TRAINING PROGRAM IN MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES RESEARCH

拟议中的NRSA计划将侧重于培训心理健康服务研究的博士后候选人。博士后培训计划将基于阿肯色州大学医学科学（UAMS）的一个大型心理健康服务研究计划，并将利用与UAMS其他学院和部门以及与小石城阿肯色州大学卫生服务部门的多学科合作机会。学员将代表各种学科，如精神病学，护理，卫生服务研究，心理学，社会学，社会工作，经济学，流行病学，生物统计学和其他医学专业。学员将获得两年或三年的研究培训。培训生计划将包括两个共同的专业组成部分，以解决以前的教育，临床经验和能力领域的相似性和差异，学员带来的程序。共同的组成部分包括心理健康服务研究和指导研究活动方面的培训。学院将为博士后学员提供个性化的学术和研究计划，以提高现有的专业知识和研究兴趣。学员将有机会通过对已完成项目的二次分析，参与经验丰富的调查人员的研究计划。此外，学员将在自己的研究提案，论文和演示文稿的发展中接受个人指导。要求为博士后学员提供7个2年期培训和3个3年期培训。将努力吸引致力于了解和改善心理健康服务的专业人员。将通过大学的一些举措积极寻找少数族裔候选人。

The proposed NRSA program will focus on training postdoctoral candidates in Mental Health Services Research. The postdoctoral training program will be based in a large mental health services research program at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) and will take advantage of opportunities for multi-disciplinary collaboration with other colleges and departments at UAMS and with the health services department at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. Trainees will represent a variety of disciplines such as psychiatry, nursing, health services research, psychology, sociology, social work, economics, epidemiology, biostatistics, and other specialties in medicine. Trainees will be supported for either two or three years of research training. The program for trainees will include both common specialized components to address similarities and differences in prior education, clinical experiences, and areas of competency which trainees bring to the program. The common components include training in mental health services research and mentored research activities. Faculty will individualize the academic and research programs for postdoctoral trainees to enhance existing expertise and research interests. Trainees will have the opportunity to participate in research programs of experienced investigators through secondary analyses of completed projects. In addition, trainees will receive individual mentoring in the development of their own research proposals, papers, and presentations. Funding is requested for seven 2-year traineeships and three 3-year traineeships for postdoctoral trainees. Efforts will be made to attract trainees who are committed to a career specific to understanding and improving mental health services. Minority candidates will be actively sought through a number of University initiatives.
