Brown School Training Program in Mental Health Services Research

项目总结 此续签申请要求为布朗学校的精神健康服务培训计划提供资金 华盛顿大学圣路易斯分校(华盛顿大学)的研究。我们的项目将准备2名博士后和2名博士后 每年培训学员以获取高级精神健康服务研究技能，以应对 我们国家最脆弱的人群。具体地说，患有精神障碍的人寻求治疗 在多个服务部门的交叉点，经历高护理需求，并且最不可能 确保所需的服务或获得高质量的护理。我们的培训计划包括五个知识领域： 心理健康服务研究、弱势人群研究、干预研究、实施 科学和先进的研究方法(如系统科学、混合方法)。一支由30人组成的高度 布朗学院副教授Leopoldo J.Cabassa博士领导的才华横溢的导师们支持我们的 培训计划。我们的教职员工来自华盛顿大学的4所学院和6个系。 在关键知识指导和NIH资助的积极研究方面的杰出成就记录 我们计划的领域。卓越的跨学科培训环境，包括17个研究中心 布朗学院、公共卫生研究所和临床与翻译科学研究所 支持我们的计划。 在我们成功培训心理健康服务研究人员的25年历史的基础上，我们的计划 继续通过以下增强功能进行创新。我们通过以下方式加强了我们的方法培训 增加新课程和指导系统科学、健康领域前沿研究的教师导师 差异研究、实施科学和高级数据分析。我们增加了一个指导委员会 (SC)由来自华盛顿大学和华盛顿大学内外的健康和精神健康服务研究负责人组成 为我们的教师提供新的培训机会，以提高他们的指导技能。我们提高了学员的科学性 通过要求访问NIMH资助的现有精神健康服务研究的学习站点来建立网络 美国我们增加了研讨会，以提高学员的科学交流技能，以更好地传播他们的工作 给更广泛的观众看。我们计划的总体使命是让学员获得心理健康服务 研究知识和技能，以满足社会工作领域最紧迫的需求，并促进 NIMH服务研究的公共卫生意义和影响。

PROJECT SUMMARY This renewal application requests funding for the Brown School’s Training Program in Mental Health Services Research at Washington University in St. Louis (Wash U). Our program will prepare 2 pre- and 2 post-doctoral trainees per year to acquire advanced mental health services research skills to address challenges faced by the most vulnerable populations in our nation. Specifically, persons living with mental disorders who seek care at the intersection of multiple services sectors, experience high needs for care, and are the least likely to secure needed services or to obtain high quality care. Our training program includes five knowledge domains: mental health services research, research with vulnerable populations, intervention research, implementation science, and advanced research methods (e.g., systems science, mixed methods). A team of 30 highly talented mentors led by Dr. Leopoldo J. Cabassa, Associate Professor at the Brown School, supports our training program. Our faculty are drawn from 4 Schools and 6 Departments across Wash U. They have a distinguished record of accomplishment in mentoring and active NIH-funded research in the critical knowledge domains of our program. An exceptional transdisciplinary training environment including 17 research centers at the Brown School, the Institute of Public Health, and the Institute for Clinical and Translational Science supports our program. Building on our 25-year history of successfully training mental health services researchers, our program continues to innovate with the following enhancements. We strengthened our methodological training by adding new courses and faculty mentors conducting cutting-edge research in systems science, health disparities research, implementation science, and advanced data analytics. We added a Steering Committee (SC) composed of leaders in health and mental health services research from inside and outside Wash U and new training opportunities for our faculty to enhance their mentoring skills. We enhanced trainees’ scientific networking by requiring a learning site visit to existing NIMH-funded mental health services studies across the U.S. We added workshops to improve trainees’ science communication skills to better disseminate their work to a broader audience. The overall mission of our program is for our trainees to acquire mental health services research knowledge and skills to meet the most pressing needs in the field of social work and to advance the public health significance and impact of NIMH-services research.
