Mental Health Economics Training Program

描述(由申请人提供)：加州大学伯克利分校的精神健康经济学培训计划建立在1988年至2003年在加州大学伯克利分校运作的精神健康金融和服务交付计划(T32 MH18828)研究培训的成功基础上。 这一新的研究培训项目从与社会福利学院共同指导的多学科重点项目转变为由公共卫生学院管理的侧重于心理健康经济学的博士后培训项目。新项目将公共卫生学院的心理健康经济学经验与来自经济系、加州大学伯克利分校高盛公共政策学院和加州大学旧金山分校药学院的教职员工的专家参与相结合。 每年，该项目将招聘三名经济学家，他们来自领先部门或密切相关的背景，例如侧重于经济学的公共政策。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。该项目的教职员工将特别关注招聘代表不足的少数族裔。此外，每年，该学院将努力招聘至少一名对药物经济学领域的研究感兴趣的博士后。 这是一个为期两年的博士后培训计划，包括授课研讨会和强有力的指导成分，以确保受训人员进行的研究具有政策相关性。每名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方面的背景，另一名来自经济系、公共政策系或药学院。受训者将与他们的导师密切合作，制定研究议程。一个由精神健康专家和临床医生组成的外部委员会将建议主题并评估研究主题的政策相关性。 该计划的教学部分是根据受训者的背景量身定做的。学员将在两年内参加六个研讨会。在研讨会和非正式学者聚会中，学员将受益于一个学习环境，其中包括首席研究员指导的培训项目中的其他博士后学者，这些培训项目包括Fogarty International-NIH针对捷克共和国学者的卫生政策研究培训计划、罗伯特·伍德·约翰逊基金会卫生政策研究学者培训计划和卫生保健研究和高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.
