项目摘要 这是一份申请延长老年精神卫生T32奖学金计划5年的申请书 加州大学圣地亚哥分校(UCSD)。随着人口老龄化，对独立调查人员的需求 在老年精神健康方面将继续增加。在过去的15年里，我们培训了71名T32学员 其中博士后40人，博士后14人，医药学学生17人。这款T32 该计划自1994年以来一直得到资助，是加州大学圣地亚哥分校分部内更大的研究培训计划的一部分 老年精神病学。它还隶属于加州大学圣地亚哥分校健康老龄化中心、萨姆和罗斯·斯坦研究所 和加州大学圣迭戈分校的临床和翻译科学奖(CTSA)。在过去的5年里， 我们的博士后和博士后实习生中68%是女性，37%是有色人种，16% 来自代表不足的少数民族(URM)。所有人都至少完成了两年的 奖学金培训或仍在培训中，所有人都在继续进行全日制学术活动。所有实习生均具有 在该项目中至少一年发表了多篇同行评议的论文。我们的博士后实习生 在过去5年中获得了5个K奖或VA职业发展奖，以前的研究员获得过 资金来自美国国立卫生研究院、弗吉尼亚州、国防部，以及各种基金会的支持。我们把少校 重视职业发展，对学员和导师都是如此。奖学金计划包括个人 指导和团队科学的体验式培训，辅以教学活动。一个个性化的 个人发展计划(IDP)是在奖学金课程的早期与每个受训人员一起制定的。写作和 提高统计技能，指导平衡个人和职业义务，以及接触 跨学科的共同导师和合作者是我们项目的特点。这份续签申请建议 支持5名博士后研究员(最好是博士、医学博士/医学博士和药学博士的组合)，2名博士后 临床心理学或神经科学专业的学生，每年为药学专业的学生安排两个暑期研究时段。 在接下来的5年里，我们将加强对老龄化和心理健康方面的技术和工程的关注， 包括移动医疗和数据科学技术，以改进评估、治疗和服务交付 适用于患有精神疾病的老年人。我们还将继续强调翻译和基本 神经科学，阳性精神病学，内科和药剂师科学家，受训人员的多样性，以及 训练。我们已经制定了一个强有力的培训过程评估计划，包括短期、 中期和长期成果，包括研究员和专业人员的研究效率 导师的晋升。

Project Summary This is an application for a 5-year renewal of the T32 Fellowship Program in Geriatric Mental Health at the University of California San Diego (UCSD). As the population ages, the demand for independent investigators in geriatric mental health will continue to increase. Over the last 15 years, we have trained 71 T32 trainees including 40 postdoctoral Fellows, 14 predoctoral Fellows, and 17 medical and pharmacy students. This T32 program, continuously funded since 1994, is part of a larger research training program within UCSD’s Division of Geriatric Psychiatry. It is also affiliated with the UCSD Center for Healthy Aging, Sam and Rose Stein Institute for Research on Aging, and UCSD’s Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA). Over the past 5 years, 68% of our predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees have been women, 37% have been people of color, and 16% have been from Under-Represented Minority (URM) ethnic groups. All have completed at least two years of Fellowship training or are still in training, and all are continuing in full-time academic activities. All trainees with at least one year in the program have published multiple peer-reviewed papers. Our postdoctoral trainees have obtained 5 K awards or VA Career Development Awards in the past 5 years, and previous Fellows have obtained funding from NIH, VA, Department of Defense, as well as support from various foundations. We place major emphasis on career development, both for mentees and mentors. The Fellowship program includes individual mentoring along with experiential training in team science, complemented by didactic activities. A personalized Individual Development Plan (IDP) is created with each trainee early in the course of the Fellowship. Writing and statistical skills enhancement, guidance on balancing personal and professional obligations, and exposure to cross-disciplinary co-mentors and collaborators characterize our program. This renewal application proposes to support 5 postdoctoral Fellows (optimally, a combination of PhDs, MDs/MD-PhDs, and PharmDs), 2 predoctoral students (in clinical psychology or neuroscience), and 2 summer research slots for pharmacy students annually. Over the next 5 years, we will increase our focus on technology and engineering in aging and mental health, including mobile health and data science technologies to improve assessment, treatment, and service delivery for older adults with psychiatric illnesses. We will also continue to emphasize translational and basic neuroscience, positive psychiatry, physician and pharmacist scientists, diversity of trainees, and research on training. We have developed a strong plan for evaluation of the training process including short-term, intermediate-term, and long-term outcomes, including research productivity for Fellows and professional advancement for mentors.
