米勒博士共同指导 和劳伦·温斯托克米勒博士和温斯托克博士是公认的研究者， 自杀研究计划每年招收三名新的博士后研究员（博士和医学博士），为期2-3年 博士后奖学金的经验，研究培训计划将基于学徒模式。 根据研究员的兴趣和与教师的专业知识重叠，每个研究员将被分配到一个高级 自杀研究者作为主要导师。每个研究员也将有一个共同导师，无论是初级自杀 研究员或具有互补专长的高级研究员。在研究员之间协作开发 和导师，研究培训计划通常包括五个组成部分：（1）监督参与 在一个由主要导师领导的既定研究小组正在进行的工作中;（2）开发一个 独立研究申请须在第一个培训年度结束前提交;（3）参加 正式的教学计划，包括自杀研究、研究设计和伦理学研讨会;（4）数据分析 和手稿准备从现有的教师数据;和（5）一个独立的研究项目进行， 两年，由主要导师监督，这将包括问题的制定，数据分析， 手稿准备。
