Mental Health Research Education Grant (R25)

描述(由申请人提供)：这是密歇根大学NIMH研究教育补助金的竞争性续签申请，授予2001-2006年，部分支持精神病学系和分子与行为神经科学研究所的创新住院研究轨道。该计划通过在住院医师培训中提供纵向研究培训，吸引精神病学住院医师进入研究职业生涯，并为毕业生成为下一代临床医生-科学家做准备。这一创新计划在住院医师培训之前或早期招募住院医师，并提供广泛的研究经验，作为较长时间博士后培训的一部分，而不是推迟到住院医师培训后的奖学金。研究跟踪(RT)提供相当于18个月的研究培训，作为五年培训计划的一部分，或者对于那些将住院医生培训与奖学金培训相结合的人，提供六到七年的培训计划。研究工作是通过在三年多一点的时间内对培训方案的研究部分进行大约一半的工作来进行的。RT计划的目标是提供1)有效整合临床和研究培训的灵活性，2)为临床和研究培训提供循序渐进的教育体验，以及3)与成熟的精神健康研究人员一起提供有指导的结构化研究体验。该计划致力于通过提供必要的培训、结构和资源来促进精神健康研究人员的发展，这些都是开始精神病学学术和研究职业生涯所必需的。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a competing renewal application for the University of Michigan's NIMH Research Education Grant, awarded 2001-2006, for partial support of an innovative Residency Research Track in the Department of Psychiatry and the Molecular and Behavioral Neuroscience Institute. This program attracts psychiatry residents into research careers by providing longitudinal research training throughout residency training and prepares graduates to become the next generation of clinician-scientists. This innovative program recruits residents before or early into residency training and provides extensive research experience as part of an extended period of postdoctoral training rather than postponing it to a post-residency fellowship. The Research Track (RT) provides the equivalent of 18 months of research training as part of a five or, for those integrating residency with fellowship training, six to seven-year training program. The research effort is spent by working approximately half-time on the research component of the training program over a period of slightly longer than three years. The goals of the RT program are to provide 1) the flexibility to effectively integrate clinical and research training, 2) a sequenced educational experience for both clinical and research training, and 3) a mentored structured research experience with established mental health investigators. This program strives to foster the development of mental health researchers by providing the training, structure, and resources that are necessary to begin an academic, research-focused career in psychiatry.
