Institutional Research Training Program in Social Work

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请要求继续培训和发展来自不同群体的下一代心理健康研究人员的非常成功的计划。该项目始于30年前，已为308名研究员提供支持，其中206人已获得博士学位，42人仍在完成论文。 参与者包括154名非洲裔美国人，18名美洲印第安人，66名亚裔美国人和70名西班牙裔美国人。 该博士前培训计划将继续增加接受过心理健康和精神疾病研究培训的科学家数量，增加来自不同群体的研究人员数量，以进行与国家心理健康研究所（NIMH）相关的研究;并解决需要解决心理健康和精神疾病现有知识的紧迫差距。 CSWE将从美国各地为该项目招募社会工作者。 校友研究员的成就表明，RFP可以从不同群体中招募优秀的研究员，并为他们提供强大的研究知识和技能培训，使他们能够成为下一代心理健康研究人员的一部分。 校友研究员仍然参与该计划，是该计划的招聘工作的重要组成部分。在研究咨询委员会的协助下，由NIMH资助的心理健康研究人员组成，RFP主任将选择和安置研究员，并继续为他们的博士工作提供咨询和支持。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application requests the continuation of a highly successful program of training and developing the next generation of mental health researchers from diverse groups. The program began 30 years ago and has provided support to 308 fellows, 206 of whom have received doctoral degrees and 42 who are still working on completing their dissertations. Participants have included 154 African Americans, 18 American Indians, 66 Asian Americans and 70 Hispanic Americans. This predoctoral training program will continue to increase the number of scientists trained to conduct research in mental health and mental illness, increase the number of researchers from diverse groups trained to conduct research relevant to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH); and address the need to address urgent gaps in the existing knowledge of mental health and mental illness. CSWE will recruit social workers for the program from across the United States. The accomplishments of the alumni fellows demonstrate that the RFP can recruit outstanding fellows from diverse groups and provide them with strong training in research knowledge and skills that will enable them to become part of the next generation of mental health researchers. The alumni fellows remain involved with the program and are an essential part of the program's recruitment efforts. With the assistance of the Research Advisory Committee, composed of NIMH funded mental health researchers, the RFP director will select and place fellows and continue to counsel and support their doctoral work.
