Clinical Services Research Training Program

描述(由申请人提供)：NIMH的首要任务之一是继续支持临床服务、干预和政策研究，重点是弥合科学和服务之间的传播和实施差距。在过去的25年里，我们的培训计划，称为临床服务研究培训计划(CSRTP)，通过为来自不同学科(包括心理学、社会工作、流行病学、社会学、医学、卫生经济学和护理)的博士后学者提供高质量的教育和支持，启动了临床服务研究人员的职业生涯，他们计划从事心理健康服务研究。CSRTP的毕业生非常成功：84%(84%)获得了学术或研究职位；按照保守的标准，66%的人获得了外部(主要是联邦)研究基金的研究资助。超过一半(54%)的毕业生是女性，近三分之一(32%)是少数族裔。我们招募少数族裔申请者的能力有所提高。在过去的十年里，恰好有一半被任命的研究员将自己归类为代表性不足的少数群体的成员。在从CSRTP毕业的妇女中，75%的人获得了研究的外部资助；89%的种族/少数民族毕业生获得了外部研究资助。CSRTP毕业生对现有文献做出了实质性贡献，迄今共出版了500多份同行评议的出版物。鉴于我们项目的成功，我们寻求再延长五年，继续为每年七名承诺成为下一代临床服务研究人员杰出领导者的博士后研究员提供高质量的培训。我们的培训目标是(a.)帮助博士后研究员获得足够的方法知识和研究技能，以开展高质量的临床服务和干预研究；(B)通过学习和体验式学习，帮助博士后研究员获得临床服务研究中最重要、最紧迫和最当代问题的知识；(C)协助博士后研究员在学术和研究环境中获得职业发展所必需的专业技能；以及(D)帮助博士后在特定研究领域内建立一个全国性的科学同行网络。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Among NIMH's top priorities is the continued support of clinical services, interventions, and policy research focused on bridging the dissemination and implementation gap between science and service. For the past 25 years, our training program, called the Clinical Services Research Training Program (CSRTP), has launched the careers of clinical services investigators by providing high quality education and support to postdoctoral scholars from a variety of disciplines (including psychology, social work, epidemiology, sociology, medicine, health economics, and nursing) who plan to pursue careers in mental health services research. The graduates of the CSRTP have been extremely successful: eighty-four percent (84%) obtained academic or research positions; by conservative criteria, 66% received research support from extramural, primarily federal, research funds. Over half (54%) of the graduates are women and nearly a third (32%) are racial/ethnic minorities. Our ability to recruit minority applicants has improved. During the last ten years, precisely half of the fellows appointed classify themselves as members of under-represented minorities. Of the women who have graduated from CSRTP, 75% received extramural funding for their research; 89% of the racial/ethnic minority graduates obtained extramural research grant support. CSRTP graduates contributed substantively to the extant literature, producing over 500 peer reviewed publications to date. Given the success of our program, we seek five additional years to continue providing high quality training to seven postdoctoral fellows a year who promise to be outstanding leaders in the next generation of clinical services researchers. Our training goals are (a.) to help postdoctoral fellows acquire sufficient methodological knowledge and research skills to conduct high quality clinical services and interventions research; (b.) through study and experiential learning, to help postdoctoral fellows acquire knowledge about the most important pressing and contemporary issues in clinical services research; (c.) to assist postdoctoral fellows to attain professional skills essential to career advancement in academic and research settings; and (d.) to help postdoctoral fellows develop a national scientific peer network within specific research areas.
