Research Colloquium for Junior Investigators

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请要求延续在美国精神病学协会（APA）年度会议期间举行的初级调查员研究讨论会。在过去的九年里，该研讨会由国家精神卫生研究所（NIMH）资助，国家药物滥用研究所（NIDA）和国家酒精滥用和酒精中毒研究所（NIAAA）提供补充资金，前五年由合同资助，代表了美国精神病学研究与教育研究所（APIRE）和美国精神病学协会研究培训委员会的共同努力。讨论会是一个为期一天的密集研讨会，每年在APA年会开始的周日举行。总共54名研究人员（45名“初级轨道”和9名“高级轨道”）将被选中参加由同行和导师组成的小型互动小组，在那里他们将介绍和接受他们的研究计划和建议的反馈。此外，参与者将在海报会议上展示他们的作品，接受额外的职业发展指导，并参加其他教育论坛。研讨会的目标是确定精神病学的资深住院医师、研究人员和初级教员，他们是成功研究事业的有希望的候选人，特别注意招募少数民族/种族和妇女。研讨会旨在接触这些处于职业生涯关键阶段的年轻精神病学家，并通过为他们提供深入的研究机会以及与同行和导师互动的机会来支持他们的职业发展。研讨会的主要目的是鼓励参与者继续研究道路，发展独立的研究事业，以获得资助支持、在同行评审期刊上发表论文和在研究机构的学术任命为衡量标准。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application requests continuation of the Research Colloquium for Junior Investigators held during the annual meeting of the American Psychiatric Association (APA). Supported for nine years--the past four through a grant from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), with supplemental funding from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), and for the previous five years by a contract-the Colloquium represents a joint effort of the American Psychiatric Institute for Research and Education (APIRE) and the APA Committee on Research Training. The Colloquium is a one-day, intensive workshop held annually on the Sunday that begins the APA annual meeting. A total of 54 investigators (45 "junior track" and 9 "senior track") will be selected to meet in small interactive groups of peers and mentors where they will present and receive feedback on their research plans and proposals. In addition, participants will present their work at a poster session, receive additional career development mentoring, and participate in other educational forums. The goal of the Colloquium is to identify senior residents in psychiatry, research fellows and junior faculty who are promising candidates for successful research careers, with special attention being paid to the recruitment of ethnic/racial minorities and women. The Colloquium aims to reach these young psychiatrists at a pivotal point in their careers and to support their career development by providing them with intensive research exposure and with opportunities for interaction with peers and mentors. The broad aim of the Colloquium is to encourage participants to continue on a research path, and to develop independent research careers as measured by the receipt of grant support, publication in peer-reviewed journals, and academic appointments at research institutions.
