DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In order to meet the nation's growing need for researchers in clinical psychiatry, translational neuroscience, and interventions/mental health services research, we propose in this competing renewal of R25 MH60473-06 to continue our Junior Faculty Scholars (JFS) program, designed to assist newly appointed assistant professors earn K23 and K01 awards. Of 22 scholar participants in the program, 16 have submitted K awards, 15 have been reviewed to date, and 13 (86.7%) have been funded (6 on the first submission, 7 on the second submission); this compares with an NIMH-wide success rate of 36% over the past five years. The JFS program encompasses a two-year period of 25% salary support, a weekly research survival skills practicum, mentoring by a senior mental health researcher, availability of seed money support, and access to data management and biostatistical support. Scholars also participate in workshops designed to enhance knowledge of biostatistics, psychiatric genetics, neuroimaging, and mental health interventions and services research. In order to correct another remediable "leak" from the pipeline of new mental health researchers, we also propose to broaden the scope of the current JFS program to assist further development of scholars who have obtained K awards toward two additional career-development objectives: (1) R01 support; and (2) enhanced mentoring skills. We will help Scholars and their Mentors develop intensive long-term mentoring plans to realize these two developmental objectives, thereby enlarging a dedicated cadre of mentors in psychiatric research. At the same time we are committed to maintaining our efforts to help minority researchers (primarily African American) launch and maintain their careers in mental health research, an objective we will pursue in collaboration with the University's new EXPORT Center. Our Research Education Evaluation plan will track the success of Scholars in competing for research career development (K01 or K23) and subsequent R01 awards (Specific Aim 1) and mid-career independent scientist awards (K02 or K24) (Specific Aim 2); as well as the success of under-represented minority Scholars in garnering career-development and other competitive research support (Specific Aim 3).

描述(由申请人提供)：为了满足国家对临床精神病学、翻译神经科学和干预/心理健康服务研究方面日益增长的研究人员的需求，我们建议在R25 MH60473-06的竞争续订中继续我们的初级教师学者(JFS)计划，旨在帮助新任命的助理教授获得K23和K01奖项。在该计划的22名奖学金参与者中，16人提交了K奖，15人迄今已接受审查，13人(86.7%)已获得资助(第一次提交6人，第二次提交7人)；相比之下，过去五年NIMH的成功率为36%。JFS计划包括为期两年的25%的工资支持，每周一次的研究生存技能练习，由一名高级心理健康研究人员进行指导，提供种子资金支持，以及获得数据管理和生物统计支持。学者还参加旨在加强生物统计学、精神病学遗传学、神经成像以及心理健康干预和服务研究的知识的研讨会。 为了纠正来自新的精神健康研究人员的另一个可补救的“漏洞”，我们还建议扩大当前JFS计划的范围，以帮助获得K奖的学者进一步发展，以实现两个额外的职业发展目标：(1)R01支持；以及(2)增强指导技能。我们将帮助学者和他们的导师制定密集的长期指导计划，以实现这两个发展目标，从而扩大精神病学研究方面的专门导师队伍。与此同时，我们致力于继续努力帮助少数族裔研究人员(主要是非裔美国人)开始并保持他们在心理健康研究方面的职业生涯，这是我们将与大学新的出口中心合作追求的目标。 我们的研究教育评估计划将追踪学者在竞争研究职业发展(K01或K23)和随后的R01奖(特定目标1)和职业生涯中期独立科学家奖(K02或K24)(特定目标2)方面的成功情况；以及代表不足的少数族裔学者在获得职业发展和其他竞争性研究支持方面的成功(特定目标3)。
