Translational Research Training in Child Psychiatry

项目摘要 这是T32“儿童精神病学转化研究培训”的更新申请， 自1980年以来，一直在持续提供资金。该计划的使命是招募和培训下一代的 认识到有效预防和/或治疗方法的发展 神经发育障碍的治疗策略需要研究 在个体和群体水平上的潜在生物学和环境。培训的成功 该计划反映在学员的成就和研究员的多样性。 在过去的15年里，46名申请人被选中参加培训计划，其中74%是女性， 33%为MD（5名MD/PhD和10名MD），其余为PhD。在过去的15年里，我们的学员 获得了大量的独立资金，包括14个职业发展奖（K 08，K 01和K23）， 19个R 01级赠款（R 01，SC 1，UH 3，UG 3），4个R21，2个R25，1个T34，1个U 79，21个基金会赠款，4个来自 萨克勒发展心理生物学研究所，4个NIH贷款偿还奖，1个来自新 约克州心理健康办公室。此外，3 K奖的申请正在审查中， 最近的毕业生。在过去14年完成T32课程的46名学员中，83%现在已经进入 研究职位。我们目前有6名研究员，1名下个月毕业，1名新的医学博士研究员被录取， 从2019年7月开始。 在上次提交的T32中，委员会注意到过去的学员成功率很高， 他们在很大程度上获得了学术职位，并在以下方面表现出了良好的记录： 出版和获得校外资助。委员会还指出，我们的“杰出导师小组， 代表广泛的跨学科专业知识”和我们的“精心设计的培训课程， RDoC，以及优秀的申请人。”在此，我们采取措施，进一步提高我们的成功培训 计划和我们的招聘多元化的申请人池，特别是，医生科学家。我们包括 指导我们的导师的明确流程，现在强调数据科学和计算方面的培训 精神病学方法，同时继续提供转化神经科学的创新培训。

PROJECT SUMMARY This is an application for renewal of the T32, “Translational Research Training in Child Psychiatry” that has been funded continuously since 1980. The mission of this program is to recruit and train the next generation of translational scientists who recognize that the development of effective prevention and/or therapeutic strategies for neurodevelopmental disorders requires studying the bidirectional pathways between the underlying biology and environment at both the individual and population level. The success of the training program is reflected in both the accomplishments of the trainees and in the diversity of the fellows. In the past 15 years, 46 applicants were selected into the training program, of whom 74% were female and 33% were MDs (5 MD/PhDs and 10 MDs) and the remaining were PhDs. Over the past 15 years, our trainees have received substantial independent funding including 14 career development awards (K08, K01, and K23), 19 R01-level grants (R01, SC1, UH3, UG3), 4 R21s, 2 R25s, 1 T34, 1 U79, 21 foundation grants, 4 awards from the Sackler Institute of Developmental Psychobiology, 4 NIH loan repayment awards, and 1 award from the New York State Office of Mental Health. In addition, 3 K award applications are under review from current fellows or very recent graduates. Of the 46 trainees who have completed our T32 in the past 14 years, 83% are now in research positions. We currently have 6 fellows, with 1 graduating next month and 1 new MD fellow accepted to begin July 2019. In the last submission of this T32, the committee noted the high rate of success amongst past trainees who have largely gone on to secure academic positions and who have demonstrated strong track records of publishing and obtaining extramural funding. The committee also noted our “outstanding group of mentors who represent broad interdisciplinary expertise” and our “well-outlined training curriculum that strongly incorporates RDoC, and the excellent pool of applicants.” Herein, we take steps to further improve our successful training program and our recruitment of a diverse applicant pool and, specifically, physician scientists. We include explicit processes for mentoring our mentors and now emphasize training in data science and computational psychiatry methods, while continuing to offer innovative training in translational neuroscience.
