DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application requests renewal funding for a multi-site postdoctoral two-year training program in geriatric mental health services research (T32 MH073553) consisting of a training collaboratory including Dartmouth College (Bartels, Pl), Cornell University (Bruce), University of Washington (Unutzer) and the University of Michigan (Blow). The goal of the program is to train postdoctoral fellows for academic careers in geriatric mental health services research through an innovative, transdisciplinary, multi-site, collaborative approach. We will achieve this goal by providing each participant a two-year program consisting of: mentored geriatric mental health services research training; cross-site seminars and co-mentoring linked by web-based communication and archived curricula; and formal coursework at each site, including the opportunity for a master's in public health or master's of science in health services research. We will further develop our program over the next 5 years by extending the breadth, depth, and reach of the initially funded program by adding a fourth site (University Of Michigan) with additional fellows and methodological/ content expertise; by including additional NIMH-funded trainees from other research centers; and by enhancing the cross-site seminar with sessions dedicated to NIMH's strategic priority areas, including translational and implementation research. The four-site structure provides the critical mass of expertise in geriatric mental health services research and breadth of mentored research opportunities that would not be available at any one site. We will train 16 postdoctoral fellows over the 5-year funding period. Applicants will have a doctoral degree in medicine, psychology, social work, sociology, epidemiology, public health, health economics, or a related social science. The proposed renewal builds on a proven track record of success over the first 3 Va years of funding. Accomplishments include: filling 100% of fellowship positions across each of the three initial sites (including participants from NIMH diversity categories of underrepresented minorities [33%], educationally disadvantaged backgrounds [8%], and disabled [25%]); 100% retention over the 2-year fellowship; successful implementation of our web-based, biweekly, cross-site mentoring seminar; evaluation of the overall quality of the program by our fellows as "excellent to outstanding", and evidence of successful scholarship by our fellows. In the first 31/2 years of our program; the 12 fellows have published over 50 publications (abstracts, book chapters, and articles), including 31 peer-reviewed journal articles (18 as first author). Over 80% percent of our graduates have successfully obtained academic positions and 58% have obtained competitive research funding. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE (See instructions): This research training program links four centers of excellence to develop the next generation of researchers who will have the skills to develop, test, and evaluate effective models of care and services for the rapidly growing number of older persons with mental health needs. We will provide supervised two-year research training experiences for 16 post-doctoral fellows from a variety of fields and backgrounds.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请要求为老年心理健康服务研究（T32 MH 073553）的多地点博士后两年培训计划提供更新资金，该计划由培训合作实验室组成，包括达特茅斯学院（Bartels，Pl），康奈尔大学（布鲁斯），华盛顿大学（Unutzer）和密歇根大学（Blow）。该计划的目标是通过创新，跨学科，多站点，协作的方法培养博士后研究员在老年心理健康服务研究的学术生涯。我们将通过为每位参与者提供为期两年的计划来实现这一目标，该计划包括：指导老年心理健康服务研究培训;通过基于网络的通信和存档课程链接的跨站点研讨会和共同指导;以及每个站点的正式课程，包括公共卫生硕士或卫生服务研究科学硕士的机会。我们将在未来5年内进一步发展我们的计划，通过增加第四个站点来扩展最初资助计划的广度，深度和范围（密歇根大学）与额外的研究员和方法/内容的专业知识;通过包括其他研究中心的额外NIMH资助的学员;并通过加强跨站点研讨会的会议致力于NIMH的战略优先领域，包括翻译和实施研究。四个站点的结构提供了在老年心理健康服务研究的专业知识的临界质量和指导的研究机会，将不会在任何一个站点的广度。我们将在5年的资助期内培养16名博士后研究员。申请人将拥有医学，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的博士学位。 拟议的续约建立在弗吉尼亚州前3年资助的成功记录的基础上。成绩包括：在三个初始站点中的每一个站点中填补100%的奖学金职位（包括来自NIMH多样性类别的代表性不足的少数民族[33%]，教育上处于不利地位的背景[8%]和残疾人[25%]的参与者）; 100%保留超过2年的奖学金;我们的基于网络的，双周，跨站点辅导研讨会的成功实施;我们的研究员对该计划的整体质量的评价为“优秀到杰出”，并证明我们的研究员成功获得奖学金。在我们计划的前31/2年中，12名研究员发表了50多篇出版物（摘要，书籍章节和文章），其中包括31篇同行评议的期刊文章（18篇为第一作者）。超过80%的毕业生成功获得学术职位，58%获得有竞争力的研究资金。 公共卫生相关性（见说明）：该研究培训计划将四个卓越中心联系起来，以培养下一代研究人员，他们将有能力为快速增长的有心理健康需求的老年人开发，测试和评估有效的护理和服务模式。我们将为来自不同领域和背景的16名博士后研究员提供为期两年的研究培训经验。
