项目摘要

Project Summary: There has been a significant decline in the number of research psychiatrists and research fellowships for psychiatrists in the past two decades (Fenton et al. 2004, Pincus et al. 2005). Moreover, the number of under- represented minorities—those of minority racial and ethnic backgrounds, and those possessing disabilities— who dedicate themselves to psychiatric research has been limited. Exposure to research prior to entering residency with careful and dedicated mentorship can help overcome this limitation. Here we propose to continue a program to provide a supported, mentored research opportunity to under- represented minorities during their training in medical school. Such training (a) promotes research literacy and inclusivity for all trainees, (b) encourages future participation of clinicians as research collaborators, (c) provides experience that can foster choosing a research career, (d) expands clinical knowledge through the formulation of patient- oriented research questions, (e) attracts diverse medical students into psychiatry training, and (f) maintains and facilitates research interest among residents with and without investigative backgrounds (IOM 2003). The Physician-Scientist Training Program (PSTP) at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) Department of Psychiatry and McLean Hospital within the residency training program was developed to fill this need, and this administrative supplement directly addresses the issue of diversity of trainees. The goal of the PSTP is to prepare residents for careers as investigators in academic psychiatry by facilitating greater exposure to research activities and training during residency. Through its federally funded period, the PSTP has been successful in attracting and recruiting talented psychiatrist-scientists and has developed an effective research education program with appropriate infrastructure that has attracted clinician-scientists to careers in psychiatry and provided them both mentorship and research experience to prepare them for an independent investigator career in psychiatry and neuroscience following residency. With this supplement we will expand this opportunity to attract first year medical students from underrepresented in medicine (URM) backgrounds and introduce them to research training in psychiatry. The administrative supplement proposal will additionally allow us to (1) train 3 URM students in research literacy and methodology of clinical and translational psychiatric research through coordinated educational seminars and hands-on research mentorship and (2) include these 3 students in our community of psychiatrist-scientist trainees and mentors to expand their interests and understanding of the opportunities available for future training in psychiatry.

项目摘要：研究精神病医生和研究奖学金的数量大幅下降在过去的二十年中，精神科医生（Fenton等，2004，Pincus等，2005）。此外，低音的数量代表少数群体 - 少数种族和种族背景，以及患有疾病的人 - 致力于精神病研究的人是有限的。进入之前接触研究谨慎而专门的精神统治可以帮助克服这一限制。在这里我们建议继续一个计划，提供支持的，受过指导的研究机会，以代表不足的少数群体在医学院培训期间。这种培训（a）促进了所有人的研究素养和包容性学员，（b）鼓励临床医生作为研究合作者的未来参与，（c）提供经验可以促进选择研究职业，（d）通过患者的公式扩展临床知识 - 面向研究问题，（e）吸引潜水员的医学生参加精神病学培训，并且（f）维持并促进了具有和没有调查背景的居民的研究兴趣（IOM 2003）。马萨诸塞州综合医院（MGH）部门的医师科学家培训计划（PSTP）开发了居住培训计划中的精神病学和麦克莱恩医院，以满足这一需求，这行政补充直接解决了学员多样性的问题。 PSTP的目标是通过支持更多接触的居民作为学术精神病学的研究人员为职业做好准备居住期间的研究活动和培训。通过其联邦资助时期，PSTP一直是成功地吸引和招募有才华的精神科医生，并开发了一项有效的研究教育计划具有适当的基础设施，吸引了临床科学家从事精神病学的职业并为他们提供了精神训练和研究经验居住后精神病学和神经科学的职业。通过这种补充，我们将扩大此功能有机会吸引来自医学人数不足（URM）背景不足的医学生和向他们介绍精神病学研究培训。行政补充提案还将允许（1）培训3名URM学生的研究素养和临床和转化精神病学方法论通过协调的教育中心和动手研究心态进行研究，（2）包括这3 我们精神科医生科学家学员和导师社区中的学生，以扩大他们的兴趣和了解可以将来的精神病学培训的机会。
