Psychiatric Research Residency Training Track

描述（由申请人提供）：此R25申请响应PAR-12-263，并将使UCSD精神病学部门能够开发新的研究住院医师培训轨道（RRTT）。为了解决精神科医生成为学术研究人员的不足，医学研究所（IOM）呼吁建立精神病学rrtt。加州大学圣地亚哥分校自1987年以来一直通过内部资金和NIMH过去5年的支持维持着精神病学RRTT。目前的应用程序建立在我们过去RRTT经验的优势和加州大学圣地亚哥分校教师的大量科学专业知识的基础上，并开发了一个既实质性又创新性的RRTT。该项目将通过扩大精神病学家研究人员的数量，实现IOM和NIMH理事会报告“投资于未来”以及本FOA的目标，这是改善精神障碍治疗和结果的关键一步。本应用程序将实现两个目标：目标1。招募和培养最优秀的医学毕业生作为精神病学研究人员，通过具体的10点计划提高申请人群体的多样性。学员将完成为期4年的RRTT (PG I-IV)；受保护的研究时间从17% （PGY-II）增加到70% （PGY-IV）。PGY-III - IV每周研讨会的严格教学将为学员完成NIMH战略计划做好准备：1)促进大脑和行为科学的发现，2)绘制精神疾病轨迹，3)开发新的和更好的干预措施，以及4)加强NIMH支持的研究对公共卫生的影响。研讨会将提供研究设计、数据分析、手稿编写、结果传播、生物伦理和负责任的研究行为等基本知识的全面基础。学员将获得学术生存技能，并接受细致的监督和个性化的职业指导。目标2。实施三个新颖的、形成性的项目，促进学术精神病学的职业发展和保留：基础临床协同、重点社区服务和早期指导培训。这些创新项目将加强和维持精神病学RRTT学员与精神健康研究和学术精神病学核心任务的职业联系。加州大学圣地亚哥分校RRTT目前有3名优秀学员。在未来5年，在R25的支持下，加州大学圣地亚哥分校每年将招收2名RRTT培训生，毕业7名RRTT培训生（目前3名+新4名）。在5年结束时，8名r25资助的学员仍将在“管道”中，在PGY-I中分配（每年2名）

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This R25 application responds to PAR-12-263, and will enable the UCSD Dept. of Psychiatry to develop a new Research Resident Training Track (RRTT). To address a deficit of Psychiatrists who become academic researchers, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) called for the establishment of Psychiatry RRTTs. UCSD has maintained a Psychiatry RRTT since 1987, via internal funding and 5 years of past NIMH support. The present application builds on the strengths of our past RRTT experiences and the considerable scientific expertise of the UCSD Faculty, and develops a RRTT that is both substantive and innovative. This program will achieve the goals of the IOM and the NIMH Council report, "Investing in the Future," and of this FOA, by expanding the pool of Psychiatrist researchers - a crucial step towards improving treatment and outcome for mental disorders. This application will achieve 2 Aims: Aim 1. To recruit and educate as psychiatric researchers the highest caliber medical graduates, boosting diversity of the applicant pool through a specific, 10-point plan. Trainees will complete a 4-year RRTT (PG I-IV); protected research time increases from 17% (PGY-II) to 70% (PGY-IV). Rigorous didactics in PGY-III - IV weekly seminars will prepare trainees to fulfill the NIMH strategic plan to: 1) promote discovery in the brain and behavioral sciences, 2) chart mental illness trajectories, 3) develop new and better interventions, and 4) strengthen the public health impact of NIMH-supported research. Seminars will provide a comprehensive grounding in the fundamentals of research design, data analysis, manuscript preparation, dissemination of findings, bioethics and the responsible conduct of research. Trainees will acquire academic survival skills and receive careful supervision and personalized career mentorship. Aim 2. To implement three novel, formative programs fostering career development and retention in Academic Psychiatry: Basic-Clinical Synergy, Focused Community Service, and Early Mentorship Training. Described in detail in this application, these innovative programs will strengthen and sustain Psychiatry RRTT trainees' career connection with mental health research, and with the core missions of academic psychiatry. The UCSD RRTT now has 3 outstanding trainees. Over the next 5 years, with R25 support, UCSD will admit 2 RRTT trainee/yr and graduate 7 RRTT trainees (3 current + 4 new). At the end of 5 years, 8 R25-funded trainees will still be in the "pipeline," distributed (2 per year) across PGY-I IV years. These eight trainees will complete their RRTT via renewed R25 or Departmental support, bringing the total "yield" of this program to 7+8 =15 RRTT trainees. UCSD will provide careful, individualized oversight of each trainee, in an innovative format that will accelerate ther path towards research fellowships, faculty positions and NIH career development and research grants. With this R25, UCSD will achieve the goal of this NIMH Research Education Program by "fostering the development of mental health researchers via creative and innovative research educational programs," and "advancing the career development of scientists committed to... the mission of the NIMH."
