Mental Health & Criminal Justice Post-doctoral Training

描述(由申请人提供)：本申请申请资助心理健康和刑事司法(MH-CJ)博士后培训计划，该计划为博士级别的调查人员提供有指导的交叉培训，这些调查人员致力于发展开发、实施和资助关于心理健康和刑事司法系统之间动态的服务和干预研究的能力。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(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遇到CJ系统时出现的精神健康服务问题。拟议的MH-CJ博士后培训计划是罗格斯大学和宾夕法尼亚大学的合作项目，要求为6名博士后实习生提供资金。这项申请寻求支持，以开发MH-CJ博士后培训计划，该计划将有助于国家能力进行MH-CJ服务和干预研究，使用多系统学科行动者的观点。具体地说，我们的目标是：1.建立高质量的MH-CJ博士后培训计划；2.发展MH-CJ服务/干预研究人员的理论基础和协作“研究风格”；3.发展MH-CJ服务/干预研究人员的“研究技能”；以及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博士后培训方案将产生一批MH-CJ服务/干预研究人员作为其最终结果，他们准备开发研究项目，以(A)侧重于对实践和政策至关重要的问题；(B)建立利益攸关方网络，帮助构建研究问题框架，并促进相关研究的发展和开展；(C)使用多学科系统行为者方法对研究问题进行概念化；(D)纳入最适当的研究方法；(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.
