GWB Mental Health Service Research Training

描述（由申请人提供）：华盛顿大学的乔治沃伦布朗社会工作学院寻求五年的支持，继续其十四岁的心理健康服务研究和NIMH的唯一博士后培训计划在社会工作的博士前培训计划。我们的培训将为下一代精神卫生服务研究人员做好准备，他们致力于提高精神卫生保健的质量，并在为弱势群体服务的非专业环境中实施循证治疗。跨学科培训将围绕一个由五个部分组成的注重成果的模式进行，旨在产生具体的知识和技能。组成部分包括教学课程工作，研讨会，指导，研究实验室工作和科学网络。博士后培训强调制定3-5年的研究议程。受训人员将具备：追求精神卫生服务的研究问题，将填补知识的关键差距，并在公共卫生意义高;使用最先进的方法，是适当的研究问题，关注的人群，和相关的护理设置;跨学科的研究团队合作;和翻译研究，为服务提供和政策提供信息。一个多方面的战略提供了负责任的研究行为的培训。我们的NIMH资助的研究提供了一个丰富的培训实验室，让每一个学员“动手”的经验与外部资助的心理健康服务研究。培训环境进一步受益于10个研究中心，177个外部资助的研究项目，一个新成立的公共卫生研究所，以及华盛顿大学的临床和转化科学研究所（NCRR CTSA赠款）。我们将继续保持我们的保留和生产独立资助的心理健康研究人员的良好记录，我们的博士前学员的80%获得论文研究赠款。将从三个关键成果方面对培训进行系统评估：安排在竞争性学术和研究职位上;在高质量、经评审的期刊上发表学术文章;开展独立资助的研究，增进对精神障碍者服务的了解。我们要求每年资助8名博士前和3名博士后学员，以保持有助于研究培训的强大队列。 公共卫生相关性：我们的学员对精神卫生保健质量的研究和对社会服务部门弱势群体实施循证治疗将直接有助于NIMH战略计划中的目标四，“加强NIMH支持研究的公共卫生影响”。我们的培训成果包括NIMH的研究培训报告《投资未来》中所要求的“三个T”--跨学科、团队合作者和翻译。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Washington University's George Warren Brown School of Social Work seeks five years of support to continue its fourteen year old predoctoral training program in mental health services research and NIMH's sole postdoctoral training program in social work. Our training will prepare the next generation of mental health services researchers working to improve the quality of mental health care and the implementation of evidence-based treatments in non-specialty settings serving vulnerable populations. Transdisciplinary training will be organized around a five-component, outcome-focused model designed to yield specific knowledge and skills. Components include didactic course work, seminars, mentoring, research lab work, and scientific networking. Post-doctoral training emphasizes development of a 3-5 year research agenda. Trainees will be equipped to: pursue mental health services research questions that will fill critical gaps in knowledge and are high in public health significance; use state-of-art methodologies that are appropriate to the research question, the populations of concern, and the relevant settings of care; work collaboratively on transdisciplinary research teams; and translate research to inform service delivery and policy. A multi- faceted strategy provides training in the responsible conduct of research. Our NIMH-funded research provides a rich training laboratory, giving every trainee "hands-on" experience with externally funded mental health services research. The training environment further benefits from 10 research centers, 177 externally funded research projects, a newly launched Institute of Public Health, and Washington University's Institute of Clinical and Translational Sciences (an NCRR CTSA grant). We will continue our strong record of retaining and producing independently funded mental health researchers, with 80% of our predoctoral trainees securing dissertation research grants. Training will be systematically evaluated in terms of three key outcomes: placements in competitive academic and research positions; publish scholarly articles in high quality, refereed journals; and conduct independently funded research that advances knowledge of services for persons with mental disorder. We request funds to support eight predoctoral and three postdoctoral trainees per year to maintain the strong cohort that contributes to research training. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Our trainees' research on the quality of mental health care and the implementation of evidence based treatment for vulnerable populations in the social service sector will directly contribute to Objective Four in NIMH's Strategic Plan, "strengthen the public health impact of NIMH supported research". Our training outcomes include the "three T's-transdisciplinary, team players, and translators-called for in NIMH's research training report, Investing in the Future.
