DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposed multi-site postdoctoral training program (T32) in geriatric mental health services research is a collaborative project among senior geriatric mental health services researchers located at Dartmouth College, Cornell University and the University of Washington. This multi-site Services Research Training Cooperative (SRTC) is designed to train a total of 12 postdoctoral fellows over the five year funding period for academic careers in geriatric mental health services research. The program will recruit fellows (one per site per year for the first four years) with a completed doctoral degree in medicine, psychology, social work, sociology, epidemiology, public health, health economics, or a related-social science for a minimum of a two year fellowship. The two-year training program for each fellow will include the following components: (a) mentored geriatric mental health services research training including the design and completion of a research project; (b) cross-site seminars, research presentations, and training curriculum made possible by an NIMH SBIR-funded project providing videoconferencing and internet-based communication and curriculum capability; and (c) formal coursework at each site including the opportunity for a master's degree in public health or master's of science in evaluative health sciences and health services research. The proposed fellowship program will quickly and efficiently develop a new generation of early career investigators in the field of geriatric mental health services research, substantively adding to the capacity of a field that currently has few full-time researchers. This initiative responds to an urgent need for research aimed at informing the future systems of care that will be needed to address the mental health needs of a rapidly growing older population and the unique challenges related both to biological, psychological, and social changes associated with aging and to the societal approach to providing care for the aged.

描述(由申请人提供)：这项拟开设的老年精神健康服务研究多地点博士后培训计划(T32)是达特茅斯学院、康奈尔大学和华盛顿大学的老年精神健康服务高级研究人员合作的项目。这个多站点服务研究培训合作社(SRTC)的目的是在五年的资助期内为老年精神卫生服务研究的学术生涯培训总共12名博士后研究员。该计划将招募具有医学、心理学、社会工作、社会学、流行病学、公共卫生、卫生经济学或相关社会科学博士学位的研究员(前四年每个站点每年一个)，为期至少两年的奖学金。每个研究员的两年培训计划将包括以下部分：(A)有指导的老年精神健康服务研究培训，包括设计和完成一个研究项目；(B)由NIMH SBIR资助的一个项目提供视频会议和基于互联网的交流和课程能力，使跨站点研讨会、研究报告和培训课程成为可能；以及(C)每个地点的正式课程工作，包括获得公共卫生硕士学位或评估健康科学和卫生服务研究的理学硕士学位的机会。 拟议的奖学金计划将快速有效地在老年精神健康服务研究领域培养新一代早期职业研究人员，大大增加这个目前几乎没有全职研究人员的领域的能力。这一倡议回应了研究的迫切需要，旨在为未来的护理系统提供信息，以解决快速增长的老年人口的心理健康需求，以及与老龄化相关的生物、心理和社会变化以及为老年人提供护理的社会方法所涉及的独特挑战。
