Mental Health Research Education Grant (R25)

描述（由申请人提供）：这是密歇根大学NIMH研究教育补助金的竞争性续期申请，授予2001-2006年，部分支持精神病学系和分子与行为神经科学研究所的创新住院研究轨道。该计划通过在整个住院医师培训中提供纵向研究培训，吸引精神病学住院医师进入研究职业，并为毕业生成为下一代临床医生科学家做好准备。这个创新的项目在住院医师培训之前或早期招募住院医师，并提供广泛的研究经验，作为博士后培训的一部分，而不是将其推迟到住院后奖学金。研究轨道（RT）提供相当于18个月的研究培训的一部分，五个或那些整合居住与奖学金培训，六至七年的培训计划。研究工作是通过在培训计划的研究部分工作大约一半的时间，在一个略长于三年的时间。RT计划的目标是提供1）有效整合临床和研究培训的灵活性，2）临床和研究培训的顺序教育经验，以及3）与既定的心理健康调查人员指导的结构化研究经验。该计划致力于通过提供必要的培训，结构和资源来促进心理健康研究人员的发展，以开始以精神病学为中心的学术，研究职业生涯。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a competing renewal application for the University of Michigan's NIMH Research Education Grant, awarded 2001-2006, for partial support of an innovative Residency Research Track in the Department of Psychiatry and the Molecular and Behavioral Neuroscience Institute. This program attracts psychiatry residents into research careers by providing longitudinal research training throughout residency training and prepares graduates to become the next generation of clinician-scientists. This innovative program recruits residents before or early into residency training and provides extensive research experience as part of an extended period of postdoctoral training rather than postponing it to a post-residency fellowship. The Research Track (RT) provides the equivalent of 18 months of research training as part of a five or, for those integrating residency with fellowship training, six to seven-year training program. The research effort is spent by working approximately half-time on the research component of the training program over a period of slightly longer than three years. The goals of the RT program are to provide 1) the flexibility to effectively integrate clinical and research training, 2) a sequenced educational experience for both clinical and research training, and 3) a mentored structured research experience with established mental health investigators. This program strives to foster the development of mental health researchers by providing the training, structure, and resources that are necessary to begin an academic, research-focused career in psychiatry.
