The Career Development Institute for Psychiatry

项目摘要（摘要） 二十多年来，临床科学家的数量不断减少， 从事心理健康方面的职业，而那些进入心理健康领域的人的自然减员率很高。 这一领域已经威胁到我们国家利用生物医学和生物技术进步的能力， 行为科学来改善公共卫生。此次R25更新的目标 申请职业发展研究所精神病学（CDI）是继续 提供必要的技能，支持和指导网络，以一个程序 国家选择的，有前途的早期职业心理健康科学家的多元化群体， 帮助他们启动并保持成功的研究生涯。我们迄今为止的结果表明， 研究员对该计划非常满意，在职业生涯中经历了改善， 技能，并在学术生涯中取得了成功。 该计划是面向科学家之间的关键过渡点， 完成研究培训和教师任命的最初几年。课程发展处 在多层次的纵向计划中提供必要的技能和指导， 关注早期职业心理健康科学家的发展需求，包括 实用的职业技能;长期、多层次的指导;支持面对个人和 专业挑战;专业社区的成员资格;以及协作， 多学科的科学方法。目标职业技能包括谈判; 研究伦理;领导力;促进公平，多样性和包容性;科学 项目管理;科学传播;和计算方法。 此迭代的改进包括更多的交互式格式，增强的指导， 有针对性的网络研讨会，并强调领导和方案规划。的 该计划包括四个阶段，每年18-22名研究员：（1）自我， 评估和目标设定;（2）为期4天的面对面讲习班;（3）2年的辅导， 培训网络研讨会和社区建设;以及（4）年度职业和计划 评价。该计划的董事，顾问委员会和网站提供了一个彻底的， 该计划的集中基础。来自全国各地的CDI校友担任 教师。拟议中的纵向计划将增加科学家的数量 致力于研究心理健康的职业生涯，并为改善 在预防和治疗精神疾病方面取得了进展。

Project Summary (Abstract) For over two decades, the combination of a declining number of clinical scientists who pursue careers in mental health and a high rate of attrition among those who enter the field has threatened our nation’s ability to leverage advances in biomedical and behavioral sciences into improvements in public health. The goal of this R25 renewal application for the Career Development Institute for Psychiatry (CDI) is to continue a program that provides the necessary skills, support, and mentoring network to a nationally selected, diverse group of promising early-career mental health scientists to help them launch and maintain successful research careers. Our results to date indicate that fellows are very satisfied with the program, have experienced improvement in career skills, and have successfully proceeded in academic careers. The program is geared toward scientists at the critical transition point between the completion of research training and the initial years of faculty appointment. The CDI provides the necessary skills and mentoring in a multi-tiered longitudinal program, with a focus on the developmental needs of early-career mental health scientists, including practical career skills; long-term, multilevel mentoring; support for facing personal and professional challenges; membership in a professional community; and a collaborative, multi-disciplinary approach to science. Targeted career skills include negotiation; research ethics; leadership; promotion of equity, diversity, and inclusion; scientific project management; science communication; and computational approaches. Improvements for this iteration include more interactive formats, enhanced mentoring, targeted webinars, and emphasis on leadership and programmatic planning. The program encompasses four phases for each annual class of 18-22 fellows: (1) self- assessment and goal setting; (2) 4-day in-person workshop; (3) 2 years of mentoring, training webinars, and community building; and (4) annual career and program evaluations. The program directors, advisory board, and website provide a thorough, centralized foundation for the program. CDI alumni from across the country serve as faculty. The proposed longitudinal program will increase the number of scientists committed to research careers in mental health and provide a foundation for improved progress toward preventing and treating mental illness.
