This is the first renewal application for a T32 grant, “Research Training in Biobehavioral Disturbances of Eating Disorders.” The primary goal of this training program is to train postdoctoral (MD, MD/PhD, and PhD) fellows for careers as independent researchers in Eating Disorders. An intensive three-year program is outlined in which fellows learn how to identify key research questions, formulate hypotheses, and design and execute experiments that effectively test those hypotheses. In the course of training, fellows acquire a range of skills relevant to research methodology, including expertise in experimental design and statistical analysis relevant to clinical research. Graduating fellows are able to present research projects clearly in both written and oral forms as evidenced by publications and presentations. The training program outlined, utilizing the outstanding faculty at Columbia University offers a unique opportunity to future researchers in the field of eating disorders. The Columbia Eating Disorders Research Unit has a long track record of recruiting and successfully training clinical researchers with its success reflected in high rates of its trainees receiving K awards and pursuing full-time academic careers. Also, the Columbia program has been highly successful at recruiting MD researchers into the field of eating disorders, making it an unusual training program in this specialized area. Prior to the start of this T32 program in 2013, research fellows specializing in eating disorders at Columbia used other, more general research training programs available in the department. As these programs became more focused on basic science and neurobiology, they grew reluctant to accept candidates with interests in the field of eating disorders whose interests may have been more clinically, behaviorally, and translationally focused. The T32 program for eating disorders research has gotten off to an excellent start, offering a comprehensive clinical research education program, for outstanding candidates interested in eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder. The NIMH has identified eating disorders as an understudied area in need of research initiatives. This application outlines a training plan for future researchers in this important clinical area.

这是T32基金的第一次续签申请，即生物行为研究培训 饮食失调的困扰。“该培训计划的主要目标是培训 博士后(MD、MD/PhD和PhD)研究员作为独立研究人员在 进食障碍。这是一个为期三年的强化项目，学员们在其中学习如何 确定关键研究问题，阐述假设，并设计和执行 有效检验这些假说的实验。在训练过程中，伙计们 掌握与研究方法相关的一系列技能，包括 与临床研究相关的实验设计和统计分析。毕业典礼 研究员能够以书面和口头形式清楚地展示研究项目 出版物和演示文稿证明了这一点。概述的培训计划，利用 哥伦比亚大学杰出的教职员工为未来提供了独特的机会 饮食失调领域的研究人员。哥伦比亚饮食失调研究 该单位在招募和成功培训临床研究人员方面有着长期的记录 它的成功体现在它的学员获得K奖和追求 全职的学术生涯。此外，哥伦比亚大学的项目在以下方面也非常成功 招募MD研究人员进入饮食失调领域，使之成为一种不同寻常的培训 在这一专业领域的课程。在2013年T32计划开始之前，研究 哥伦比亚大学专门研究饮食失调的研究员使用了其他更一般的研究 该部门提供的培训计划。随着这些项目变得更加专注于 在基础科学和神经生物学方面，他们变得不愿接受具有 对饮食失调领域的兴趣，他们的兴趣可能更多地是临床上的， 从行为上讲，在翻译上有重点。饮食失调研究的T32计划 已经有了一个良好的开端，提供了全面的临床研究教育 计划，面向对厌食症等饮食失调感兴趣的优秀候选人 神经症、神经性暴食症和暴饮暴食障碍。NIMH已经确定了进食 精神障碍是一个研究不足的领域，需要进行研究。此应用程序 概述了这一重要临床领域未来研究人员的培训计划。
