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.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请要求为老年心理健康服务研究的多地点博士后两年培训计划（T32 MH073553）提供更新资金，该计划由包括达特茅斯学院（Bartels，Pl）、康奈尔大学（Bruce）、华盛顿大学（Unutz​​er）和密歇根大学（Blow）在内的培训合作机构组成。该计划的目标是通过创新、跨学科、多地点、协作的方法，培训博士后研究员从事老年心理健康服务研究的学术职业。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，其中包括： 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联系起来的跨站点研讨会和共同指导；每个地点的正式课程，包括公共卫生硕士学位或卫生服务研究理学硕士学位的机会。我们将在未来 5 年内进一步发展我们的项目，通过增加第四个站点（密歇根大学）以及额外的研究员和方法/内容专业知识，扩展最初资助项目的广度、深度和范围；包括来自其他研究中心的额外 NIMH 资助的学员；并通过专门针对 NIMH 战略优先领域（包括转化和实施研究）的会议来加强跨地点研讨会。四个站点的结构提供了老年心理健康服务研究方面的关键专业知识和广泛的指导研究机会，这是任何一个站点都无法提供的。我们将在5年资助期内培养16名博士后。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 年资助的成功记录之上。成就包括： 三个初始站点的研究员职位均达到 100%（包括来自 NIMH 多样性类别的代表性不足的少数族裔 [33%]、教育弱势背景 [8%] 和残疾人 [25%] 的参与者）； 2 年研究金保留率 100%；成功实施我们基于网络的、每两周一次的跨站点指导研讨会；我们的研究员对项目整体质量的评价为“优秀到杰出”，以及我们的研究员成功获得奖学金的证据。在我们项目的前 31/2 年；这 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 篇经过同行评审的期刊文章（其中 18 篇为第一作者）。超过 80% 的毕业生成功获得学术职位，58% 的毕业生获得有竞争力的研究经费。
