SCHIZOPHRENIA RESEARCH TRAINING

这一培训计划的总体目的是增加 精神分裂症领域的研究人员有能力应用现代 临床研究和结合最新发展的技术是 对他们的调查进行神经科学研究。关于以下学科的培训 精神药理学，脑成像，遗传学，神经病理学，神经心理学， 分子神经生物学和流行病学将通过参与 教职员工积极从事精神分裂症相关研究。所有成员都有 联邦政府资助的研究项目。培训将培养研究技能 通过监督参与正在进行的研究，但实习生将 预计还将建设和执行独立的项目。教学工作 重点研究设计和统计，以及每周一次的精神分裂症研究 研讨会回顾了当前精神分裂症所有领域的研究。 该项目的受训人员将主要是已完成 他们的医学院训练和四年的住院医生。这些实习生 有相当丰富的诊断和治疗经验。 精神障碍，包括精神分裂症，但很可能缺乏特异性 研究技能，如开发可检验的假设，设计可行的 院校评审委员会可接受的研究研究，并收集 以及标准化研究数据的分析。除了这些MD 精神病学家，我们预计我们将招聘具有 具有基础科学研究背景。博士心理学家、医学博士神经学家，以及 对精神分裂症特别感兴趣的生物学家博士。我们将改编 培训以适应他们的背景和兴趣。申请了八份津贴 每年支助2至3名研究员，预计大多数人将得到一些支助 接受第三年的训练。 这项计划将在纽约州精神病研究所进行 (NYSPI)、纽约皇后区的Creedmoor精神病中心(CPC)和 哥伦比亚-纽约长老会医院(NYPH)长老会园区，由 哥伦比亚大学在这些机构的教职员工。总共有 一家研究机构每年有超过5000万美元的联邦拨款 与床位(包括12张床位指定精神分裂症住院患者的研究 NYS在NYSPI资助的单位)，CPC另外25个同样资助的研究床位， 一个NIMH精神分裂症中心赠款，一个休斯研究所，和其他五个MHCRC， 有研究人员和临床设施可以继续 执行这一拟议的培训计划，并取得了极大的成功是其 到目前为止的培训工作。

The overall purpose of this training program is to increase the number of researchers is the area of schizophrenia who have the ability to apply modern techniques of clinical research and incorporate recent developments is neuroscience into their investigations. Training in the disciplines of psychopharmacology, brain imaging, genetics, neuropathology, neuropsychology, molecular neurobiology and epidemiology will be offered by participating faculty actively engaged is schizophrenia-related research. All members have federally-funded research projects. The training will develop research skills by supervised participation is ongoing research, but the trainee will be expected to construct and execute independent projects as well. Didactic work focuses on research design and statistics, and a weekly schizophrenia research seminar reviews current schizophrenia research in all areas. Trainees for the project will primarily be psychiatrists who have completed both their medical school training and 4 years of residency. These trainees have had considerable experience with the diagnosis and treatment of major psychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia, but are likely to lack specific research skills such as developing testable hypotheses, designing a feasible research study acceptable to institutional review boards, and the collection and analysis of standardized research data. In addition to these MD psychiatrists, we expect that we will recruit MD/PhD psychiatrists with a background in basic science research. PhD psychologists, MD neurologists, and PhD biologists with a special interest in schizophrenia. We will adapt the training to suit their background and interests. Eight stipends are requested to support 2 to 3 fellows per year, with most projected to receive some support for a third year of training. This program will be conducted at the New York State Psychiatric Institute (NYSPI), the Creedmoor Psychiatric Center (CPC) in Queens, NY, and the Columbia-Presbyterian campus of the New York Presbyterian Hospital (NYPH), by faculty members of Columbia University at these institutions. With a total of over fifty million dollars annually is federal grants, a research institute with 64 beds (including a 12 bed designated schizophrenia inpatient research unit funded by NYS at NYSPI), another 25 research beds at CPC similarly funded, an NIMH schizophrenia center grant, a Hughes Institute, and 5 other MHCRCs, there exists the research personnel and clinical facilities to continue to execute this proposed training program, which has had excellent success is its training efforts thus far.
