DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The 2008 National Advisory Mental Health Council Workgroup on Research Training Report stated "It is widely believed that MD/PhD investigators bring a unique perspective to their research programs because of the blend of clinical and research perspectives honed through graduate and medical education, residency and fellowship. In addition, MD/PhD investigators may be well-trained for translational research careers." (p10) The fields of neuroscience and genetics have developed such depth in t erms of knowledge base, research strategies and research techniques that PhD training (or its equivalent) may be a necessity for effective translational research and obtaining research funding. Unfortunately, the number of psychiatrist MD/PhD researchers is small. The NIH and NIMH substantially support Medical Scientist Training Programs and individual MD/PhD students, and have done so over many years. However, of those who train in MD/PhD programs only 5 -6% choose psychiatry training, and not all of those choose research careers after completing residency. In addition, the established method of combined MD/PhD training is inefficient, in that the period of intense research and PhD completion is followed by many years of clinical training. Thus there is a long separation from research, leading to a decline in research skills, distance from the knowledge base, and a need to retrain after residency. This results in few young investigators applying for R01 Awards. New models for training translational researchers are needed, and we propose a creative and innovative program for the production of superbly trained MD/PhD psychiatrist -researchers. The goal is to offer those individuals who, at the end of medical school, are ready to commit both to psychiatry and research, a training opportunity that will simultaneously promote both their clinical and research abilities. The program will integrate their clinical training with their PhD training, and their Ph research with post-residency research. The excellence of both clinical and research training at Mount Sinai, in addition to excellent financial incentives, make it very likely that excellent applicants will be attracted to the program.

描述（由申请人提供）：2008 年国家咨询心理健康委员会研究培训工作组报告指出，“人们普遍认为，医学博士/博士研究人员能够为他们的研究项目带来独特的视角，因为通过研究生和医学教育、住院医师实习和进修培训磨练出临床和研究观点的融合。此外，医学博士/博士研究人员可能接受过转化研究职业方面的良好培训。” (p10) 神经科学和遗传学领域在知识基础、研究策略和研究技术方面已经发展得如此深入，以至于博士培训（或同等学历）可能是有效转化研究和获得研究经费的必要条件。不幸的是，精神科医生医学博士/博士研究人员的数量很少。 NIH 和 NIMH 多年来一直大力支持医学科学家培训计划和个人医学博士/博士生。然而，在接受医学博士/博士项目培训的人中，只有 5 -6% 选择精神病学培训，而且并非所有的人在完成住院医师培训后都选择研究职业。此外，现有的医学博士/博士联合培养方法效率低下，因为在紧张的研究和完成博士学位之后，还要进行多年的临床培训。因此，与研究的分离很长，导致研究技能下降，与知识库的距离，以及住院医师实习后需要重新培训。这导致很少有年轻研究者申请 R01 奖。需要新的培训转化研究人员的模式，我们提出了一个创造性和创新性的计划，以培养训练有素的医学博士/博士精神病学家研究人员。目标是为那些在医学院毕业后准备投身精神病学和研究的人提供一个培训机会，同时提高他们的临床和研究能力。该计划将把他们的临床培训与博士培训、博士研究与住院医师培训后研究结合起来。西奈山卓越的临床和研究培训，以及出色的经济激励措施，使得优秀的申请者很可能会被该项目吸引。
