Mental Health & Criminal Justice Post-doctoral Training

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请为心理健康和刑事司法（MH-CJ）博士后培训项目提供资金，该项目为博士水平的研究人员提供指导和交叉培训，这些研究人员致力于开发、实施和资助心理健康和刑事司法系统之间动态的服务和干预研究。培训项目将设在nimh资助的精神健康服务和刑事司法研究中心，该中心是罗格斯大学、宾夕法尼亚大学和马萨诸塞大学医学院的合资企业。该中心专门关注精神疾病患者与CJ系统接触时出现的精神卫生服务问题。拟议中的MH-CJ博士后培训项目是罗格斯大学和宾夕法尼亚大学之间的合作项目，要求为六名博士后培训生提供资金。本申请寻求支持，以发展MH-CJ博士后培训计划，这将有助于国家能力开展MH-CJ服务和干预研究，使用多系统学科行动者的观点。具体来说，我们的目标是：1。构建高质量MH-CJ博士后培养计划2. 发展MH-CJ服务/干预研究者的理论基础与协同“研究风格”3. 发展MH-CJ服务/干预研究人员的“研究技能”；和4。发展MH-CJ服务/干预研究人员的“专业技能”。预计拟议的MH-CJ博士后培训计划将最终产生一批MH-CJ服务/干预研究人员骨干，他们准备开展以下研究项目：(a)关注对实践和政策至关重要的问题；(b)建立利益相关者网络，帮助构建研究问题，促进相关研究的发展和开展；(c)采用多学科系统行动者方法对研究问题进行概念化；(d)采用最适当的研究方法；(e)转化为外部资助的研究。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application requests funding for a Mental Health and Criminal Justice (MH-CJ) postdoctoral training program that provides mentored, cross-training to doctorate-level investigators who are committed to developing the capacity to develop, conduct, and fund services and intervention research on the dynamic between the mental health and criminal justice systems. The training program would be situated in the NIMH-funded Center for Mental Health Services & Criminal Justice Research, a joint venture among Rutgers University, the University of Pennsylvania (PENN), and the University of Massachusetts Medical School. The Center focuses exclusively on mental health services issues that arise when persons with mental illness have encounters with the CJ system. The proposed MH-CJ post-doctoral training program, a collaboration between Rutgers and the PENN, requests funding for six post-doctoral trainees. This application seeks support to develop a MH-CJ post-doctoral training program that will contribute to the national capacity to conduct MH-CJ services and intervention research using a multi-system-disciplinary actor perspective. Specifically, our aims are to: 1. Build a High Quality MH-CJ Post-doctoral Training Program; 2. Develop the Theory base and Collaborative "Research Style" of MH-CJ Services/Intervention Researchers; 3. Develop the "Research Skills" of MH-CJ Services/Interventions Researchers; and 4. Develop the "Professional Skills" of MH-CJ Services/Interventions Researchers. It is expected that the proposed MH-CJ post-doctoral training program will yield as its final outcome a cadre of MH-CJ services/intervention researchers who are prepared to develop research projects that (a) focus on problems that are central to practice and policy; (b) build stakeholder networks that help frame the research questions and facilitate the development and conduct of related research; (c) conceptualize the research question using a multi-disciplinary-system-actor approach; (d) incorporate the most appropriate research methods; and (e) translate into externally funded research.
