Developing the Research Base for DSM-V and ICD-11

描述（由申请人提供）：申请支持一系列为期五年的11次会议，这些会议将汇集领先的国家和国际研究人员，专注于代表未来DSM-V工作组面临的一些最紧迫的诊断问题的具体诊断问题。提出这一系列会议有以下三个目的：1)促进科学界重要成员之间的国际合作，以增加制定未来统一的DSM/ICD的可能性；2)促进必要的实证研究，以便就DSM-IV中确定的关键诊断缺陷做出明智的决策；3)对于那些现有DSM- iv标准可能阻碍研究进展的疾病，促进共识标准的发展，这些标准可被研究界用作临床DSM标准的替代方案，用于未来精神疾病的病因学和病理生理学研究。每一次会议将有三个总体目标：1)介绍与具体诊断问题相关的当前数据的综述，这将是会议的重点；2)为研究设计制定一个短期的以问题为重点的研究议程，这可能会显著增强解决这些诊断问题所需的经验数据库；3)制定策略，促进相关实证数据的收集。研究综述、研究议程和替代研究标准的摘要将通过出版的专著、会议报告和在DSM网站上发布的方式传播给研究界和临床界。通过促进系统的国际合作努力，丰富与诊断相关的研究数据库，我们希望促进制定更有效和最终统一的国家和国际精神障碍分类。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Application is made for the support of a series of eleven conferences over five years which will bring together leading national and international researcher investigators to focus on specific diagnostic issues representing some of the most pressing diagnostic issues facing the future DSM-V workgroups. This series of conferences is proposed with the following three aims in mind: 1) to promote international collaboration among important members of the scientific community in order to increase the likelihood of developing a future unified DSM/ICD; 2) to stimulate the empirical research necessary to allow informed decision making regarding crucial diagnostic deficiencies identified in DSM-IV; 3) for those disorders in which the existing DSM-IV criteria may hinder research advances, to facilitate the development of consensus criteria that could be used by the research community as an alternative to the clinical DSM criteria for future research into the etiology and pathophysiology of mental disorders. Each of the eleven conference will have three general objectives: 1) to present reviews of current data relevant to the specific diagnostic question(s) that will be the focus of the conference 2) to develop a short-term issue-focused research agenda for the design of studies that may significantly enhance the empirical data base necessary for resolving these diagnostic issues; and 3) to develop strategies to facilitate the collection of the relevant empirical data. Summaries of the research reviews, research agendas, and alternative research criteria will be disseminated to the research and clinical communities through published monographs, presentations at conferences, and posting on a DSM web site. By stimulating a systematic collaborative international effort to enrich the diagnostically-relevant research data base, we hope to facilitate the development of a more valid and ultimately unified national and international classification of mental disorders.
