DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In order to meet the nation's growing need for researchers in clinical psychiatry, translational neuroscience, and interventions/mental health services research, we propose in this competing renewal of R25 MH60473-06 to continue our Junior Faculty Scholars (JFS) program, designed to assist newly appointed assistant professors earn K23 and K01 awards. Of 22 scholar participants in the program, 16 have submitted K awards, 15 have been reviewed to date, and 13 (86.7%) have been funded (6 on the first submission, 7 on the second submission); this compares with an NIMH-wide success rate of 36% over the past five years. The JFS program encompasses a two-year period of 25% salary support, a weekly research survival skills practicum, mentoring by a senior mental health researcher, availability of seed money support, and access to data management and biostatistical support. Scholars also participate in workshops designed to enhance knowledge of biostatistics, psychiatric genetics, neuroimaging, and mental health interventions and services research. In order to correct another remediable "leak" from the pipeline of new mental health researchers, we also propose to broaden the scope of the current JFS program to assist further development of scholars who have obtained K awards toward two additional career-development objectives: (1) R01 support; and (2) enhanced mentoring skills. We will help Scholars and their Mentors develop intensive long-term mentoring plans to realize these two developmental objectives, thereby enlarging a dedicated cadre of mentors in psychiatric research. At the same time we are committed to maintaining our efforts to help minority researchers (primarily African American) launch and maintain their careers in mental health research, an objective we will pursue in collaboration with the University's new EXPORT Center. Our Research Education Evaluation plan will track the success of Scholars in competing for research career development (K01 or K23) and subsequent R01 awards (Specific Aim 1) and mid-career independent scientist awards (K02 or K24) (Specific Aim 2); as well as the success of under-represented minority Scholars in garnering career-development and other competitive research support (Specific Aim 3).

描述（由申请人提供）：为了满足国家对临床精神病学、转化神经科学和干预/心理健康服务研究研究人员日益增长的需求，我们建议在 R25 MH60473-06 的竞争更新中继续我们的初级教师学者（ JFS）计划，旨在帮助新任命的助理教授获得 K23 和 K01 奖项。参与该项目的 22 名学者中，16 名已提交 K 奖，目前已审核 15 名，13 名（86.7%）已获得资助（第一次提交 6 名，第二次提交 7 名）；相比之下，过去 5 年 NIMH 的成功率为 36%。 JFS 计划包括为期两年的 25% 工资支持、每周一次的研究生存技能实习、高级心理健康研究员的指导、种子资金支持以及数据管理和生物统计支持。学者们还参加旨在增强生物统计学、精神遗传学、神经影像学以及心理健康干预和服务研究知识的研讨会。 为了纠正新心理健康研究人员队伍中的另一个可补救的“漏洞”，我们还建议扩大当前 JFS 计划的范围，以帮助获得 K 奖的学者进一步发展，以实现另外两个职业发展目标：（ 1）R01支持； (2) 增强指导技能。我们将帮助学者及其导师制定密集的长期指导计划，以实现这两个发展目标，从而扩大精神病学研究领域的专门导师队伍。与此同时，我们致力于继续努力帮助少数族裔研究人员（主要是非裔美国人）启动和维持他们在心理健康研究方面的职业生涯，这是我们将与大学新的出口中心合作实现的目标。 我们的研究教育评估计划将跟踪学者在竞争研究职业发展（K01或K23）以及随后的R01奖项（具体目标1）和职业中期独立科学家奖项（K02或K24）（具体目标2）方面的成功；以及代表性不足的少数族裔学者在获得职业发展和其他竞争性研究支持方面的成功（具体目标 3）。
