CLINICAL RESEARCH TRAINING IN CHILD PSYCHIATRY

该申请是 5T32MH18951-07 的竞争性更新，5T32MH18951-07 是一项针对儿童精神病学家、儿童心理学家和其他相关领域的博士后专业人士的博士后临床研究培训计划。请求为四名住院医师后儿童精神病学家、四名博士后儿童心理学家和四名医学生的夏季研究选修课提供支持。在夏季研究经历中，医学生将与培训教师的研究导师合作，对可出版的产品进行项目阅读，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学员提出原创和深入的研究问题，并获得必要的技术专业知识，为他们在以下至少一个领域的职业和独立研究者做好准备：（1）心理社会和精神药理学临床试验； （二）心理健康服务研究； (3) 发展性精神病理学发生和过程中的心理和心理生物学因素； (4) 与发育精神病理学相关的基础科学研究（例如遗传学、发育神经科学）。该计划涉及一个多学科教师团队，他们在研究和研究培训方面拥有悠久而成功的历史，在上述所有领域都拥有专业知识。 该计划最重要的方面是将受训者与一位学术上成功的导师配对，导师将让受训者参与现有项目，监督他们撰写批判性评论论文和相关协议，反映该领域的重大进展，并将带来独立研究和资助。将为每位学员开发个性化的教学学习课程，以确保学员获得研究设计、统计和与学员研究兴趣相关的内容领域的核心知识。学员将通过三场研讨会获得核心技能：（1）发展精神病理学文献的批判性评估； (2) 研究问题的制定、拨款写作和项目管理（“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.
