The NIMH has identified as areas of concern (1) a decline in numbers of clinical research applications and (2) a future shortfall in numbers of trained mental health clinical researchers. These concerns are particularly poignant at a time when rapid advances in basic neuroscience and methodology will permit translation of research findings into direct clinical application. The objective of the present proposal is to address these concerns by formalizing and funding an integrated program at New York University to attract, train and retain a select group of psychiatric residents who have identified clinical research as their primary career goal. The planned program will capitalize on the following: (1) existing strengths in medical student training in psychiatry and the neurosciences, (2) existing medical student electives and summer internships in mental health clinical research supported by the Stanley Foundation and by other departmental resources, (3) existing strengths in the Residency Training Program in Psychiatry and the enthusiasm of Residency and Departmental leadership to contribute significant resources and to coordinate these with this training program, (4) an outstanding group of present PGY1 and PGY2 residents with significant clinical research interests, (5) continued and growing strength in the resident applicant pool, and (6) a solid and varied faculty with a commitment and track record of successful clinical research training, excellent physical plant resources and broad research funding, a rich didactic program, and an almost unlimited ethnically and socio- economically diverse clinical population. The NIMH support requested is to fund a year of fully dedicated research time for each of three psychiatry residents to occur in between their PGY2 and PGY3 years. The clinical research training program will in fact begin during the residency recruitment/interviewing stage, and continue through completion of the PGY4 year. This will permit a single year of NIMH support to be leveraged into five years of clinical research training, more than two of which will be devoted to full time research activities. By early in the final training year trainees will be expected to submit applications for peer reviewed funding to support further career development and individual research projects.

NIMH已经确定了关注的领域：（1）临床研究申请数量的下降和（2）未来训练有素的心理健康临床研究人员数量的短缺。 在基础神经科学和方法学的快速发展将使研究成果转化为直接临床应用的时候，这些担忧尤其尖锐。 本提案的目的是解决这些问题的正式化和资金在纽约大学的综合计划，以吸引，培训和保留一组选定的精神科住院医师谁已确定临床研究作为他们的主要职业目标。 计划中的方案将利用以下方面：（1）医学院学生在精神病学及神经科学方面的现有优势，（2）由史丹利基金会及其他部门资源资助的精神健康临床研究方面的现有医学院学生选修课程及暑期实习，（三）精神病学住院医师培训计划的现有优势以及住院医师和部门领导的热情，资源，并协调这些与这个培训计划，（4）目前PGY 1和PGY 2居民具有显着的临床研究兴趣，（5）在居民申请人池持续和不断增长的实力，和（6）一个坚实的和多样化的教师与成功的临床研究培训，优良的物理植物资源和广泛的研究资金的承诺和跟踪记录，一个丰富的教学计划，和一个几乎无限的种族和社会经济多样化的临床人口。NIMH的支持要求是为三名精神病学住院医生中的每一位在他们的PGY 2和PGY 3年之间提供一年的专门研究时间。 临床研究培训计划实际上将在住院医师招募/面试阶段开始，并持续到完成PGY 4年。 这将允许一年的NIMH支持被利用到五年的临床研究培训，其中两个以上将致力于全职研究活动。 在最后一年的早期，受训人员将提交同行审查资金申请，以支持进一步的职业发展和个人研究项目。
