Research Training in Mental Health Services and Systems

描述(由申请者提供)：这份竞争性的续展申请申请资助一个精神健康服务和系统研究机构博士后培训计划(TP)，该计划由美国东南部两所领先的公立和私立大学-北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校和杜克大学-共同赞助，这两所大学位于北卡罗来纳州的三角地区，彼此相距不到10英里。培训在北卡罗来纳大学的塞西尔·G·谢普斯卫生服务研究中心(谢普斯中心)和杜克大学医学中心(杜克大学医学中心)精神病学和行为科学系的精神卫生服务有效性研究计划和发展流行病学中心进行。TP的目标是扩大能够在三个领域进行与政策相关的精神健康服务和系统研究的独立调查员队伍：精神健康法律和国家政策、精神健康和刑事司法以及儿童和青少年精神健康服务。这份面向社会/行为科学家和临床医生的TP有两个组成部分：(1)核心活动和(2)个性化研究。核心部分包括每两周一次的研究研讨会和期刊俱乐部会议，为期一学期的研究计划书撰写研讨会，部门研讨会和合作机构的盛大回合，以及北卡罗来纳大学或杜克大学的其他研究研讨会/研讨会。个性化学习部分是为每个研究员的特殊兴趣和需求量身定做的。它是基于学徒式的模式，每个研究员都与一个或多个导师(S)联系在一起，后者与研究员一起发展研究技能和机会。TP仍然致力于跨学科培训，面向公共部门，并特别关注患有严重疾病的人 以及持续性的精神疾病。这种跨学科培训的成功程度可以用迄今参加过的48名研究员的成绩来衡量。大多数人现在担任学术或其他研究职位，发表了大量出版物，并资助了研究项目。TP自成立以来，不断增加创新的重点，以确保毕业生有能力追求服务和系统研究的最新发展。未来五年，我们将引进和加强学者在比较有效性和以患者为中心的护理、心理健康与医疗保健的融合、人群心理健康的法律方面的研究。鉴于这一培训计划的持续卓越，要求在未来五年内继续为NRSA-每年支持四名博士后研究员提供资金。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This competing continuation application requests funding for an institutional postdoctoral Training Program (TP) in Mental Health Services and Systems Research co-sponsored by the two leading public and private universities in the southeastern United States-the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Duke University-that are located within ten miles of each other in the Triangle area of North Carolina. Training occurs at the Cecil G. Sheps Center for Health Services Research (Sheps Center) at UNC and the Mental Health Services Effectiveness Research Program and Center for Developmental Epidemiology in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the Duke University Medical Center (Duke). The TP goals are to expand the pool of independent investigators capable of undertaking policy-relevant mental health services and systems research in three areas: mental health laws and state policies, mental health and criminal justice, and child and adolescent mental health services. This TP for social/behavioral scientists and clinicians has two components: (1) core activities and (2) individualized study. The core component involves alternating bi-weekly research seminars and journal club meetings, a semester-long research proposal writing seminar, departmental seminars and grand rounds at the collaborating institutions, and other research seminars/workshops at UNC or Duke. The individualized study component is tailored to the special interests and needs of each fellow. It is based on an apprentice-type model whereby each fellow is linked to one or more mentor(s) who works with the fellow to develop research skills and opportunities. The TP remains committed to interdisciplinary training, a public sector orientation, and a special focus on persons with severe and persistent mental illness. The success of this interdisciplinary training can be measured by the accomplishments of the 48 fellows who have participated to date. Most now hold academic or other research positions, have numerous publications, and funded research projects. Innovative emphases have been continually added to the TP since its inception to assure that graduates are capable of pursuing the latest developments in services and systems research. During the next five years, we will introduce and enhance fellows' research in comparative- effectiveness and patient-centered care, integration of mental health and health care, and legal aspects of population mental health. Given the sustained excellence of this training program, funds are requested to continue NRSA-support for four postdoctoral fellows each year during the next five-years.
