DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this Mentored Research Career Award (K23) application is to provide training and innovative models for research on the biological, genetic and behavioral mechanisms underlying the intergenerational transmission of psychiatric risk from mother to infant. The training will provide (1) advanced education in clinical and biological research methodology, and (2) extensive, mentored research experience in assessment and interpretation of neurobiological and genetic data. The training components will include formal coursework in the University of Michigan Clinical Research Design and Statistical Analysis Program (CRDSA) under the Michigan CTSA, and extended laboratory experiences through the University of Michigan Genetics Laboratory and Trauma, Stress, and Anxiety Research Group's neurobiological and psycho-physiological laboratories. Models will be developed to study intergenerational transmission of risk, focusing on mothers with PTSD, infant's genetic risk factors, and their impact on infants' neurobiological stress regulation. Two-hundred mothers (100 PTSD-positive and 100 trauma-exposed PTSD-negative) and their 7-month old infants will be studied. Infants will be genotyped for the "risk" allele polymorphisms on the serotonin transporter promoter gene, which has been robustly identified in the current literature as related to unique variation in capacity for distress regulation. Mother-infant dyads will be studied in several low-and high challenge interactions (Free Play, Teaching Task, and Still Face Paradigm) with measurement of behavioral and neurobiological stress responses (cortisol, heart rate variability). We hypothesize that (1) maternal PTSD will predict less optimal infant neurobiological stress regulation, and this link will be mediated by maternal behavior; (2) presence of genetic "risk" in the infant will predict less optimal infant neurobiological stress regulation, and this relation will be moderated by maternal behavior. The combination of didactic training, mentored research experience and model development will provide the applicant with the knowledge, skills, and high quality preliminary data needed for the subsequent success as an independently funded clinical scientist, studying the complex, transactional, and longitudinal pathways of intergenerational risk transmission.

描述（由申请人提供）：该指导研究职业奖的目标（K23）的申请是为培训和创新模型提供有关生物，遗传和行为机制的研究，从而将精神病风险从母亲向婴儿传播的生物学，遗传和行为机制提供。该培训将提供（1）临床和生物学研究方法中的高级教育，以及（2）广泛的指导研究经验在评估和解释神经生物学和遗传数据方面。培训组件将包括密歇根大学CTSA下的密歇根大学临床研究设计和统计分析计划（CRDSA）的正式课程，以及通过密歇根大学遗传学实验室和创伤，压力，焦虑研究小组的神经生物学和心理生理学实验室的扩展实验室经验。将开发模型来研究风险的代际传播，重点是患有PTSD的母亲，婴儿的遗传危险因素及其对婴儿神经生物学压力调节的影响。将研究两百个母亲（100个PTSD阳性和100个受创伤的PTSD阴性）及其7个月大的婴儿。婴儿将针对5-羟色胺转运蛋白启动子基因的“风险”等位基因多态性进行基因分型，该基因在当前文献中已被牢固地鉴定为与遇险调节能力的独特变化有关。将在几种低和高的挑战相互作用（自由游戏，教学任务，仍然面对范式）中研究母二元组，并测量行为和神经生物学压力反应（皮质醇，心率变异性）。我们假设（1）母体PTSD将预测不太最佳的婴儿神经生物学压力调节，并且这种联系将由母体行为介导； （2）婴儿中遗传“风险”的存在将预测不太最佳的婴儿神经生物学胁迫调节，这种关系将由母体行为调节。教学培训，指导的研究经验和模型发展的结合将为申请人提供随后作为独立资助的临床科学家成功所需的知识，技能和高质量初步数据，研究了国际式风险传播的复杂，交易和纵向途径。
