Research Colloquium for Junior Investigators

这项提议是为了在美国精神病学协会(APA)年会期间为初级调查人员设立一个研究座谈会。这项一年一度的活动在过去五年中每年都在国家精神卫生研究所(NIMH)、国家药物滥用研究所(NIDA)、国家酒精滥用和酒精中毒研究所(NIAAA)和制药行业来源的赞助下举行，美国精神病学协会(APA)研究培训委员会的行政指导。这项建议的主要具体目标是确定目前和未来的高级精神病学住院医师、研究员和初级教职精神病学家(特别强调少数族裔和女性)，他们是成功研究生涯的特别有希望的候选人；提供为期一天的强化指导培训课程，允许这些参与者在小组会议上介绍他们目前或建议的研究方案，并接受教员指导和同行反馈。次要的具体目标是鼓励正在考虑从事研究事业、目前正在接受研究培训或开始研究生涯的个人继续这条职业道路；提供信息和确定资源，帮助初级调查人员寻求和获得外部资金，使他们能够开展成功的研究事业。每年在生物精神病学学会会议结束和APA年会开始时的周日将举行为期一天的研讨会。共有45名初级调查人员将被选中参加，他们将分成五名参与者和两名教职员工组成一个小组，受训人员将对当前或拟议的研究进行15-20分钟的陈述，还将被要求在中午的海报会议上展示海报，并将接受额外的教职员工指导。第一期讲习班将在2001年5月在新奥尔良举行的会议期间举行，并将在本次会议之后的四年内再次提交给《行动纲领》年度会议。

This proposal is for the establishment of a research colloquium for junior investigators held during the annual meeting of the American Psychiatric Association (APA). This annual event has taken place in each of the past five years under the sponsorship of the National Institute on Mental Health (NIMH), the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), and pharmaceutical industry sources, with administrative direction from the American Psychiatric Association (APA) Committee on Research Training. The primary specific aims of this proposal are to identify current and future senior psychiatric residents, research fellows and junior faculty psychiatrists (with special emphasis on ethnic/racial minorities and women) who are especially promising candidates for successful research careers; provide a one-day intensive, mentored, training session that will allow these participants to present their current or proposed research protocols in small group sessions and to receive faculty mentoring and peer feedback. The secondary specific aims are to encourage individuals contemplating a research career, currently in research training or initiating a research career as beginning investigators to continue this career path; provide information and identify resources that will help beginning investigators to seek and obtain outside funding that will enable them to launch successful research careers. A one day workshop will be held annually on the Sunday that falls at the end of the Society for Biological Psychiatry meeting and at the beginning of the APA annual meeting. A total of 45 junior investigators will be selected to participate and will meet in small groups of five participants and two faculty, where the trainees will provide a 15-20 minute presentation of a current or proposed study and also will be required to present a poster during a noon poster session and will receive additional faculty mentoring. The first workshop will be held during the May 2001 meeting in New Orleans and will be presented again at the APA annual meetings during the next four years following this meeting.
