Stuart T. Hauser Research Training Program in Biological and Social Psychiatry

这是重新提交的T32院校培训补助金的竞争性续签，名为Stuart T。 生物和社会精神病学方面的豪瑟研究培训计划。它即将结束它的第38个年头 针对医学博士、博士和医学博士/博士的成功博士后培训计划，培训对象包括不同级别的 经验，即新完成的住院医师培训或博士学位到7年以上的经验 训练。豪泽博士和麦卡利博士从项目一开始就为该项目提供了领导，而Shenton博士，一位 曾是该项目的实习生，1994年加入该项目担任副主任。当豪泽博士在7月份去世时 2008年，Shenton博士成为PI，McCarley博士继续担任联席主任。随着麦卡利医生的去世 2017年，马雷克·库比基博士成为联席主任。我们计划继续这一刻意广泛的计划， 这与NIMH的使命非常契合：“改变我们对精神疾病的理解”和“铺平道路 用于预防、康复和治愈。“这一计划的基本原理非常明确--培养最多样化和 优秀的年轻调查人员，并为他们配备成功所需的工具和知识 发展自己在生物和/或社会精神病学方面的研究事业，以了解、治疗和 最终预防并有可能治愈精神疾病。我们也同意NIMH的使命，即为了满足这些要求 目标我们需要“培养创新思维”并确保“一系列新颖的科学观点”，用来“ 在大脑、行为和经验的不断发展的科学中的进一步发现。该项目是跨学科的。 (例如，神经科学、发育、神经成像、遗传学等领域)，并以每周1.5- 一个小时的研讨会，包括一个为期3个月的赠款模块，以揭开赠款的神秘面纱，并教授赠款过程。议题 还讨论了与研究的道德行为有关的问题，以及所需技能的发展 作为一名成功的临床研究人员。受训者也会展示他们的工作，外部演讲者是 被邀请讨论他们的职业生涯。另一个目标是让受训者与他们选择的杰出导师一起工作 进一步发展他们的专业知识，并确保他们接受尽可能好的竞争培训 这已经成为支持个人发起的调查者研究的一个困难的领域。有41个戒律者， 在多个研究领域和地点，谁帮助评估候选人，谁担任导师(13个新的 训诫)。实习生花了两年的时间，目标是在这段时间结束时，他们将进行自己的 独立研究，或作为初级同事加入现有的临床研究团队。在过去5年中 学员已获得1个K23奖，1个K01奖，1个F32奖，1个VA职业奖，4个利文斯顿奖，1个 R03、3个NIH还贷奖、3个NARSAD奖以及其他奖项，从而证明了 实习生的高生产率。学员在进入项目时填写需求评估表，然后填写 与哈佛大学内部的相关课程，包括哈佛大学催化剂，在知识方面的差距。我们 招募代表不足的少数族裔，并将代表不足的少数族裔纳入我们的教条。

This is a resubmission of a competitive renewal of a T32 Institutional Training grant, named The Stuart T. Hauser Research Training Program in Biological and Social Psychiatry. It is ending its 38th year of a very successful post-doctoral training program for MDs, PhDs, and MD/PhDs, with trainees at varying levels of experience, i.e., newly completed residency training or PhD degree to 7+ years of experience from initial training. Drs. Hauser and McCarley provided leadership for this program from its inception and Dr. Shenton, a former trainee of the program, joined as Associate Director in 1994. When Dr. Hauser passed away in July 2008, Dr. Shenton became the PI and Dr. McCarley remained as Co-Director. With Dr. McCarley's passing in 2017, Dr. Marek Kubicki became Co-Director. We plan to continue this intentionally broad based program, which fits well with NIMH's mission to “transform our understanding of mental illnesses” and “to pave the way for prevention, recovery, and cure.” The rationale for this program is quite clear – to train the most diverse and outstanding young investigators, and to equip them with the tools and knowledge needed to succeed in developing their own research careers in biological and/or social psychiatry so as to understand, treat, and ultimately prevent and possibly cure mental illness. We also agree with NIMH's mission that to meet these goals we need to “foster innovative thinking” and to ensure “an array of novel scientific perspectives,” used “to further discovery in the evolving science of brain, behavior, and experience.” The program is interdisciplinary (e.g., areas of neuroscience, development, neuroimaging, genetics), and has as its cornerstone a weekly 1.5- hour seminar that includes a 3-month grants module to demystify and to teach the grant process. Issues relevant to the ethical conduct of research are also discussed as are the development of skills needed for a successful career as a clinical researcher. Trainees also present their work, and outside speakers are invited to discuss their careers. A further goal is for trainees to work with outstanding preceptors in their chosen area to develop further their expertise, and to ensure that they receive the best training possible to compete in what has become a difficult arena to support individual initiated investigator research. There are 41 preceptors, across multiple research areas and sites, who help evaluate candidates and who serve as preceptors (13 new preceptors). Trainees devote two years with the goal that at the end of this time they will conduct their own independent research, or join established clinical research teams as junior colleagues. Over the past 5 years trainees have received 1 K23 award, 1 K01 award, 1 F32 award, 1 VA Career Award, 4 Livingston Awards, 1 R03, 3 NIH Loan Repayment Awards, and 3 NARSAD Awards, as well as other awards, thus attesting to the high productivity of trainees. Trainees fill out a needs assessment form upon entering the program and then fill in gaps in knowledge with relevant courses within Harvard University, including the Harvard Catalyst. We recruit underrepresented minorities and include underrepresented minorities among our preceptors.
