 DESCRIPTION: This is an application for renewal of the T32, "Translational Research Training in Child Psychiatry" that has been funded continuously since 1980. The mission of this program is to recruit and train the next generation of translational scientists who recognize that the development of effective prevention and/or therapeutic strategies for neurodevelopmental disorders requires studying the bidirectional pathways between the underlying biology and environment at both the individual and population level. The success of the training program is reflected in both the accomplishments of the trainees and in the diversity of the fellows. Over the past 10 years, we successfully graduated 31 out of 33 (94%) trainees, and 18 have received substantial independent funding including 6 career development awards (K08, K12, and K23), 1 R01, 2 R21s, 1 grant from the NIEHS, 5 NARSAD awards, 16 foundation grants, 4 pilot awards from the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (AACAP), 3 awards from the Sackler Institute of Developmental Psychobiology, 4 NIH loan repayment awards, 4 awards from the New York State Office of Mental Health, and 1 Paul Janssen Fellowship. We currently have 6 fellows, 2 of whom are under-represented minorities. Two fellows are graduating this month and 2 female MD fellows have accepted to begin in July. In the last submission of this T32, the committee concluded that the "preceptors and training environment were deemed outstanding by the review committee. The reviewers also commented that the program has a strong record of producing exceptional independently funded trainees." That submission described a training plan that strengthened the opportunities in translational research by enhancement of the didactic teaching program and strategic addition of mentors. To further improve the training program and recruitment of a diverse applicant pool we have taken substantive steps by restructuring the program leadership, involving a wider range of accomplished faculty, and revising the didactics.

 描述：这是一个申请续期的T32，“儿童精神病学的翻译研究培训”，自1980年以来一直得到资助。该计划的使命是招募和培训下一代转化型科学家，他们认识到，开发有效的神经发育障碍预防和/或治疗策略需要在个人和群体水平上研究潜在生物学和环境之间的双向路径。培训方案的成功既体现在学员的成就上，也体现在学员的多样性上。在过去的10年里，我们成功地从33名学员中毕业了31名(94%)，其中18人获得了可观的独立资助，包括6个职业发展奖(K08、K12和K23)、1个R01、2个R21、1个NIEHS赠款、5个NARSAD奖、16个基金会补助金、4个美国儿童和青少年精神病学学会(AACAP)的4个试点奖项、Sackler发展心理生物学研究所的3个奖项、NIH的4个还贷奖项、纽约州心理健康办公室的4个奖项和1个Paul Janssen奖学金。我们目前有6名研究员，其中2名是代表性不足的少数民族。两名研究员将于本月毕业，两名女性医学博士研究员已接受在7月份开始工作。在这份T32的最后一份意见书中，委员会得出的结论是“评审委员会认为导师和培训环境非常出色。评审人员还评论说，该项目在培养优秀的独立资助学员方面有着很好的记录。”该意见书描述了一项培训计划，该计划通过加强教学计划和战略性地增加导师来加强翻译研究的机会。为了进一步改进培训计划和招募多样化的申请者，我们已经采取了实质性的步骤，重组了计划的领导层，让更多的优秀教师参与进来，并修改了教学方法。
