DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Project Summary: This application is for competitive renewal of our Institutional National Research Service Award (T32) based in the University of Rochester's Center for the Study and Prevention of Suicide (CSPS). Its objectives are (1) to develop a cadre of young scientists with the depth and breath of knowledge and experience necessary to establish careers as independent investigators in the area of suicide prevention; and (2) to foster communication between intervention researchers so that advances in their work can be more effectively brought to bear on the important public health challenge of suicide. The CSPS T32 will provide seven stipends each year for post-doctoral fellows in psychology, psychiatry, and other relevant disciplines. Fellows ordinarily undergo a three-year training sequence that includes a coordinated series of courses and seminars designed to provide him/her with a firm foundation in the theories and methods of clinical intervention research. Core areas of knowledge and skill development include (a) suicidology, (b) research design and methods for studies with high-risk patient populations, (c) biostatistics, (d) grant writing and writing for publication, and (e) the ethics of research. Throughout the training period each fellow works with a primary mentor selected from the UR faculty, and one or more co-mentors, on development and implementation of an individually tailored program of applied suicide prevention research. As well, fellows are supported in establishing ties with a rich assortment of off-site expert consultants who are also collaborators in CSPS studies. Telephone, e-mail, and videoconferencing communications may be supplemented with visits by the fellow to the consultant's institution for brief or extended periods of mentored research exposure. The extensive network of CSPS collaborators supports recruitment of outstanding early career investigators a well. A rigorous evaluation plan will closely track the performance of each trainee as well as assess the program's success over the longer term in preparing its graduates for careers in intervention research in general and suicide prevention studies in particular. Relevance: There is a critical shortage of clinical researchers trained in the study of preventive interventions. Suicide is a major public health problem, and an area in which the lack of rigorously trained prevention scientists is particularly acute. The CSPS T32 is the only institutional postdoctoral research training program in the country the focus of which is suicide studies. Embedded in the CSPS, it offers a rich and diverse array of resources for training, both at the University of Rochester and through its extensive network of collaborators nationwide, and represents an important part of the "pipeline" of early career investigators in suicide studies.

描述（由申请人提供）：项目摘要：本申请是我们的机构国家研究服务奖（T32）的竞争性更新，总部设在罗切斯特的研究和预防自杀（CSPS）中心的大学。 其目标是：（1）培养一批具有知识深度和气息的青年科学家， （2）促进干预研究人员之间的沟通，使他们的工作进展能够更有效地对自杀这一重要的公共卫生挑战产生影响。CSPS T32每年将为心理学，精神病学和其他相关学科的博士后研究员提供七笔津贴。研究员通常接受为期三年的培训，其中包括一系列协调的课程和研讨会，旨在为他/她提供临床干预研究理论和方法的坚实基础。知识和技能发展的核心领域包括：（a）自杀学，（B）高危患者群体研究的研究设计和方法，（c）生物统计学，（d）赠款写作和出版写作，以及（e）研究伦理。在整个培训期间，每个研究员与从UR教师中选出的主要导师以及一名或多名共同导师合作，开发和实施个性化的应用自杀预防研究计划。此外，研究员在与各种各样的场外专家顾问建立联系方面也得到了支持，这些顾问也是CSPS研究的合作者。电话、电子邮件和视频会议通信可以通过研究员对顾问机构的访问来补充，以进行短期或长期的指导研究接触。CSPS合作者的广泛网络支持优秀的早期职业调查人员的招聘。严格的评估计划将密切跟踪每位学员的表现，并评估该计划在为毕业生从事一般干预研究和特别是自杀预防研究的职业做好准备方面的长期成功情况。 相关性：在预防性研究方面训练有素的临床研究人员严重短缺。 干预措施。自杀是一个重大的公共卫生问题，在这个领域，缺乏训练有素的预防科学家的问题尤为严重。CSPS T32是该国唯一的机构博士后研究培训计划，其重点是自杀研究。嵌入在CSPS，它提供了丰富多样的培训资源，无论是在罗切斯特大学，并通过其广泛的合作者网络在全国范围内，并代表了“管道”的早期职业调查自杀研究的重要组成部分。
