Brown School Training Program in Mental Health Services Research

 产品说明：拟议的培训计划将扩大和重新定位我们在精神卫生服务研究方面非常成功的博士前和博士后培训计划，重点是弱势群体，以及在精神卫生和人类（社会）服务系统之间的交叉点接受服务的人。我们目前的培训计划，其在社会工作的学校中唯一的一个，解决了社会工作专业内的迫切需要，为受过培训的学者调查社会工作者的客户每天面临的心理健康挑战。在这次更新中，我们扩大了培训范围，包括实施研究，深化和加强了我们的方法培训，开发了一个新的计划行政结构，大大扩大了核心和附属教师，加强了我们的博士后计划，并实施了新的评估策略。然而，我们保留了我们认为是我们计划的核心优势-有才华的学生的识别，早期沉浸在教师领导的研究中，在granecraft中进行密集的准备，对智力个性化的强烈期望和走向独立的轨迹的构建，以及密切和密集的指导过程。该计划受益于布朗学院特别是圣路易斯华盛顿大学在过去5年中的非凡增长。我们现在有一个学校内的公共卫生计划，我们作为一所大学的国家突出导致教师在所有7个大学的学校在我们的T32学者的培训更大的参与。我们的学生正在受益于这种参与，开花，奖学金在我们的机构。因此，这个应用程序是我们提交给T32计划的所有应用程序中最跨学科的。我们寻求支持2个博士前学生（与往年相同），但已要求一个额外的博士后插槽（每年共2个博士后），以利用增加的效率，从有一批学员，和更多的培训机会，现在在我们的学校和大学内表现。我们相信，这一建议反映了我们在20年的运行T32计划所获得的经验，并反映了我们所进行的持续学习和质量改进，因为我们培养学生在未来几年越来越充满活力和多样化的调查领域。

 DESCRIPTION: The proposed training program will expand and reposition our highly successful pre- and postdoctoral training program in mental health services research with an emphasis on vulnerable populations, and on those receiving services at the intersection between mental health and human (social) services systems. Our current training program, the only one of its kind in a school of social work, addresses the critical need within the social work profession for scholars trained to investigate mental health challenges confronted by clients of social workers on a daily basis. In this renewal, we have expanded the scope of training to include implementation research, have deepened and strengthened our methodological training, have developed a new program administrative structure, have greatly expanded core and affiliated faculty, have enhanced our postdoctoral program, and have implemented new evaluation strategies. Yet, we have retained what we believe are the core strengths of our program - identification of talented students, early immersion into faculty-led research, intensive preparation in grantsmanship, strong expectations of intellectual individuation and the construction of trajectories toward independence, and a close and intensive mentoring process. This program benefits from the extraordinary growth that has occurred at the Brown School in particular, and Washington University in St. Louis in general, over the past 5 years. We now have a public health program within the School, and our national prominence as a University has resulted in even greater engagement of faculty across all 7 of the University's Schools in the training of our T32 scholars. Our students are benefiting from this engagement in, efflorescence of, scholarship at our institution. Consequently, this application is the most transdisciplinary of all applications that we have submitted to the T32 program. We seek support for 2 pre-doctoral students (same as in prior years), but have requested one additional postdoctoral slot (to a total of 2 postdocs per year) in order to exploit added efficiencies that result from having a cohort of trainees, and greater training opportunities that are now manifest within our School and University. We believe that this proposal reflects the experience that we have gained in 20 years of running a T32 program, and reflects the continual learning and quality improvement that we have undertaken, as we train students for an increasingly dynamic and diverse field of inquiry in the years ahead.
