DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Department of Psychiatry at Yale University School of Medicine requests a second renewal of this 5 year post-doctoral research training grant for intervention and services research in treatment, rehabilitation and prevention of severe mental disorders. This training grant is responsive to the behavioral translational research priorities of NIMH and trains fellows for two to three years who focus on research that aims at relieving the burden of mental illness, the top priority of NIMH. The renewal would continue to support 4 post-doctoral fellows with clinical training (physicians or psychologists) seeking research training for careers in academic medicine. The specific aims of the training program are: 1) To provide physician and clinically trained psychologists with training in translational research methods, biostatistics, the responsible conduct of scientific research, and intervention development to become independent researchers and clinician scientists. 2) To provide these post-doctoral trainees with experience in all aspects of conducting such research, from initial project conceptualization and design, through implementation and data analysis to manuscript preparation and oral presentation of results. 3) To provide a mentored and closely supervised opportunity for trainees to develop, implement and complete all phases of an independent clinical research project. 4) To support trainees in submission of independent research initiatives including career awards, NARSAD and other young investigator awards, and NIMH R21's, R34's & R01's. The Executive Committee is comprised of 7 senior researchers who are full professors and have access to extensive research and training resources at both the VA Connecticut Healthcare System and Yale School of Medicine, 9 program faculty who are Associate Professors or higher, and a number of ad hoc mentors who are available for individual training plans. Major research programs include the VA's Northeast Program Evaluation Center, the VA's MIRECC in dual diagnosis, the VA/Yale Learning Based Recovery Center, the Early Intervention and Prevention of Psychosis Program at Yale, and the Yale Program for Recovery and Community Health. The Chair of the Department of Psychiatry and the VA Chief of Psychiatry serve as faculty, and there is cross-over with other relevant institutions at Yale including the School of Epidemiology and Public Health. Past recruitment has yielded a large number of highly competitive candidates including underrepresented minorities, and all who have been offered positions have accepted with 18% of fellows being underrepresented minorities. Of the six graduates during the current funding period, four received career development awards, one went on to another fellowship, and one became Assistant Professor with independent funding at another major medical center. Of the 13 fellows who have completed, all remain in academic medicine. This track record reflects the support and resources fellows receive in moving toward independent research careers. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This proposal requests a second renewal of this 5 year post-doctoral research training grant for intervention and services research in treatment, rehabilitation and prevention of severe mental disorders. This training grant focuses on research that aims at relieving the burden of mental illness, the top priority of NIMH. The renewal would continue to support 4 post-doctoral fellows with clinical training (physicians or psychologists) seeking research training for careers in academic medicine.

简介（由申请人提供）：耶鲁大学医学院精神病学系申请第二次续期这项为期5年的博士后研究培训补助金，用于严重精神障碍的治疗、康复和预防方面的干预和服务研究。这项培训经费是对NIMH行为转化研究重点的回应，并培训两到三年专注于减轻精神疾病负担研究的研究员，这是NIMH的首要任务。续期计划将继续支持4名接受过临床培训的博士后（医生或心理学家）寻求从事学术医学方面的研究培训。培训计划的具体目标是：1)为医生和临床训练的心理学家提供转化研究方法、生物统计学、负责任的科学研究行为和干预开发方面的培训，使其成为独立的研究人员和临床科学家。2)为这些博士后学员提供开展此类研究的各个方面的经验，从最初的项目构想和设计，到实施和数据分析，再到论文准备和结果的口头陈述。3)为受训者提供指导和密切监督的机会，以发展，实施和完成独立临床研究项目的各个阶段。4)支持学员提交独立研究计划，包括职业奖、NARSAD和其他青年研究者奖，以及NIMH R21、R34和R01奖。执行委员会由7名资深研究人员组成，他们是正教授，可以访问VA康涅狄格医疗保健系统和耶鲁医学院的广泛研究和培训资源，9名副教授或更高级别的项目教师，以及一些可用于个人培训计划的临时导师。主要研究项目包括退伍军人事务部东北项目评估中心、退伍军人事务部双重诊断MIRECC、退伍军人事务部/耶鲁大学基于学习的康复中心、耶鲁大学精神病早期干预和预防项目以及耶鲁大学康复和社区健康项目。精神病学系主任和退伍军人事务部精神病学主任担任教职，与耶鲁其他相关机构也有交叉，包括流行病学和公共卫生学院。过去的招聘产生了大量极具竞争力的候选人，包括代表性不足的少数民族，所有获得职位的人都接受了，18%的研究员是代表性不足的少数民族。在当前资助期内的六名毕业生中，有四人获得了职业发展奖，一人获得了另一项奖学金，一人成为另一家大型医疗中心独立资助的助理教授。在完成学业的13名研究员中，所有人都留在了学术医学领域。这一记录反映了研究员在走向独立研究事业时获得的支持和资源。
