DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Department of Biostatistics and the Department of Psychiatry and Behavior Sciences at the University of Washington proposes a research training program in mental health biostatistics that will support five predoctoral students. The training program will be structured in such a way that trainees will receive (1) sound training in the foundations of biostatistical theory and applications, (2) sound training in mental health services research and neurobiologic research through formal courses, mental health projects, seminars, journal clubs, and interactions with mental health trainees from other disciplines. The program will be centered in the Department of Biostatistics in the School of Public Health. The academic component of the training program will include the foundations of biostatistical theory and applications and course work in the neurobiologic, epidemiology, health services of mental health. Most of formal biostatistical courses to be taken by trainees will be taught by faculty members in the Departments of Biostatistics and Statistics. New courses on methodological issues in mental health research will be supplemented to the existing curriculum. The trainees will also attend regular series of weekly biostatistical seminars and weekly mental health works- in-progress seminars. The research component of the training program will emphasize collaboration in ongoing biostatistical methodology research and significant involvement in one of more mental health research projects. The mental health research projects will be identified from ongoing clinical studies in mental health as well as databases from completed mental health studies at University of Washington, Group Health Cooperative of Puget Sound, and U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Puget Sound Health Care System. The vast majority of preceptors for this training grant will be from the Departments of Biostatistics and Psychiatry and Behavior Sciences at the University of Washington, and others will be from the Departments of Psychology, Health Services, Epidemiology, and Medicine at the University of Washington as well as the Center for Health Studies of Group Health Cooperative. Preceptors will help the trainees gain the knowledge and skills in biostatistics and mental health necessary to have a successful biostatistical research career in mental health. Each trainee will be one biostatistical preceptor and one clinical preceptor.

描述（由申请人提供）：华盛顿大学生物统计系和精神病学与行为科学系提出了一项心理健康生物统计研究培训计划，将支持五名博士生预科生。培训计划将以这样的方式进行，受训人员将接受(1)生物统计理论和应用基础方面的良好培训，(2)通过正式课程、心理健康项目、研讨会、期刊俱乐部以及与其他学科的心理健康学员的互动，进行心理健康服务研究和神经生物学研究方面的良好培训。该项目将以公共卫生学院生物统计系为中心。培训计划的学术部分将包括生物统计理论和应用的基础，以及神经生物学、流行病学、精神卫生保健服务的课程。学员所修的大多数正式生物统计学课程将由生物统计学和统计学系的教员讲授。有关心理健康研究方法问题的新课程将作为现有课程的补充。受训人员还将定期参加每周生物统计学研讨会和每周正在进行的精神卫生工作研讨会。培训计划的研究部分将强调在正在进行的生物统计方法学研究方面的合作，以及在多个心理健康研究项目中的一个方面的重大参与。心理健康研究项目将从正在进行的心理健康临床研究以及华盛顿大学、普吉特海湾卫生合作组织和美国退伍军人事务部普吉特海湾卫生保健系统完成的心理健康研究的数据库中确定。这一培训补助金的绝大多数导师将来自华盛顿大学的生物统计学、精神病学和行为科学系，其他的将来自华盛顿大学的心理学系、卫生服务系、流行病学和医学系以及团体卫生合作社的卫生研究中心。辅导员将帮助受训者获得生物统计和心理健康方面的知识和技能，以便在心理健康方面进行成功的生物统计研究。每个受训者将担任一名生物统计学导师和一名临床导师。
