Research Training: Socio-Economics of Mental Health Service Delivery in SE Europe

描述（由申请人提供）：加州大学伯克利分校和罗马尼亚克鲁日巴贝斯-博利亚大学提议为来自东南欧（SEE）的杰出的前博士后经济学家、精神病学家、社会学家、临床医生和精神卫生专业人员提供先进的多学科研究培训，内容涉及影响或推动精神卫生保健服务提供的经济和社会因素的最新研究方法和问题。我们建议以成功的“捷克共和国/中欧财政和心理健康服务培训” （5-D43-TW005810-10）为基础。加州大学伯克利分校的Richard Scheffler教授在过去十年中一直担任该项目的首席研究员和联合主任。另一位联合主任是布拉格查尔斯大学的Martin Potucek教授。在此期间，该项目培训了来自保加利亚、克罗地亚、捷克共和国、罗马尼亚和斯洛伐克的60多人。在过去的5年里，该项目在各方面都取得了巨大的成功，学员出版了72多种出版物，出版了3本书。我们新申请的PI将是舍弗勒教授。因为捷克共和国现在是一个高收入经济体，我们将用一个新的合作伙伴取代查尔斯大学。我们建议新的合作伙伴是罗马尼亚克卢日纳波卡巴贝斯-博利亚大学（http://www.publichealth.ro/）新的公共卫生学院。SPH- BBU将作为欧洲项目的中心，吸引和筛选候选人，并促进他们随后的职业发展。伯克利将继续作为主要的培训地点，提供资深教师指导学员在他们的祖国上课、参加研讨会和从事研究项目。新的联合主任将是巴贝斯-博利亚大学医学博士、博士Razvan Chereches。Chereches博士自己也是我们之前项目的实习生和项目负责人。他还参与了其他NIH项目：爱荷华大学职业与环境健康国际培训与研究项目，福格蒂国际中心- D43 TW000621；少数民族健康和健康差异国际研究与培训，福格蒂国际中心- T37 MD001453-05；和爱荷华大学国际创伤和伤害预防合作研究和培训项目，福格蒂国际中心- D43 TW007261。正如之前的项目从捷克共和国扩展到该地区的其他四个国家一样，我们打算从罗马尼亚和保加利亚开始，并扩展到东南欧的其他中低收入国家。目前感兴趣的国家包括阿尔巴尼亚、摩尔多瓦和塞尔维亚，但也将考虑前南斯拉夫的其他国家。扩展到任何国家总是取决于确定一个适当的机构和人员可以帮助支持合格和感兴趣的受训人员。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of California, Berkeley and Babes-Bolyai University, Cluj, Romania, propose to provide advanced, multidisciplinary research training to outstanding pre- and post-doctoral economists, psychiatrists, sociologists, clinicians, and mental health professionals from South Eastern Europe (SEE) in the latest research methods and issues regarding the economic and social factors that influence or drive the delivery of mental health care services. We propose to build upon the successful "Finance and Mental Health Services Training in Czech Republic/Central Europe (5-D43-TW005810-10). Prof. Richard Scheffler, University of California, Berkeley, has been the PI and co-Director of this program for the past ten years. The other co-Director has been Prof. Martin Potucek, Charles University, Prague. During its span, the program has trained over sixty people from Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Romania, and Slovakia. The past 5 years of the program has been highly successful by all measures, with over 72 publications and 3 books by its trainees. The PI of our new application will be Prof. Scheffler. Because the Czech Republic is now a high-income economy, we will replace Charles University with a new partner. We propose that the new partner be the new School of Public Health at Babes-Bolyai University (http://www.publichealth.ro/), Cluj-Napoca, Romania. SPH- BBU will serve as the hub of the program in Europe, attracting and screening candidates, and fostering their subsequent career development. Berkeley will continue to be the primary training site, providing senior faculty to mentor the trainees as they take classes, participate in seminars, and engage in research projects in their home countries. The new co-Director will be Razvan Chereches, MD, Ph.D., Babes-Bolyai University. Dr. Chereches has himself been a trainee and a project leader in our previous program. He has also participated in other NIH programs: University of Iowa International Training and Research in Occupational and Environmental Health Program, Fogarty International Center - D43 TW000621; Minority Health and Health Disparities International Research and Training, Fogarty International Center- T37 MD001453-05; and University of Iowa International Collaborative Trauma and Injury Prevention Research and Training Program, Fogarty International Center - D43 TW007261. Just as the previous program expanded from the Czech Republic into four other countries in the region, we intend to start from Romania and Bulgaria, and expand into other LMICs in SEE. The countries of interest currently include Albania, Moldova, and Serbia, but other countries of the former Yugoslavia will also be considered. Expansion into any country always depends on identifying an appropriate institution and persons who can help support qualified and interested trainees.
