Research Training: Socio-Economics of Mental Health Service Delivery in SE Europe

描述（申请人提供）：加州大学伯克利分校和罗马尼亚克卢日的Babes-Bolyai大学提议为优秀的博士前和博士后经济学家、精神病学家、社会学家、临床医生、东南欧（SEE）的心理健康专家在最新的研究方法和有关影响或推动提供精神卫生保健服务的经济和社会因素的问题。我们建议在成功的“捷克共和国/中欧金融和心理健康服务培训”（5-D43-TW 005810 -10）的基础上再接再厉。Richard Scheffler教授，加州大学伯克利分校，在过去的十年里一直是这个项目的PI和联合主任。另一位共同主任是布拉格查尔斯大学的Martin Potucek教授。在此期间，该计划已培训了来自保加利亚，克罗地亚，捷克共和国，罗马尼亚和斯洛伐克的60多人。该方案在过去5年中取得了巨大成功，学员出版了72种出版物和3本书。我们新申请的PI将是Scheffler教授。因为捷克共和国现在是一个高收入经济体，我们将用一个新的合作伙伴取代查尔斯大学。我们建议新的合作伙伴是罗马尼亚克卢伊-纳波卡的Babes-Bolyai大学新的公共卫生学院（http：//www.publichealth.ro/）。SPH- BBU将作为该计划在欧洲的中心，吸引和筛选候选人，并促进他们随后的职业发展。伯克利将继续作为主要的培训地点，提供高级教师指导学员，因为他们上课，参加研讨会，并在他们的祖国从事研究项目。新的联合主任将是Razvan Chereches，医学博士，哲学博士，波耶大学。Chereches博士本人在我们以前的项目中是一名实习生和项目负责人。他还参加了其他NIH项目：爱荷华州大学职业和环境卫生项目国际培训和研究，福格蒂国际中心- D43 TW 000621;少数民族健康和健康差异国际研究和培训，福格蒂国际中心- T37 MD 001453 -05;和爱荷华州大学国际合作创伤和伤害预防研究和培训计划，福格蒂国际中心- D43 TW 007261。正如先前的方案从捷克共和国扩展到该地区的其他四个国家一样，我们打算从罗马尼亚和保加利亚开始，并扩展到东南欧的其他中低收入国家。目前感兴趣的国家包括阿尔巴尼亚、摩尔多瓦和塞尔维亚，但前南斯拉夫的其他国家也将被考虑。向任何国家推广始终取决于确定一个适当的机构和人员，他们可以帮助支持合格和感兴趣的受训人员。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of California, Berkeley and Babes-Bolyai University, Cluj, Romania, propose to provide advanced, multidisciplinary research training to outstanding pre- and post-doctoral economists, psychiatrists, sociologists, clinicians, and mental health professionals from South Eastern Europe (SEE) in the latest research methods and issues regarding the economic and social factors that influence or drive the delivery of mental health care services. We propose to build upon the successful "Finance and Mental Health Services Training in Czech Republic/Central Europe (5-D43-TW005810-10). Prof. Richard Scheffler, University of California, Berkeley, has been the PI and co-Director of this program for the past ten years. The other co-Director has been Prof. Martin Potucek, Charles University, Prague. During its span, the program has trained over sixty people from Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Romania, and Slovakia. The past 5 years of the program has been highly successful by all measures, with over 72 publications and 3 books by its trainees. The PI of our new application will be Prof. Scheffler. Because the Czech Republic is now a high-income economy, we will replace Charles University with a new partner. We propose that the new partner be the new School of Public Health at Babes-Bolyai University (http://www.publichealth.ro/), Cluj-Napoca, Romania. SPH- BBU will serve as the hub of the program in Europe, attracting and screening candidates, and fostering their subsequent career development. Berkeley will continue to be the primary training site, providing senior faculty to mentor the trainees as they take classes, participate in seminars, and engage in research projects in their home countries. The new co-Director will be Razvan Chereches, MD, Ph.D., Babes-Bolyai University. Dr. Chereches has himself been a trainee and a project leader in our previous program. He has also participated in other NIH programs: University of Iowa International Training and Research in Occupational and Environmental Health Program, Fogarty International Center - D43 TW000621; Minority Health and Health Disparities International Research and Training, Fogarty International Center- T37 MD001453-05; and University of Iowa International Collaborative Trauma and Injury Prevention Research and Training Program, Fogarty International Center - D43 TW007261. Just as the previous program expanded from the Czech Republic into four other countries in the region, we intend to start from Romania and Bulgaria, and expand into other LMICs in SEE. The countries of interest currently include Albania, Moldova, and Serbia, but other countries of the former Yugoslavia will also be considered. Expansion into any country always depends on identifying an appropriate institution and persons who can help support qualified and interested trainees.
