DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is an application to renew a five-year Institutional Postdoctoral Training Program in Molecular Approaches to Mental Illness under the auspices of the Center for Neurobiology and Psychiatry, a unit of UCSF?s Department of Psychiatry. Its main goal is to train investigators to use cellular and molecular techniques to solve psychiatric problems. Recent advances in genetics, molecular biology and neuroscience have stimulated research into the biological basis of psychiatric disorders. Because psychiatry has not traditionally emphasized molecular sciences, and few basic scientists have been interested in addressing complex psychiatric problems, there is a scarcity of investigators both willing and able to apply these approaches to the understanding and treatment of psychiatric disorders. The program proposed in this application will train three types of Fellows: psychiatrists with MD/PhD degrees; psychiatrists with MD degrees; and non-psychiatrists with an interest in psychiatric research (with PhD or MD/PhD degrees). All Fellows will be provided with a program consisting of a three-year full-time laboratory experience supervised by an active scientist, a core seminar series, and appropriate formal course work. Most fellows will be funded by this grant for only one year of training experience, with the other two years provided by other sources, mainly individual fellowships. The program will be directed by an Executive Committee composed of the Core Faculty (Drs. Barondes, von Zastrow, Doupe, Rubenstein, Tecott). There are also 16 affiliated research mentors who have taken or will take trainees. All core faculty have an MD or combined MD/PhD degree and are all fully trained in clinical psychiatry. The training program should provide fellows with the requisite skills to contribute, as independent investigators, to the solution of clinical problems in psychiatry, using cellular and molecular approaches.

描述（由申请人提供）：这是续订a的申请 分子方法的五年机构博士后培训计划 在神经生物学中心和 精神病学，UCSF的精神病学系。它的主要目标是 火车研究人员使用细胞和分子技术来解决 精神病问题。遗传学，分子生物学和 神经科学刺激了精神病生物学基础的研究 疾病。因为精神病学传统上没有强调分子 科学，很少有基础科学家对解决复杂问题感兴趣 精神病问题，调查人员愿意和 能够将这些方法应用于理解和治疗 精神疾病。本申请中提出的计划将培训 三种类型的研究员：具有MD/PHD学位的精神科医生；精神科医生 MD学位；和对精神病研究感兴趣的非精神科医生 （具有博士学位或MD/PHD度）。所有研究员都将提供一个计划 由三年的全日制实验室经验组成 活跃的科学家，核心研讨会系列和适当的正式课程工作。 大多数研究员将仅由这笔赠款资助一年的培训 经验，其他两年来由其他来源提供的经验，主要是 个人奖学金。该计划将由执行委员会指导 由核心教师组成（Barondes博士，Von Zastrow，Doupe，Rubenstein， Tecott）。也有16位隶属的研究导师，他们已经服用或 带学员。所有核心教师均具有MD或合并的MD/PHD学位，并且 所有人都接受了临床精神病学的培训。培训计划应提供 作为独立调查员的必要技能的研究员， 使用细胞和 分子方法。
