Child Developmental Psychopathology

描述（由申请人提供）：该计划的目的是培养发展心理学研究的博士前和博士后学生。该申请是为了继续一项研究培训计划，该计划自1959年以来一直得到NIMH的支持。培训地点是儿童发展研究所（成立于1925年），作为国际知名的发展科学研究中心，具有独特的地位。该研究所的学者社区从事关于生物，感官，知觉，认知，社会和情感过程发展的实质性和重要的基础研究。与此同时，该研究所的教师和学生寻求“放弃”人类发展的知识;并从事跨学科的协作工作，包括大脑和行为之间的接口，以及个人与其发展嵌入的背景系统之间的接口，如家庭，同龄人，学校，社区和文化系统。该培训计划每年将为四名博士前学者提供支持，其中至少一人将从事发展精神病理学或发展神经科学关键领域的跨学科研究;任命为两年。进入该计划的博士前学员将完成心理学或相关领域的学士学位研究，偶尔会有一些（通常为2年）研究生培训。博士前学员完成一个完整的主要和次要的计划，包括课程，研究和教学学徒，和考试。该培训计划还将每年为两名博士后学员提供支持;任命为期两年。博士后学员将从两类人中招募：那些博士研究不是在发展心理学，但谁的愿望在发展科学的研究培训;和那些谁的培训是在发展科学，但谁寻求发展心理病理学或发展神经科学扩展的跨学科培训。博士后的主要工作是研究。培训地点位于明尼苏达大学的主校区。它包括最先进的计算机，实验室和图书馆设施，以及工作人员，学生和学员的办公室。教师包括16名教授，他们的工作范围横跨整个学科。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of the proposed program is to train predoctoral and postdoctoral students in research in developmental psychology. The application is to continue a research training program that has had continuous NIMH support since 1959. The training site, the Institute of Child Development (founded in 1925), holds a unique position as an internationally known, premier center of research in developmental science. The community of scholars at the Institute engages in substantive and significant basic research on the development of biological, sensory, perceptual, cognitive, social, and emotional processes. Simultaneously, the Institute faculty and students seek to "give away" knowledge of human development; and to engage in collaborative work across several disciplines, including the interface between brain and behavior, and between individuals and the contextual systems in which their development is embedded, such as family, peers, schools, community, and cultural systems. The training program would provide support for four predoctoral scholars per year, at least one of whom would be engaged in interdisciplinary research in the critical fields of developmental psychopathology or developmental neuroscience; appointments are for two years. Predoctoral trainees entering the program will have completed baccalaureate studies in psychology or a related field and occasionally will have had some (typically 2 yrs) graduate training. Predoctoral trainees complete a full major and minor program, including coursework, research and teaching apprenticeships, and examinations. The training program also would provide support for two postdoctoral trainees per year; appointments are for two years. Postdoctoral trainees would be recruited from two categories of individuals: those whose doctoral studies were not in developmental psychology, but who desire research training in developmental science; and those whose training was in development science, but who seek expanded interdisciplinary training in developmental psychopathology or developmental neuroscience. The primary engagement of postdoctoral trainees is research. The training site is located on the main campus of the University of Minnesota. It includes state-of-the-art computer, laboratory, and library facilities, as well as offices for staff, students, and trainees. The faculty includes 16 professors, whose work ranges across the entire discipline.
