Post-Doctoral Training in Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Research

项目摘要/摘要 该计划在智力和发展研究方面提供跨学科的博士后培训。 自1995年以来的残疾(IDD)，重点是社会情感、认知和沟通以及家庭 流程。招收毕业博士后学员43人，博士后学员3人 目前正在该项目中。在我们的43名毕业实习生中，有32人获得了世界各地大学的教职 美国和几乎所有其他国家都在该领域获得了研究密集型职位。培训计划是 位于威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校的韦斯曼中心，并完全融入了 多学科和翻译中心培训活动，包括通过NICHD资助的知识分子 和发育障碍研究中心(IDDRC)，NIH教职员工提供的90多项研究资助 研究人员，以及一项蓬勃发展的临床计划，每年为2900名患者服务。培训计划的总体目标 是提供跨学科的生物行为和翻译研究培训，以培养下一代 国际缺乏病研究人员。我们的计划旨在为学员提供广泛的IDD知识基础 (例如，流行率、病因和表现)、种族/民族、文化和社会经济地位的影响 关于IDD、研究道德、如何进行严谨和可复制的科学以及专业的问题 与获得领导职位所需的研究资金和能力有关的发展。在……里面 此外，通过项目教师的深入研究指导，我们的受训人员学习方法和 分析实践，以发展自己的独立研究路线。最后，通过开发一个 个人发展计划，以及来自项目教职员工的持续反馈，学员建立具体和 可衡量的研究和专业目标，以及在两年内实现这些目标的计划。 培训计划有三个具体目标：1.为博士后学员提供知识基础 和研究方法，以产生关于社会情感、认知和交际的新知识，以及 IDD的家族成员。2.提供广泛的培训，让学员了解各种理论 视角、方法论方法、实质性领域、发展阶段和翻译 科学视角。3.为学员提供坚实的研究道德和专业基础 发展需要启动自己的独立事业，开展对IDD的研究。支持 这一计划将确保下一代科学家有能力推进IDD和 通过各种理论观点、方法论方法、实质性领域、 发展阶段，以及转化科学/公共卫生的观点。

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT This program has provided interdisciplinary postdoctoral training in research on intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) since 1995, with an emphasis on social-affective, cognitive and communicative, and family processes. We have enrolled and “graduated” 43 postdoctoral trainees and have 3 postdoctoral trainees currently in the program. Of our 43 graduated trainees, 32 obtained faculty positions at universities across the U.S. and nearly all others have obtained research-intensive positions in the field. The training program is housed at the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Waisman Center, and is fully integrated into the multidisciplinary and translational center training activities including through their NICHD-funded Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Research Center (IDDRC), over 90 NIH research grants by faculty investigators, and a thriving clinical program serving 2900 patients/yr. The overall goal of the training program is to provide interdisciplinary biobehavioral and translational research training to foster the next generation of IDD researchers. Our program is designed to provide trainees with a broad foundation of knowledge on IDD (e.g., prevalence, etiology, and presentation), the impact of race/ethnicity, cultural, and socio-economic status on issues pertaining to IDD, research ethics, how to conduct rigorous and replicable science, and professional development related to obtaining research funding and competencies needed in leadership positions. In addition, through intensive research mentorship by program faculty, our trainees learn the methodological and analytic practices to develop their own independent lines of research. Finally, through the development of an individual development plan, and ongoing feedback from program faculty, trainees establish specific and measurable research and professional goals and a plan for achieving these goals during the two-years. The training program has three Specific Aims: 1. To provide postdoctoral trainees with the knowledge base and research methods to generate new knowledge about social-affective, cognitive and communicative, and family components of IDD. 2. To provide broad training in which we expose trainees to various theoretical perspectives, methodological approaches, substantive areas, developmental periods, and a translational science perspective. 3. To provide trainees with a solid foundation in research ethics and professional development necessary to launch their own independent careers carrying out research on IDD. Support for this program will ensure that a next generation of scientists is equipped to advance research on IDD and associated conditions through various theoretical perspectives, methodological approaches, substantive areas, developmental periods, and a translational science/public health perspective.
