Translational Research Training in Child Psychiatry

 产品说明：这是自1980年以来持续资助的T32“儿童精神病学转化研究培训”的更新申请。该计划的使命是招募和培养下一代的翻译科学家，他们认识到，为神经发育障碍制定有效的预防和/或治疗策略，需要研究潜在的生物学和环境之间的双向途径在个人和群体水平。培训方案的成功反映在受训人员的成就和研究员的多样性上。 在过去10年中，我们成功地从33名学员中的31名（94%）毕业，18名学员获得了大量的独立资助，包括6个职业发展奖（K 08，K12和K23），1个R 01，2个R21，1个NIEHS资助，5个NARSAD奖，16个基金会赠款，美国儿童和青少年精神病学学会（AACAP）的4个试点奖，萨克勒发展心理生物学研究所的3个奖，NIH的4个贷款偿还奖，纽约州精神卫生办公室的4个奖，以及1个保罗·詹森奖学金。我们目前有6名研究员，其中2人是代表性不足的少数民族。两名研究员将于本月毕业，两名女医学博士研究员已接受开始在7月。 在T32的最后一次提交中，委员会得出结论，“导师和培训环境被审查委员会认为是杰出的。评审员还评论说，该计划在培养优秀的独立资助学员方面有着良好的记录。“该提交文件描述了一项培训计划，通过加强教学计划和战略性增加导师来加强翻译研究的机会。为了进一步改善培训计划和招聘多元化的申请人，我们已经采取了实质性的步骤，重组计划的领导，涉及更广泛的成就教师，并修改教学法。

 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.
