SCHIZOPHRENIA RESEARCH TRAINING

该培训计划的总体目的是增加 研究人员是精神分裂症的地区谁有能力应用现代 临床研究的技术，并结合最新的发展， 神经科学的研究。培训学科： 精神药理学，脑成像，遗传学，神经病理学，神经心理学， 分子神经生物学和流行病学将提供参与 教师积极从事精神分裂症相关的研究。所有成员都 联邦资助的研究项目。培训将发展研究技能 通过监督参与是正在进行的研究，但学员将 同时，我们也希望能够建立和执行独立的项目。教学工作 专注于研究设计和统计，每周一次的精神分裂症研究 研讨会回顾了当前各个领域的精神分裂症研究。 该项目的受训人员将主要是完成了以下工作的精神科医生： 他们的医学院训练和四年的住院医生这些学员 有相当丰富的经验，诊断和治疗重大 精神疾病，包括精神分裂症，但可能缺乏具体的 研究技能，如发展可检验的假设，设计一个可行的 机构审查委员会可接受的研究，以及收集 标准化研究数据的分析。除了这些MD 精神科医生，我们希望我们将招募MD/PhD精神科医生， 基础科学研究背景。心理学家博士，神经学家医学博士， 对精神分裂症有特殊兴趣的生物学家博士。我们将调整 培训，以适应他们的背景和兴趣。申请八项津贴 每年支助2至3名研究员，预计大多数人将得到一些支助 第三年的训练。 这个项目将在纽约州立精神病研究所进行 （NYSPI），Creedmoor精神病中心（CPC）在皇后区，纽约，和 哥伦比亚长老会校园的纽约长老会医院（NYPH），由 哥伦比亚大学的教师在这些机构。总数达到 每年有超过五千万美元是联邦赠款，一个研究机构， 64张床位（包括12张指定的精神分裂症住院研究床位） 由NYS在NYSPI资助的单位），CPC的另外25个研究床位也得到了类似的资助， NIMH精神分裂症中心拨款，休斯研究所，和其他5个MHCRC， 有研究人员和临床设施继续 执行这项拟议的培训计划，取得了巨大的成功，是其 培训工作至今。

The overall purpose of this training program is to increase the number of researchers is the area of schizophrenia who have the ability to apply modern techniques of clinical research and incorporate recent developments is neuroscience into their investigations. Training in the disciplines of psychopharmacology, brain imaging, genetics, neuropathology, neuropsychology, molecular neurobiology and epidemiology will be offered by participating faculty actively engaged is schizophrenia-related research. All members have federally-funded research projects. The training will develop research skills by supervised participation is ongoing research, but the trainee will be expected to construct and execute independent projects as well. Didactic work focuses on research design and statistics, and a weekly schizophrenia research seminar reviews current schizophrenia research in all areas. Trainees for the project will primarily be psychiatrists who have completed both their medical school training and 4 years of residency. These trainees have had considerable experience with the diagnosis and treatment of major psychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia, but are likely to lack specific research skills such as developing testable hypotheses, designing a feasible research study acceptable to institutional review boards, and the collection and analysis of standardized research data. In addition to these MD psychiatrists, we expect that we will recruit MD/PhD psychiatrists with a background in basic science research. PhD psychologists, MD neurologists, and PhD biologists with a special interest in schizophrenia. We will adapt the training to suit their background and interests. Eight stipends are requested to support 2 to 3 fellows per year, with most projected to receive some support for a third year of training. This program will be conducted at the New York State Psychiatric Institute (NYSPI), the Creedmoor Psychiatric Center (CPC) in Queens, NY, and the Columbia-Presbyterian campus of the New York Presbyterian Hospital (NYPH), by faculty members of Columbia University at these institutions. With a total of over fifty million dollars annually is federal grants, a research institute with 64 beds (including a 12 bed designated schizophrenia inpatient research unit funded by NYS at NYSPI), another 25 research beds at CPC similarly funded, an NIMH schizophrenia center grant, a Hughes Institute, and 5 other MHCRCs, there exists the research personnel and clinical facilities to continue to execute this proposed training program, which has had excellent success is its training efforts thus far.
