Fellowship in Geriatric Mental Health

描述（由申请人提供）：这是一份为期5年的加州大学圣地亚哥分校（UCSD）老年心理健康T-32奖学金项目续签申请。随着人口老龄化，对老年心理健康研究领导者的需求将继续增加。10年来，我校T-32项目共培养博士生8人、医学生9人、博士后33人，其中16人仍在培养中。剩下的34名学员中，有28人（82%）不再参加T-32项目，他们仍在继续全职的学术活动。大多数学员已经发表了多篇同行评议的手稿。56%的学员是女性，30%的学员来自少数民族。T-32项目是加州大学圣地亚哥分校老年精神病学部门一个更大的研究培训项目的一部分。T-32计划隶属于nimh资助的高级干预和服务研究中心，该中心有一个独特的生物伦理单位，为伦理问题的研究提供教育和咨询。我们的学员获得了7项NIMH职业发展(K)奖，8项NARSAD青年研究者奖，6项NIMH博士后少数民族或残疾补助金，4项NIMH少数民族博士预科奖，以及其他几项同行评议的竞争性资助。本次续期申请拟支持8个博士后和3个博士预科奖学金职位。一个额外的博士前奖学金名额将被划分为每年支持四名医学院学生参加暑期培训项目。我们的研究奖学金计划的目标是培养一批年轻的院士骨干，他们将从事与老年心理健康相关的研究，反过来，他们将培养未来老年心理健康领域的领导者。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is an application for a 5-year renewal of the T-32 Fellowship Program in Geriatric Mental Health at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). As the population ages, the demand for leaders in geriatric mental health research will continue to increase. Over the last 10 years, our T-32 program has recruited a total of 50 trainees including 8 predoctoral and 9 medical students, and 33 postdoctoral Fellows. 16 of these 50 Fellows are still in training. 28 of the remaining 34 trainees (82%), who are no longer in the T-32 program, are still continuing full-time academic activities. Most trainees have published multiple peer-reviewed manuscripts. 56% of all the trainees have been women and 30% have come from ethnic minority groups. The T-32 program is a part of a larger research training program within the Division of Geriatric Psychiatry at UCSD. The T-32 Program is affiliated with an NIMH-funded Advanced Center for Interventions and Services Research, which has a distinct Bioethics Unit that provides education and consultation for research in ethical issues. Our trainees have obtained 7 NIMH Career Development (K) Awards, 8 NARSAD Young Investigator Awards, 6 NIMH Postdoctoral Minority or Disability Supplements, 4 NIMH Minority Predoctoral Awards, and several other peer-reviewed competitive grants. This renewal application proposes to support eight postdoctoral and three predoctoral Fellowship positions. One additional predoctoral Fellowship slot will be divided to support four medical students in a summer training program annually. It is the goal of our Research Fellowship program to produce a cadre of young academicians who will perform research related to geriatric mental health and who will, in turn, train future leaders in geriatric mental health.
