The academic-community experience (ACE): A postdoctoral training fellowship in implementation science to promote mental health

项目摘要 这个新的T32应用程序代表了一个独一无二的跨学科培训计划， 在宾夕法尼亚大学（Penn）的实施科学和心理健康。宾夕法尼亚大学提供独特的 环境中培养早期阶段的研究人员，鉴于其长期致力于博士后 训练在过去的三十年里，宾夕法尼亚大学心理健康政策和服务研究中心的教师们 （CMHPSR）与社区机构密切合作，包括费城的 健康和行为健康，费城学区，刑事司法系统，以及联邦 合格的保健中心。通过这些合作伙伴关系，我们将创造独特的机会， 在他们希望进行实施研究的环境中为博士后学员提供培训。宾大拥有 成为实施科学的领导者，拥有众多资源，包括一个工作组， 试点项目和研究生课程的种子资金。培训计划包括6个 来自宾夕法尼亚大学医学院的经验丰富的调查人员和三个社区合作伙伴， 核心执行委员会。宾夕法尼亚大学的其他学校也提供额外的导师，包括沃顿商学院。 商学院鼓励跨学科探究和前沿知识;以及调查人员 从其他当地机构（德雷克塞尔，坦普尔）。此外，一组国家执行科学领导人 （资深学者）也将每隔一个月与学员互动。我们为T32提出以下目标： (1)使博士后研究员接触到实施科学的基础和前沿教学培训 和其他相关学科通过一个核心课程（实施科学在健康和医疗保健）， 每月研讨会（实施科学研讨会），并根据需要选修课;（2）提供指导 团队，包括深度和广度，始终包括执行委员会的核心成员，领导者， 一个社区机构，如果需要的话，还有一个额外的内容导师;以及（3）在社区网站上嵌入学员 与利益攸关方合作制定和实施一个小型实施项目;这个小型项目 将为早期研究者（F32、K、R 03、R21或同等人员）提供适当的外部资金。的 拟议的T32将汇集来自多个学科的学员和导师，这将创造一个肥沃的 培养下一代执行科学家的环境。我们的长期 与社区合作伙伴的合作被利用来增加研究问题的生态有效性 和结果。成功的学员将成为未来缩小研究与实践差距和扩大规模的领导者 在社区环境中使用循证实践。

PROJECT SUMMARY This new T32 application represents a one-of-kind interdisciplinary training program at the intersection of implementation science and mental health at the University of Pennsylvania (Penn). Penn offers a unique environment in which to train early-stage investigators, given its longstanding commitment to postdoctoral training. Over the past three decades, faculty in Penn's Center for Mental Health Policy and Services Research (CMHPSR) have collaborated closely with community agencies, including Philadelphia's Departments of Health and Behavioral Health, the School District of Philadelphia, the criminal justice system, and Federally Qualified Health Centers. Through these partnerships, we will create unique opportunities to embed postdoctoral trainees in the settings in which they hope to conduct implementation research. Penn has emerged as a leader in implementation science, with numerous resources including a working group with seed money for pilot projects and a graduate-level course. The proposed training program includes six experienced investigators from Penn in the School of Medicine and three community partners as part of the core executive committee. Additional mentors are available from other schools at Penn including the Wharton School of Business to encourage interdisciplinary inquiry and cutting-edge knowledge; as well as investigators from other local institutions (Drexel, Temple). Further, a group of national leaders in implementation science (senior scholars) also will interact with trainees every other month. We propose the following aims for our T32: (1) expose postdoctoral fellows to foundational and cutting edge didactic training in implementation science and other related disciplines through one core course (Implementation Science in Health and Healthcare), a monthly seminar (Seminar on Implementation Science), and electives as needed; (2) provide a mentorship team that includes depth and breadth, always including a core member of the executive committee, a leader at a community agency, and an additional content mentor if needed; and (3) embed trainees at a community site to develop and conduct a small implementation project in partnership with stakeholders; this small project will lead to external funding appropriate for early-stage investigators (F32, K, R03, R21, or equivalent). The proposed T32 will bring together trainees and mentors from multiple disciplines, which will create a fertile environment in which to train the next generation of implementation scientists. Our long-standing collaborations with community partners are harnessed to increase the ecological validity of research questions and results. Successful trainees will be future leaders in reducing the research-to-practice gap and scaling up the use of evidence-based practices in community settings.
