Mental Health Economics Training Program

描述（由申请人提供）：心理健康经济学培训计划在加州大学伯克利分校建立在心理健康金融和服务交付计划（T32 MH 18828）的研究培训的成功，以前在加州大学伯克利分校从1988年至2003年运行。 这个新的研究培训计划从一个与社会福利学院共同指导的计划转变为一个专注于心理健康经济学博士后培训的计划，并由公共卫生学院管理。新计划结合了公共卫生学院的心理健康经济学经验，由经济系，加州大学伯克利分校公共政策高盛学院和加州大学旧金山弗朗西斯科药学院的教师专家参与。 每年，该计划将招募三名来自领先部门或密切相关背景的经济学家，例如，以经济学为重点的公共政策。申请者将来自全国范围内的经济系、商学院和公共政策学院。该计划的教师将特别注意招聘代表性不足的少数民族。此外，每年，该学院将努力招募至少一名有兴趣在药物经济学领域进行研究的博士后。 这是一个为期两年的博士后培训计划，其中包括教学研讨会和强大的导师组成部分，以确保学员进行的研究的政策相关性。每个学员将与至少两名导师配对;一名来自公共卫生学院，具有心理健康经济学和卫生政策背景，另一名来自经济学，公共政策或药学院。学员将与导师密切合作，制定研究议程。一个由心理健康专家和临床医生组成的外部委员会将提出主题，并评估研究主题的政策相关性。 该方案的教学部分是根据受训者的背景量身定制的。受训人员将在两年内参加六次研讨会。在研讨会上，并通过非正式的学者聚会，学员将受益于一个学习环境，其中包括其他博士后学者的培训计划，由主要研究者，其中包括福格蒂国际国家卫生研究院卫生政策研究培训计划的学者从捷克共和国，罗伯特·伍德约翰逊基金会卫生政策研究培训计划学者和卫生保健研究和质量卫生服务研究机构培训计划。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Mental Health Economics Training Program at the University of California, Berkeley builds on the success of the Research Training in Mental Health Finance and Services Delivery Program (T32 MH18828) previously in operation at UC Berkeley from 1988-2003. This new research training program shifts from a program co-directed with the School of Social Welfare with a multi-disciplinary emphasis to one that focuses on post-doctoral training in mental health economics and is administered by the School of Public Health. The new program combines the mental health economics experience of the School of Public Health with expert involvement by faculty from the Economics Department, the Goldman School of Public Policy at UC Berkeley, and the School of Pharmacy at UC San Francisco. Each year, the program will recruit three economists from leading departments or closely related backgrounds, e.g., public policy with an emphasis in economics. The pool of applicants will come from a national search of departments of economics, business schools and public policy schools. The program faculty will pay particular attention to recruiting under-represented minorities. In addition, each year, the faculty will make an effort to recruit at least one post-doc interested in conducting research in the area of pharmacoeconomics. This is a two-year post-doctoral training program that includes didactic seminars and a strong mentorship component to ensure the policy relevance of the research conducted by the trainees. Each trainee will be paired with at least two mentors; one from the School of Public Health who will have a background in mental health economics and health policy, and the second from either the Departments of Economics, Public Policy, or the School of Pharmacy. The trainees will work closely with their mentors in developing a research agenda. An outside committee of mental health experts and clinicians will suggest topics and evaluate the policy relevance of the research topics. The program's didactic component is tailored to the background of the trainees. Trainees will participate in six seminars during the two years. In the seminars and through informal scholar gatherings the trainees will benefit from a learning environment which includes other post-doctoral scholars from training programs directed by the principal investigator which include the Fogarty International-NIH Health Policy Research Training Program for scholars from the Czech Republic, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Scholars in Health Policy Research Training Program and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality Health Services Research Training Program.
