We propose to continue and to strengthen a Mentorship and Educational Program (MEP) in Mental Health Services Research at the University of New Mexico (UNM). This program began to receive NIMH funding in August 1999. Focusing on minority mental health issues in primary care settings, especially disparities in mental health outcomes, the MEP provides an intensive, one-week annual training session, which introduces mental health services research to minority junior faculty members and graduate students. The MEP also enhances ongoing mentorship relationships with outstanding mental health researchers who serve as both advisers for the trainees' research and as role models in their career development. The overall aims of the MEP are to: 1) teach trainees basic research methods in this field, with an emphasis on how to write proposals and manage funded proposals; 2) introduce trainees to important recent findings of mental health services research, with special emphasis on research concerning the disparities in mental health outcomes that affect minority populations of the Southwest; 3) establish networks among trainees and research mentors; 4) help trainees with various aspects of career development; S) produce a minority-oriented mental health services research curriculum that is exportable to other educational institutions; and 6) initiate an ongoing sequence of training sessions in mental health services research on an annual basis. Targeted participants for the MEP include the minority junior faculty members who have participated in the NIMH-funded Minority Research Infrastructure Support Program (M-RISP) at UNM, other minority faculty members at UNM, and minority trainees from other institutions in the Southwest region. Each participating trainee is matched with a mentor at UNM and/or an external mentor with whom to work during the one-week MEP session and during the following year. External faculty members, who include outstanding minority mental health services researchers able to serve as role models, teach at the MEP annual session and then act as ongoing mentors. UNM-based faculty meet with local trainees on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. We expect that the Institute will continue to develop a focus for mental health services research in New Mexico and the Southwest region and to emerge as a nationally recognized model for training of minority faculty members in mental health research at the interface with primary care.

我们建议继续并加强新墨西哥大学(UNM)精神卫生服务研究的导师和教育计划(MEP)。该项目于1999年8月开始接受NIMH的资助。MEP专注于初级保健环境中的少数族裔精神健康问题，特别是精神健康结果方面的差异，提供为期一周的强化年度培训课程，向少数族裔初级教员和研究生介绍精神卫生服务研究。MEP还加强了与优秀精神卫生研究人员的持续指导关系，这些研究人员既是受训者研究的顾问，也是他们职业发展的榜样。MEP的总体目标是：1)向受训人员传授这一领域的基本研究方法，重点是如何撰写建议书和管理获得资助的建议书；2)向受训人员介绍最近精神健康服务研究的重要发现，特别重视影响西南少数民族人口的精神健康结果差异的研究；3)在受训人员和研究导师之间建立网络；4)帮助受训人员掌握职业发展的各个方面；S)编制面向少数群体的精神健康服务研究课程，可输出到其他教育机构；以及6)每年启动一系列持续的精神健康服务研究培训课程。MEP的目标参与者包括参加过NIMH资助的UNM的少数民族研究基础设施支持计划(M-RISP)的少数民族初级教员、UNM的其他少数民族教员以及来自西南地区其他机构的少数民族实习生。每名参加培训的学员都与一名UNM的导师和/或一名外部导师配对，以便在为期一周的欧洲议会会议期间和下一年与之共事。外部教员，包括能够充当榜样的杰出的少数族裔心理健康服务研究人员，在MEP年度会议上授课，然后担任持续导师。总部设在新墨西哥州大学的教职员工每周或每两周与当地受训人员会面。我们预计，该研究所将继续把重点放在新墨西哥州和西南部地区的精神健康服务研究上，并成为全国公认的在初级保健界面上培训少数族裔教职员工进行精神健康研究的模式。
