CLINICAL RESEARCH TRAINING IN CHILD PSYCHIATRY

此申请是5T32MH18951-07的竞争性更新，5T32MH18951-07是儿童精神病学家，儿童心理学家和其他相关领域的博士准备专业的博士后临床研究培训计划。要求支助4名住院后儿童精神病医生、4名博士后儿童心理学家和4名医科学生参加夏季研究选修课。在暑期研究经历中，医科学生将与来自培训学院的研究导师一起工作，阅读一个可发表的产品，以激发对儿童精神病学研究的更大兴趣。博士后培训计划帮助受训者提出原创和深刻的研究问题，并获得必要的技术专长，为他们在以下至少一个领域的职业生涯和独立研究者做好准备：(1)社会心理和精神药理学临床试验；(2)心理卫生服务研究；(3)发展性精神病理学发病过程中的心理和心理生物学因素；(4)与发展精神病理学相关的基础科学研究（如遗传学、发展神经科学）。一个具有长期和成功的研究和研究培训历史的多学科教师团队参与了该计划，具有上述所有领域的专业知识。该计划最重要的方面是将学员与学术上成功的导师配对，导师将使学员参与现有项目，监督他们撰写重要的评论论文和相关协议，这些协议反映了该领域的重大进步，并将导致独立研究和资助。为每位学员量身定制的教学研究课程，以确保获得与学员研究兴趣相关的研究设计、统计和内容领域的核心知识。学员将通过三个研讨会获得核心技能：(1)发展性精神病理学文献的批判性评价；(2)研究问题的制定、拨款的撰写和项目管理（“研究生存技能”）；(3)管理研究过程中的伦理问题。

This application is a competitive renewal of 5T32MH18951-07, a postdoctoral clinical research training program for child psychiatrists, child psychologists, and other doctorally-prepared professionally in related fields. Support is requested for four post-residency child psychiatrists, four post-doctoral child psychologists, and four medical students for summer research electives. In the summer research experience, medical students will work with a research preceptor from the training faculty on a project reading to a publishable product in order to stimulate greater interest in child psychiatry research. The postdoctoral training program helps trainees develop original and incisive research questions, and acquire requisite technical expertise to prepare them for careers ad independent investigators in at least one of the following areas: (1) psychosocial and psychopharmacological clinical trials; (2) mental health services research; (3) psychological and psychobiological factors in the onset and course of developmental psychopathology; and (4) basic science research linked to developmental psychopathology (e.g., genetics, developmental neuroscience). An multi- disciplinary faculty group with a long and successful history of research and research training is involved with the program, with expertise in all of the above-noted areas. The foremost aspect of the program is the pairing of the trainee with an academically successful mentor who will involve the trainee in existing projects, supervise them in the development of a critical review paper and of a related protocol that reflects a significant advance in the field and will lead to independent research and funding. A individually tailored course of didactic study will be developed for each trainee to insure the acquisition of core knowledge in research design, statistics, and content areas relevant to the research interests of the trainee. Trainees will acquire core skills through three seminars in (1) critical appraisal of the developmental psychopathology literature; (2) formulation of research questions, grant writing, and project management ("research survival skills"); and (3) managing ethical issues in the conduct of research.
