Training Program in Childhood Neuropsychiatric Disorders

项目摘要 这是耶鲁大学T32培训补助金“培训计划”的5年续期申请 儿童神经精神障碍”（T32 MH 018268）。我们的计划侧重于准备 科学家，在临床和基础科学，为独立的职业生涯作为领域领先的调查， 对儿童神经精神疾病进行研究。像我们这样的培训项目 需要考虑到：（1）大量儿童受到严重精神疾病的影响或有可能患上严重精神疾病; 2)与他们的护理相关的社会成本相当高; 3）有限的功效和有效性 现有的治疗和预防方案; 4）在该领域积极的研究人员数量少; 五是出现了尚未充分实现的相关科技进步。 在过去的34年里，我们已经招募了107名T32博士后研究员。大多数受训人员 妇女占56%，近20%是代表性不足的少数民族。在过去的15年里， 86%的学员完成了至少两年的T32奖学金。大多数学员， 80%继续积极参与有关儿童神经精神疾病的研究。 大多数学员发表了多篇同行评审论文，许多学员获得了 许多独立的研究赠款和职业发展奖。他们的工作 国际声誉和我们的许多毕业生是在各自领域的领军人物。独特的是， 这个T32项目与一个非常成功的六年制儿童、青少年和成人综合项目完全结合在一起， 儿童精神病学的研究和临床住院医师培训计划。在这次更新中，我们寻求扩大 我们现有的合作，包括与相邻部门的联合培训机会， 与附近的学术机构合作，重点是儿童心理健康。我们包括明确的训练 团队科学我们相信，这种培训将增加我们的学员的成功，重新定位文化 的学术机构，以更好地支持，更大的回报，并提高质量的指导， 临床和转化研究。我们将继续把重点放在职业发展上 通过提供个人指导沿着团队科学的经验培训， 教学活动。在培训过程的早期，为每个学员制定个性化的培训计划， 并在整个过程中受到密切监测。提高写作技能，指导 平衡个人生活和职业生涯，并接触跨学科的共同导师 我们的T32奖学金计划。

Project Summary This is an application for a 5-year renewal of the Yale University’s T32 Training Grant "Training Program in Childhood Neuropsychiatric Disorders" (T32 MH018268). Our program focuses on preparing scientists, in both clinical and basic sciences, for independent careers as field- leading investigators, conducting research on childhood neuropsychiatric disorders. Training programs like ours are urgently needed given: 1) the large number of children affected by or at risk to develop major mental illnesses; 2) the considerable costs to society associated with their care; 3) the limited efficacy and effectiveness of available treatment and prevention programs; 4) the small number of active investigators in the field; and 5) the emergence of relevant scientific and technological advances that have yet to be fully realized. Over the past 34 years, we have recruited 107 T32 Postdoctoral Fellows. A majority of these trainees have been women (56%) and close to 20% have been underrepresented minorities. In the last 15 years, 86% percent of the trainees completed at least two years of the T32 Fellowship. A majority of trainees, 80% continue to be actively involved in research concerning Childhood Neuropsychiatric Disorders. Most trainees have published multiple peer-reviewed papers and many trainees have obtained numerous independent research grants and career development awards. Their work has garnered international acclaim and many of our graduates are leading figures in their respective fields. Uniquely, this T32 program is fully united with a highly successful six-year integrated child, adolescent and adult research and clinical residency training program in child psychiatry. In this renewal, we seek to expand upon our existing collaborations involving joint training opportunities with adjoining departments and with nearby academic institutions with an emphasis in child mental health. We include explicit training in team science. We believe this training will augment the success of our trainees, reorienting the culture of the academic institution to better support, greater reward, and an enhanced quality of mentorship in clinical and translational research. We will continue to place a major emphasis on career development by providing individual mentoring along with experiential training in team science, complemented by didactic activities. A personalized training plan is developed for each trainee early during the course of the Fellowship and is monitored closely throughout. Enhancement of writing skills, guidance on balancing personal life and professional career, and exposure to cross-disciplinary co-mentors characterize our T32 Fellowship program.
