项目摘要(摘要) 二十多年来，越来越多的临床科学家 追求心理健康和高流失率的职业生涯 菲尔德已经威胁到我们国家利用生物医学和 将行为科学转化为改善公共健康的措施。此次R25更新的目标是 申请精神病学职业发展研究所(CDI)将继续 为客户提供必要技能、支持和指导网络的计划 国家遴选的、多元化的、有前途的早期心理健康科学家群体 帮助他们开始并保持成功的研究事业。我们到目前为止的结果表明 学员对项目非常满意，事业有了起色 技能，并在学术生涯中取得了成功。 该计划是针对处于关键转折点的科学家 完成研究培训和教员任职的最初几年。美国疾病预防控制中心 在多层次纵向计划中提供必要的技能和指导， 重点关注职业生涯早期心理健康科学家的发展需求，包括 实用的职业技能；长期、多层次的指导；支持面对个人和 专业挑战；专业社区的成员资格；以及协作、 多学科的科学研究方法。有针对性的职业技能包括谈判； 研究伦理；领导；促进公平、多样性和包容性；科学 项目管理、科学交流和计算方法。 这次迭代的改进包括更具互动性的格式、增强的指导、 有针对性的网络研讨会，强调领导力和方案规划。这个 该计划包括四个阶段，每个年度班18-22名研究员：(1)自我 评估和目标设定；(2)为期4天的面对面研讨会；(3)2年的指导， 培训网络研讨会和社区建设；以及(4)年度职业和计划 评估。项目主任、顾问委员会和网站提供了全面的、 该计划的集中基础。来自全国各地的CDI校友担任 教职员工。拟议的纵向计划将增加科学家的数量 致力于心理健康方面的研究事业，并为改善 预防和治疗精神疾病的进展。

Project Summary (Abstract) For over two decades, the combination of a declining number of clinical scientists who pursue careers in mental health and a high rate of attrition among those who enter the field has threatened our nation’s ability to leverage advances in biomedical and behavioral sciences into improvements in public health. The goal of this R25 renewal application for the Career Development Institute for Psychiatry (CDI) is to continue a program that provides the necessary skills, support, and mentoring network to a nationally selected, diverse group of promising early-career mental health scientists to help them launch and maintain successful research careers. Our results to date indicate that fellows are very satisfied with the program, have experienced improvement in career skills, and have successfully proceeded in academic careers. The program is geared toward scientists at the critical transition point between the completion of research training and the initial years of faculty appointment. The CDI provides the necessary skills and mentoring in a multi-tiered longitudinal program, with a focus on the developmental needs of early-career mental health scientists, including practical career skills; long-term, multilevel mentoring; support for facing personal and professional challenges; membership in a professional community; and a collaborative, multi-disciplinary approach to science. Targeted career skills include negotiation; research ethics; leadership; promotion of equity, diversity, and inclusion; scientific project management; science communication; and computational approaches. Improvements for this iteration include more interactive formats, enhanced mentoring, targeted webinars, and emphasis on leadership and programmatic planning. The program encompasses four phases for each annual class of 18-22 fellows: (1) self- assessment and goal setting; (2) 4-day in-person workshop; (3) 2 years of mentoring, training webinars, and community building; and (4) annual career and program evaluations. The program directors, advisory board, and website provide a thorough, centralized foundation for the program. CDI alumni from across the country serve as faculty. The proposed longitudinal program will increase the number of scientists committed to research careers in mental health and provide a foundation for improved progress toward preventing and treating mental illness.
