Psychiatric Research Residency Training Track

描述(申请人提供)：此申请是为精神病学系建立一个为期4年的住院医师研究培训轨道(RRTT)，与普通精神病学住院医师计划同时进行。我们的计划是由最近的医学研究所报告推动的，该报告建议将专门的精神病学研究培训作为扭转精神病学家研究人员数量较少的部分解决方案。我们的RRTT将强调分子和翻译神经科学，因为这是我们优秀教员的相当大一部分优势。我们将积极招募研究兴趣与我们的强项相匹配的住院医生。R25将允许我们修改普通精神病学住院医师，并丰富非RRTT住院医师的研究素养和经验。这项申请的意义在于，在五年(住院+团契)结束时，该领域将接收10名接受最现代神经科学和精神病学技术培训的高素质研究人员，RRTT为每个住院医师提供了一个明确的独立进程，以巩固他们未来的成功。这些人将接受培训，以处理具有潜在临床应用的研究问题，作为他们工作的重要终点。他们的研究经验将在实验室进行，这些实验室的项目经常与校园周围的其他世界知名实验室联系在一起。这项申请的创新方面是：(I)具有长期指导研究人员成为独立调查人员的历史的杰出教员；(Ii)为每个RRTT居民的需求量身定做的研究经验，包括在他们的实验室接触外部专家或邀请他们进入校园；以及(Iii)由RRTT的管理人员对该计划进行积极的评估和监督。评估将包括设定明确的目标和结果，并将在内部和外部小组审查RRTT的表现，以不断改进RRTT和常驻方案。在资助期结束时，我们将发表一篇文章，介绍我们提出的计划的积极和消极经验。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is for the Department of Psychiatry to establish a 4-year resident research training track (RRTT) to run alongside the general psychiatry residency program. Our plan is driven by the recent Institute of Medicine report that recommends dedicated psychiatry research training as a partial solution to reversing the low number of psychiatrist researchers. Our RRTT will emphasize molecular arid translational neuroscience, because that is the strength of a considerable portion of our outstanding Faculty. We will actively recruit residents whose research interests match our strengths. The R25 will allow us to modify the general psychiatry residency and enrich the research literacy and experience of residents not in the RRTT The significance of this application is that at the end of five years (residency + Fellowship) the field will receives 10 highly qualified researchers trained in the most modern techniques of neuroscience and psychiatry The RRTT provides a clear progression for each resident toward independence in order to consolidate their future success. These individuals will be trained to approach research questions with potential clinical applications as an essential end point of their work. Their research experiences wilI be in laboratories whose programs are often linked to other world-renown laboratories around the campus. The innovative aspects of this application are: (i) its outstanding Faculty who have a long history of mentoring researchers to become independent investigators, (ii) a research experience that is tailored to each RRTT resident's needs including access to external experts in their laboratories or invited onto campus, and (iii) an active evaluation and oversight of the program, by the administrative staff of the RRTT. The evaluation will include setting clear goals and outcomes, and the performance of the RRTT will be reviewed internally and by an external panel so as to constantly improve the RRTT and the residency program. At the end of the funding period we will publish an article on the positive and negative experiences of the program we are proposing.
