DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Eating disorders are serious mental health problems, affecting primarily adolescent girls and young adult women. The public health significance of eating disorders derives from the fact that they are common among adolescent girls, often take a chronic course, are associated with psychiatric comorbidity and lasting adverse health outcomes such as infertility and osteoporosis, and contribute to elevated health services utilization. Because eating disorder research has a relatively short history, challenges remain in the field concerning the recruitment and education of young scholars into research careers in eating disorders. Training of new investigators has been identified as a priority concern in several NIMH funded workshops in the field. The multifactorial etiology and complex clinical picture of eating disorders require the collaboration of experts from a range of disciplines to advance the scientific knowledge base needed for identifying effective treatments and prevention strategies. Moreover, scholars representing racial or ethnic minority groups are under represented in the field. The application seeks to address these challenges with a program intended to stimulate and support interest in research careers in the field. Specifically, support is being requested to a) conduct a Research Teaching Day to be held the day preceding the Academy for Eating Disorders (AED) annual conference, offering an in-depth research seminar and individual mentoring sessions; b) award travel fellowships to ten qualified individuals (outstanding undergraduate and graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and psychiatric residents) to attend the Research Teaching Day and AED conference; and c) invite one speaker per year from an allied field who will enhance the Research Teaching Day by illustrating the principles and practices of translational research. For each component, steps will be taken to integrate training in cultural competence into the curriculum, ensure representation of minority faculty, and recruit racial or ethnic minority fellows. Support is requested for five years, and the success of the program will be evaluated annually.

描述（由申请人提供）：饮食失调是严重的心理健康问题，主要影响青春期女孩和年轻成年女性。饮食失调对公共卫生的重要性源于以下事实：它们在青春期女孩中很常见，通常呈慢性病程，与精神共存疾病和不孕症和骨质疏松症等持久不良健康结果有关，并有助于提高卫生服务利用率。 由于饮食失调研究的历史相对较短，因此该领域在招募和教育年轻学者进入饮食失调研究生涯方面仍然存在挑战。在 NIMH 资助的多个现场研讨会中，新研究者的培训已被确定为优先关注的问题。饮食失调的多因素病因学和复杂的临床情况需要来自多个学科的专家的合作，以推进确定有效治疗和预防策略所需的科学知识基础。此外，代表种族或族裔群体的学者在该领域的代表性不足。该应用程序旨在通过旨在激发和支持该领域研究职业兴趣的计划来应对这些挑战。具体来说，请求支持 a) 在饮食失调学院 (AED) 年会前一天举办研究教学日，提供深入的研究研讨会和个人指导课程； b) 向 10 名符合条件的个人（优秀本科生和研究生、博士后研究员和精神病住院医师）颁发旅行奖学金，以参加研究教学日和 AED 会议； c) 每年邀请一位来自相关领域的演讲者，通过阐释转化研究的原理和实践来增强研究教学日的效果。 对于每个组成部分，将采取措施将文化能力培训纳入课程，确保少数族裔教师的代表性，并招募少数种族或族裔研究员。请求支持为期五年，并且每年都会对该计划的成功进行评估。
