International Mental Health/Developmental Disabilities Research Training Program

描述（由申请人提供）：精神病学，心理学的发展项目，儿科学和遗传学与NIMH R25精神健康/发育障碍（MHDD）研究培训项目、HRSA/MCH资助的大学发展障碍卓越中心（UCEDD）跨学科培训项目和波士顿儿童医院（CHB）的临床研究项目合作，正在寻求5年的支持，以与两个领先的专业合作，竞争延续D43 ICOHRTA国际MHDD研究培训项目外国（MFC）机构在安卡拉，土耳其。美国教师包括领先的美国国立卫生研究院，STAART/卓越自闭症中心，HHMI和麦克阿瑟基金会支持的研究人员担任导师和教师。一个主要目标是加强土耳其在MHDD方面的研究。土耳其是一个符合国际人道主义援助计划资格的中等收入发展中国家，人口年轻（15岁以下的7000万人中有30%）。世卫组织估计，大约。发展中国家12%的人口是残疾人，在4-18岁年龄组中，有一半以上的人有精神残疾。该项目包括3个级别的经过精心挑选的国际研究员，重点是中期入门奖学金（n=2； 400万美元，600万MFC）和长期高级奖学金（n=3, 12万MFC）。被邀请的暑期研究员有机会进一步扩大国家影响力，与美国- mfc合作和建立网络（n= 2,150万美元）。该计划代表了对MFC研究和培训的日益重视。研究员将通过正在进行的研讨会、电子学习计划、国家研讨会和美国导师的访问获得持续的指导。该方案包括共同的培训组成部分（核心课程、方法、诊断评估和负责任的研究行为）以及涉及指导研究的主要跨学科研究主题。该计划的优势包括其优秀的跨学科美国和MFC教师，研究的广度，美国和MFC机构之间扩大的合作，专门的指导和通过国内和国际网络传播研究成果的计划。该计划与严格的评估相关联，以获得更大的国内、区域和全球影响。该项目一直是美国国立卫生研究院在土耳其的重要旗舰项目，以最高的科学标准为基础，在一个非常重要的十字路口地区加强合作，这表明了我们的研究员的进步。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The developmental programs in psychiatry, psychology, pediatrics and genetics in collaboration with the NIMH R25 Mental Health/Developmental Disabilities (MHDD) research training program and the HRSA/MCH funded University Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities (UCEDD) interdisciplinary training program and the Clinical Research Programs at the Children's Hospital Boston (CHB) are seeking 5-year support for competing continuation of the D43 ICOHRTA International MHDD Research Training Program in partnership with two leading Major Foreign Country (MFC) institutions in Ankara, Turkey. The US faculty includes leading NIH, STAART/Autism Center of Excellence, HHMI and MacArthur Foundation supported investigators serving as mentors and teachers. A major goal is the enhancement of research in MHDD in Turkey, an ICOHRTA eligible middle income developing country with a youthful population (30% of 70m under 15 years or younger). WHO estimates that approx. 12% of the population in developing countries is disabled, with mental disabilities constituting more than half in the 4-18 year age group. The program includes 3-levels of highly selected international fellows with emphasis on intermediate term inceptorships (n=2; 4m US, 6m MFC) and longer-term advanced fellowships (n=3 12m, MFC). Invited summer fellows allow opportunities for further greater national impact, US-MFC collaborations and networking (n=2, 1.5m, US). This program represents an increased emphasis in MFC research and training. Fellows receive continuous mentorship through work-in-progress seminars, E-learning programs, national workshops and visits by US mentors. The program included common training components (core curriculum, methods, diagnostic assessments and responsible conduct of research) as well as principal interdisciplinary research themes involving mentored research. The strength of this program include its excellent interdisciplinary US and MFC faculty, breadth of research, expanded collaborations between US and MFC institutions, dedicated mentoring and plans for dissemination of findings by means of both national and international networks. The program is linked to a rigorous evaluation for greater in-country, regional and global impact. The program has been serving as an important NIH flagship in Turkey for increased cooperation in a highly important crossroads region, based on the highest scientific standards as indicated by the progress of our fellows.
