DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Department of Psychiatry at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill requests a new 5 year post- doctoral research training grant in eating disorders to address the critical shortage identified by NIH for skilled researchers in the eating disorders field. Our program will attract five qualified postdoctoral applicants per year from fields including medicine, psychology, nutrition, and related disciplines to provide rigorous advanced training in aspects of eating disorders research ranging from bench to society. The program will develop productive investigators on the path towards independence who will contribute to the advance of knowledge in the etiology, prevention, and treatment of eating disorders. Our training program includes 14 senior research faculty, 5 junior research faculty, and 5 clinical advisors from psychiatry, psychology, nutrition, sociology, genetics, epidemiology, and pediatrics. The six core aims of this proposal are for trainees: 1) to achieve a high level of research competency in a specialist area within eating disorders while becoming well versed in the broader context of the eating disorders field; 2) to achieve competency in research design, methodology, and biostatistics; 3) to appreciate and respect ethical issues related to research with human participants in general and eating disorders participants in specific; 4) to maintain awareness of key clinical issues with eating disorders patients; 5) to complete a research project of a magnitude commensurate with their prior research training under the supervision of a member of the training faculty; and, 6) to prepare for a career as an independent investigator. The UNC Eating Disorders Program and Department of Psychiatry have built substantial bridges across departments and schools at UNC. In close collaboration with our Interdisciplinary Obesity Center (P20 RR020649: Popkin), we are extremely well- poised to attract and develop a strong research workforce of interdisciplinary eating disorders researchers enriched with female and minority trainees. A systematic series of internal and external program evaluations with clear semiannual benchmarks will facilitate ongoing development and optimization of the program, with the ultimate goal of introducing highly trained, methodologically rigorous, clinically competent researchers to the field of eating disorders. Our trainees will ultimately generate high quality proposals for submission for funding to the NIH in order to move the field of eating disorders to the next level of scientific sophistication.

描述（由申请人提供）：北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校精神病学系申请新的5年饮食失调博士后研究培训资助，以解决NIH确定的饮食失调领域熟练研究人员的严重短缺问题。本项目每年将招收医学、心理学、营养学及相关学科领域的5名博士后申请者，为饮食失调研究提供从实验室到社会的严格的高级培训。该计划将在独立的道路上培养富有成效的研究者，他们将为饮食失调的病因、预防和治疗方面的知识进步做出贡献。我们的培训团队包括来自精神病学、心理学、营养学、社会学、遗传学、流行病学和儿科的14名高级研究人员、5名初级研究人员和5名临床指导老师。该提案的六个核心目标是为学员：1)在饮食失调的专业领域实现高水平的研究能力，同时精通饮食失调领域的更广泛背景；2)在研究设计、方法和生物统计学方面取得能力；3)理解和尊重与一般人类参与者和特定饮食失调参与者相关的研究的伦理问题；4)保持对饮食失调患者关键临床问题的认识；（五）在培训教师的指导下完成一项与其先前研究训练相当的研究项目；6)为独立调查员的职业生涯做准备。北卡罗来纳大学饮食失调项目和精神病学部门在北卡罗来纳大学各院系之间建立了坚实的桥梁。通过与我们的跨学科肥胖中心（P20 RR020649: Popkin）的密切合作，我们已经准备好吸引和发展一支强大的跨学科饮食失调研究人员队伍，其中包括女性和少数民族的培训生。一系列系统的内部和外部项目评估，以及明确的半年基准，将促进项目的持续发展和优化，最终目标是将训练有素、方法严谨、临床胜任的研究人员引入饮食失调领域。我们的学员最终将产生高质量的提案，提交给美国国立卫生研究院，以将饮食失调领域的科学复杂性提升到一个新的水平。
