Training Program in Childhood Neuropsychiatric Disorders

 产品说明：这是耶鲁大学T32奖学金“儿童神经精神疾病培训计划”（T32 MH 18268 -30）的5年续期申请。我们的计划侧重于准备科学家，包括那些在临床科学以及那些在基础科学，为独立的职业生涯作为领域领先的调查人员，进行儿童神经精神疾病的研究。我们迫切需要这样的培训项目，因为：1）大量儿童受到严重精神疾病的影响或有患上严重精神疾病的风险; 2）与他们的护理相关的社会成本相当高; 3）疗效和有效性有限 现有的治疗和预防方案不足; 4）该领域积极的研究人员数量很少; 5）尚未充分实现的相关科学和技术进步的出现。在过去的30年里，我们已经招募了95名T32博士后研究员。这些受训人员大多数是妇女（54%），近四分之一（24%）是代表性不足的少数民族。98%的学员完成了至少两年的T32奖学金。绝大多数（85%）继续积极参与有关儿童神经精神疾病的研究。大多数受训人员发表了多篇同行评审论文，许多受训人员获得了许多独立的研究赠款和职业发展奖。他们的工作赢得了国际赞誉，我们的许多毕业生都是各自领域的领军人物。独特的是，这个T32计划完全与一个非常成功的六年期儿童，青少年和成人综合研究和儿童精神病学临床住院医师培训计划相结合。此外，我们强烈鼓励医学博士毕业生参加这个住院医师项目，并在世界著名的耶鲁大学艺术与科学研究生院的研究医学项目或其他高级学位课程中攻读高级研究学位。在这次更新中，我们引入了团队科学的明确培训。我们相信，这次培训将增加我们的学员的成功，重新定位学术机构的文化，以更好地支持，更大的回报，并在临床和转化研究的指导质量提高。我们将继续把重点放在职业发展上，提供个人辅导沿着团队科学的经验培训，并辅以教学活动。在研究金课程的初期，为每个受训者制定了个性化的培训计划，并在整个过程中得到密切监测。写作技巧的提高，平衡个人生活和职业生涯的指导，并接触到跨学科的共同导师表征我们的T32奖学金计划。

 DESCRIPTION: This is an application for a 5-year renewal of the Yale University's T32 Fellowship "Training Program in Childhood Neuropsychiatric Disorders" (T32 MH18268-30). Our program focuses on preparing scientists, including those in clinical sciences as well as those in basic sciences, for independent careers as field- leading investigators, conducting research on childhood neuropsychiatric disorders. Training programs like ours are urgently needed given: 1) the large number of children affected by or at risk to develop major mental illnesses; 2) the considerable costs to society associated with their care; 3) the limited efficacy and effectiveness of available treatment and prevention programs; 4) the small number of active investigators in the field; and 5) the emergence of relevant scientific and technological advances that have yet to be fully realized. Over the past 30 years, we have recruited 95 T32 Postdoctoral Fellows. A majority of these trainees have been women (54%) and close to a quarter (24%) have been underrepresented minorities. 98% of the trainees completed at least two years of the T32 Fellowship. The vast majority (85%) continues to be actively involved in research concerning Childhood Neuropsychiatric Disorders. Most trainees have published multiple peer-reviewed papers and many trainees have obtained numerous independent research grants and career development awards. Their work has garnered international acclaim and many of our graduates are leading figures in their respective fields. Uniquely, this T32 program is fully united with a highly successful six-year integrated child, adolescent and adult research and clinical residency training program in child psychiatry. Further, MD graduates are strongly encouraged to enroll in this residency program and pursue an advanced research degree in the Investigative Medicine Program or in another advanced degree program in the world-renowned Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. In this renewal, we introduce explicit training in team science. We believe this training will augment the success of our trainees, reorienting the culture of the academic institution to better support, greater reward, and an enhanced quality of mentorship in clinical and translational research. We will continue to place a major emphasis on career development by providing individual mentoring along with experiential training in team science, complemented by didactic activities. A personalized training plan is developed for each trainee early during the course of the Fellowship and is monitored closely throughout. Enhancement of writing skills, guidance on balancing personal life and professional career, and exposure to cross-disciplinary co-mentors characterize our T32 Fellowship program.
