项目摘要 神经科学是发展最快的科学领域之一，并取得了显著的发展， 将对理解和治疗精神障碍产生深远的影响。创新和 分子遗传学、脑成像方法、分子生物学的进步， 这些前所未有的进步将理解和治疗精神疾病的视野扩展到了 希望能预防甚至治愈它们然而，在将知识和工具应用于 精神疾病，部分原因是缺乏临床和预防科学研究人员。 因此，培训研究人员将重要的基础科学发现转化为临床应用势在必行。 相关治疗。 这种竞争性的续期申请要求继续NIMH的长期资金，成功的 加州大学圣地亚哥分校（UCSD）生物精神病学和神经科学奖学金。的 奖学金旨在为7名博士后提供教育，研究培训和就业机会 研究员，特别强调那些专注于使用生物工具来理解 精神疾病的病理生理学和大脑过程，并为这些疾病开发潜在的治疗方法 紊乱总的目标是培训来自不同背景的研究员，使他们获得从事研究所需的技能。 生物精神病学和神经科学研究的概念化、规划、实施和出版， 最终目标是成为独立和受资助的研究人员。 该研究金的具体目标是： (1)招募一批不同的高成就的研究员进行高级研究培训 (2)提供成功过渡到独立研究所必需的高水平培训 职业生涯，重点是：a）研究的道德行为和研究道德; B）一般方法 适用于生物精神病学和神经科学的研究; c）在研究中使用数据科学; d） 提高结果再现性的方法; e）与研究对象个人相关的具体方法 f）为编写科学论文提供科学写作培训，并提供赠款 应用。g）关于NIH程序的赠款写作技能和教育 (3)使研究员能够进行和完成一个特定的研究项目，可以被视为一个 一个独立的研究生涯轨迹的种子，包括：a）基于研究项目的建议 B）与UCSD附属导师一起实施该项目，以及c）定期 监测和评估研究进展。 (4)为职业发展提供实用的建议和支持，其中包括： 研究员介绍他们的项目和同行评审赠款申请，并练习赠款评审作为一个模拟 通过强制参加每周的教学会议进行评审; B）详细说明里程碑和职业生涯 在T32个人发展计划（IDP）中写入的指导方针; c）与高级研究人员的网络 在UCSD和其他组织内，并通过在线资源; d）研究员定期举行一对一会议 与科学和职业发展有关的指导和支持主任。

Project Summary Neuroscience is among the fastest growing area of science and has produced remarkable developments that will have profound implications for the understanding and treatment of mental disorders. Innovations and advancements in molecular genetics, brain imaging methods, molecular biology and have resulted in unprecedented advances that have extended visions of understanding and treating psychiatric disorders to the hope of preventing and even curing them. However, there is still a gap in applying knowledge and tools to psychiatric disorders that is due, in part, to a shortage of clinical and translational-science researchers. Consequently, it is imperative train researchers to translate important basic science findings into clinically relevant treatments. This competitive renewal application requests continued NIMH funding for the long-standing, successful University of California, San Diego (UCSD) Fellowship in Biological Psychiatry and Neuroscience. The Fellowship is designed for provide education, research training, and career opportunities for 7 post-doctoral fellows with a particular emphasis on candidates that are focused on using biological tools to understand pathophysiology and brain processes of psychiatric illness and develop potential treatments for these disorders. The overall goal is to train fellows from diverse backgrounds to acquire the skills necessary for the conceptualization, planning, conduct and publication of research in biological psychiatry and neuroscience with the ultimate goal to become independent and funded researchers. Specific goals of the Fellowship are: (1) To recruit a diverse group of highly accomplished fellows for advanced research training (2) To provide a high level of training necessary for successful transition into an independent research career, which is focused on: a) Ethical conduct of research and research ethics; b) General methodologies applicable to research in biological psychiatry and neuroscience; c) Use of data science in research; d) Methods to improve reproducibility of results; e) Specific approaches relevant for the fellow's individual research project; f) Training in scientific writing directed at production of scientific papers and grant applications.; g) Grant writing skills and education regarding NIH procedures (3) To enable the fellow to conduct and complete a specific research project that can be viewed as a seed for an independent research career trajectory and includes: a) Proposal of a research project based on NIH forms and guidelines; b) Implementation of this project with a UCSD-affiliated mentor, and c) Regular monitoring and evaluation of research progress. (4) To provide practical advice and support for career development, which includes: a) Opportunities for fellows to present their projects and peer-review grant applications, and practice grant review as a mock reviewer through mandatory attendance of the weekly didactic session; b) Explicate milestones and career guidelines that are written in the T32 Individual Development Plan (IDP); c) Network with senior researchers within UCSD and other organizations, and via online resources; d) Fellows have regular one-on-one meetings with directors for scientific and career development related mentoring and support.
