Development and Psychopathology Research Training Grant

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请提出了一个为期5年的发展和精神病理学博士前和博士后培训计划的延续（目前的资助期为07/01/04-06/30/09），我们已经在10年的资助期内完善。我们的培训模式整合了俄勒冈州大学（DO），俄勒冈州社会学习中心和俄勒冈州研究所的教师和科学家的研究，他们在神经科学，发育机制和干预科学方面的研究在国际上享有盛誉。这种合作设计使我们能够提供一个培训计划，将发展和神经生物学研究转化为儿童和家庭的临床干预措施。培训将强调跨4个研究领域的整合：（a）神经发育系统，包括神经科学和技术培训以及神经行为方法的应用;（B）关系动态，包括加剧心理健康诊断风险或提供保护的社会互动过程;（c）预防和干预科学，有机会在不同背景下进行多项资助的干预试验;及（d）多元化培训，以加强知识和技能，对不同人口进行研究。该计划包括两个主要组成部分：（a）学员的个性化指导，涉及跨越2个不同领域的研究的初级和次级导师，以及（B）正在进行的每周工作组研讨会，涉及学员和感兴趣的学生，教师和研究人员，包括研讨会，正式和非正式的演讲，并有组织的阅读讨论。在任何一年的资助中，都需要为6名博士前学员和2名博士后学员提供资金。博士预科生将从UO的临床，咨询和学校心理学博士生中选出，所有APA认证的课程都包括大量潜在的少数民族候选人。博士后培训生将从印刷品和互联网/电子邮件公告中的国家广告中挑选。将在每个重点领域提供统计和方法方面的高级培训，并在培训研讨会中举办应用讲习班。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application proposes a 5-year continuation of a pre- and postdoctoral training program in development and psychopathology (current funded period is 07/01/04-06/30/09) that we have refined during a 10-year funding period. Our training model integrates the research of faculty and scientists at the University of Oregon (DO), Oregon Social Learning Center, and Oregon Research Institute who are internationally known for their research in neuroscience, developmental mechanisms, and intervention science. This collaborative design makes us uniquely poised to offer a training program in the translation of developmental and neurobiological research to clinical interventions with children and families. Training will emphasize integration across 4 domains of research: (a) neurodevelopmental systems, including neuroscience and training in technology and application of neurobehavioral approaches; (b) relationship dynamics, including social interaction processes that exacerbate risk for the development of mental health diagnoses, or provide protection; (c) prevention and intervention science with opportunities to work on multiple funded intervention trials occurring in diverse contexts; and (d) diversity training for enhancing knowledge and skills to conduct research with diverse populations. The program includes 2 major components: (a) individualized mentorship of trainees, involving a primary and secondary mentor with research that spans 2 different domains, and (b) an ongoing weekly working group seminar involving trainees and interested students, faculty, and researchers, including workshops, formal and informal presentations, and organized discussions of readings. Funding is sought for 6 pre-doctoral trainees and 2 postdoctoral trainees in any given year of support. Pre-doctoral students will be selected from among doctoral students in clinical, counseling, and school psychology at UO, all APA-accredited programs that include a significant number of potential minority candidates. Postdoctoral trainees will be selected from national advertisement in print and Internet/email-based announcements. Advanced training in statistics and methodology will be provided in each area of focus, with applied workshops included in the training seminars.
