Clinical Research Training in Child Psychiatry

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请是5 T32 MH 18951 -18的竞争性更新，这是一个儿童心理健康干预和服务研究的博士后临床研究培训项目。需要支持4名博士后儿童精神病学家，4名博士后儿童心理学家或其他博士准备的专业人员，以及4名暑期研究选修的医学生。在夏季研究计划中，医学生与培训学院的研究导师合作，研究一个项目，以激发对儿童精神病学研究的兴趣。博士后培训计划旨在培养能够制定原创和重要研究的科学家：（1）研究发病机制，持久性和治疗反应;（2）研究消费者，提供者和干预可接受性，有效性和吸收的背景决定因素;（3）翻译基础研究结果（例如，(1)和（2）上述）纳入临床干预措施;（4）确定治疗反应的个体差异，从而可以导致个性化和优化治疗;（4）在社区环境中实施有效的干预措施;（5）研究传播有效治疗的战略。一个具有悠久而成功的研究和研究培训历史的多学科教师小组为学员提供指导，并在所有上述领域拥有专业知识。该计划的最重要的方面是学员与学术上成功的导师致力于研究培训配对。导师让受训者参与现有项目，为二次分析提供数据，监督受训者编写出版物和科学报告，并帮助受训者制定一套研究问题和起草一份研究提案，这将导致该领域的重大进展和外部资金（通常是职业奖）。将为每个受训者制定一个量身定制的教学研究课程，以确保获得研究设计，统计和与研究相关的内容领域的核心知识。受训人员还参加正在进行的关于“研究生存技能”的研讨会，讨论科学问题的提出、赠款的撰写、科学行为的道德方面以及项目管理。在目前的项目期间，我们已经毕业了10名学员，其中9人都有，或已提供教师任命，8有外部资金，6有职业奖。在11名进入暑期项目的医学生中，有9名承诺要做一个儿童精神病学的学术项目，4名毕业生中，有2名进入了儿童精神病学。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is a competitive renewal of 5T32 MH18951-18, a postdoctoral clinical research training program in child mental health intervention and services research. Support is requested for 4 postresidency child psychiatrists, 4 post-doctoral child psychologists or other doctorally-prepared professionals, and four medical students for summer research electives. In the summer research program, medical students work with a research mentor from the training faculty on a project leading to a publishable product in order to stimulate interest in child psychiatry research. The postdoctoral training program aims to develop scientists who can formulate original and significant research that: (1) studies mechanisms of pathogenesis, persistence, and treatment response; (2) studies consumer, provider, and contextual determinants of intervention acceptability, effectiveness, and uptake; (3) translates basic research findings (e.g., (1) and (2) above) into clinical interventions; (4) identifies individual differences in treatment response that can lead to personalization and optimization of treatment; (4) implements effective interventions in community settings; and (5) studies strategies for the dissemination of effective treatments. A multi-disciplinary faculty group with a long and successful history of research and research training provides mentorship to trainees, with expertise in all of the above-noted areas. The foremost aspect of the program is the pairing of the trainee with an academically successful mentor committed to research training. The mentor involves the trainee in existing projects, provides access to data for secondary analyses, supervises the trainee in the development of publications and scientific presentations, and helps the trainee to develop a set of research questions and draft a research proposal that will lead to significant advances in the field and external funding (usually a career award). An individually tailored course of didactic study will be developed for each trainee to insure the acquisition of core knowledge in research design, statistics, and content areas relevant to research. Trainees also participate in ongoing seminars on "research survival skills," dealing with formulation of scientific questions, grant writing, ethical aspects of scientific conduct, and project management. During the current project period, we have graduated 10 trainees, of whom 9 all have, or have been offered faculty appointments, 8 have external funding, and 6 have career awards. Of 11 medical students who have entered the summer program, 9 have made a commitment to do a scholarly project in child psychiatry, and of 4 who have graduated, two have entered child psychiatry.
