DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This post-doctoral training program, currently in its 19th year, trains scientists to conduct interdisciplinary research at the intersection of Psycholog and Medicine. In line with the NIMH strategic plan's emphasis on translational and clinical research, the program trains fellows to conduct translational research on the interactions between genetic, behavioral, and experiential factors that promote illness and mental health. Fellows learn to apply psychological theories and cutting-edge research methodologies to address issues in (1) stress, depression, and psychobiology and (2) health-risk behavior, as they relate to the prevention and amelioration of diseases including major depression, PTSD, and AIDS. In so doing, they are exposed to problems related to health disparities and approaches to developing and testing interventions. During the two years of training, fellows share a common didactic core including the Psychology and Medicine Seminar; Research Process Seminar; Mind and Biology; Responsible Conduct of Research; six statistics modules, and take additional courses as needed. They conduct independent research with the supervision of a primary mentor, submit papers for publication and presentation at national conferences, and complete a draft of a grant application. The program benefits from its placement in a leading health science campus, with strong training and research programs in the biological, social/behavioral and clinical sciences. Other strengths of the program include: a top-rank faculty who are committed to training and model collaborative transdisciplinary work; ample opportunities for cross-fertilization with fellows and faculty from other programs; and access to key databases and to seed funds for pilot research. The program has produced outstanding, productive young researchers who have gone on to productive careers in medical or academic centers. During our current five year cycle, we have increased research on depression, PTSD and other mental illnesses; enhanced training in psychobiological mechanisms that link stress, psychological/social processes and behavior with mental and physical disorders; increased intervention research and research on disparities and recruited our first psychiatrist. In the renewal we have reduced and reorganized faculty to create a more coherent program, appointed an Associate Director, added additional biostatisticians, established more formal ties to the Psychiatry residency research track, and made more active plans for recruiting underrepresented minorities. In our renewal cycle we plan for three new fellows a year, which will allow us to recruit both psychologists and psychiatrists.

描述（由申请人提供）：这个博士后培训计划，目前在其第19年，培养科学家在心理学和医学的交叉点进行跨学科研究。根据NIMH战略计划对转化和临床研究的重视，该计划培训研究员对促进疾病和心理健康的遗传，行为和经验因素之间的相互作用进行转化研究。研究员学习应用心理学理论和尖端的研究方法来解决（1）压力，抑郁症和心理生物学和（2）健康风险行为中的问题，因为它们与预防和改善疾病有关，包括重度抑郁症，创伤后应激障碍和艾滋病。在这样做的过程中，他们会遇到与健康差距以及制定和测试干预措施的方法有关的问题。 在两年的培训期间，研究员共享一个共同的教学核心，包括心理学和医学研讨会;研究过程研讨会;心灵和生物学;负责任的研究行为;六个统计模块，并根据需要参加其他课程。他们进行独立的研究与初级导师的监督，提交论文出版和在全国会议上介绍，并完成拨款申请的草案。 该计划受益于其在领先的健康科学校园的位置，在生物，社会/行为和临床科学强有力的培训和研究计划。该计划的其他优势包括：致力于培训和示范跨学科合作工作的顶级教师;与其他计划的研究员和教师交叉施肥的充足机会;以及访问关键数据库和种子基金进行试点研究。 该计划产生了杰出的，富有成效的年轻研究人员，他们在医疗或学术中心从事富有成效的职业。在我们目前的五年周期中，我们增加了对抑郁症，创伤后应激障碍和其他精神疾病的研究;加强了将压力，心理/社会过程和行为与精神和身体疾病联系起来的心理生物学机制的培训;增加了对差异的干预研究和研究，并招募了我们的第一位精神科医生。在更新中，我们减少和重组了教师，以创建一个更连贯的程序，任命了一名副主任，增加了额外的生物统计学家，建立了更正式的关系，精神病学住院医师研究轨道，并为招聘代表性不足的少数民族制定了更积极的计划。在我们的更新周期中，我们计划每年增加三名新研究员，这将使我们能够招募心理学家和精神病学家。
