DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Understanding the relationship between psychopathology and basic psychological and biological processes is crucial to curing significant mental health problems. We propose a program training clinical psychologists in basic science related to psychopathology and basic scientists in the nature of psychopathology. Focusing on how neuroendocrinolqgy and cognition relate to the development and expression of psychopathology, 9 predoctoral fellows will receive a coordinated three year training program starting in their 3rd year of graduate study. Selected from a pool of over 50 potential candidates already enrolled in four participating graduate programs, the fellows will be a unique cohort of students interested in bridging basic and applied science to understand psychopathology. The 24 participating faculty come from the Department of Psychology of Emory College, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, and the Yerkes National Primate Research Center. The training program involves four graduate programs: Clinical Psychology, Cognition and Development, Neuroscience and Animal Behavior, and the Neuroscience Training Program of the Graduate Division of Biological and Biomedical Sciences. The faculty's expertise 'covers psychopathologies from autism to schizophrenia and provides a unique training environment focusing on both human and nonhuman primates, as well as other animal models. Trainees have a mentor and a co-mentor from different graduate programs, fostering collaboration and increasing training diversity. Trainees will have completed the basic course work required by their graduate programs prior to program entry allowing focus on the training program offered by this fellowship. Trainees participate in a two-semester psychopathology sequence taught by clinical and basic science faculty exploring specific psychopathologies and relevant animal models. The first semester offers a high-level introduction to human psychopathology, assessment, methodologies, and treatment. The second semester focuses on the development of, and neuroendocrine and cognitive influences on, five psychopathologies: anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, developmental disorders, and personality disorders with consideration of relevant animal models. Trainees will acquire first hand knowledge of the nature of the psychopathology in addition to relevant basic research background. In addition to this core sequence in psychopathology, trainees take two additional courses, one in neuroscience and one in behavioral/cognitive science, developing their basic science skills in areas relevant to psychopathology. This training program will not provide clinical training, instead develops clinical researchers who are comfortable with and trained in the psychobiological systems underlying psychopathology and basic researchers who are comfortable with and trained in human psychopathology. Clinical trainees will get the opportunity to delve more deeply into the basic science underlying psychopathology while basic science trainees will come to understand the relationship between basic science and human mental illness.

描述（由申请人提供）： 了解心理病理学与基本心理和生物学过程之间的关系对于解决重大的心理健康问题至关重要。我们提出了一项计划培训与心理病理学和心理病理性质基础科学家有关的基础科学临床心理学家。为了关注神经内co和认知与心理病理学的发展和表达如何相关，9名摄取前研究员将从研究生研究的第三年开始，将获得一项协调的三年培训计划。这些研究员从已经参加了四个参与的研究生课程的50多名潜在候选人中选出，这将是一个有兴趣桥接基本和应用科学以了解精神病理学的学生。 24个参与的教师来自埃默里学院，精神病学和行为科学心理学系，以及Yerkes国家灵长类动物研究中心。该培训计划涉及四个研究生课程：临床心理学，认知和发展，神经科学和动物行为，以及生物学和生物医学科学研究生部的神经科学培训计划。该学院的专业知识涵盖了从自闭症到精神分裂症的心理病理学，并提供了一个针对人类和非人类灵长类动物以及其他动物模型的独特培训环境。学员有来自不同研究生课程的导师和一位联合学者，促进了协作并增加了培训多样性。学员将在计划进入之前完成其研究生课程所需的基本课程工作，从而重点关注该奖学金提供的培训计划。学员参加了临床和基础科学教师探索特定心理病理学和相关动物模型的两学期心理病理学序列。第一学期提供了人类心理病理学，评估，方法和治疗的高级介绍。第二学期的重点是五种心理病理学的发展，神经内分泌和认知影响：焦虑，抑郁，精神分裂症，发育障碍和人格障碍，并考虑相关动物模型。除了相关的基础研究背景外，学员还将获得有关心理病理学性质的第一手知识。除了精神病理学的核心序列外，学员还接受了另外两门课程，一门在神经科学方面，一门在行为/认知科学领域，开发了与精神病理学相关领域的基本科学技能。该培训计划将无法提供临床培训，而是开发了在心理病理学基础的心理生物学系统和对人类心理病理学舒适和培训的基础研究人员中接受和培训的临床研究人员。临床学员将有机会更深入地研究基础科学的心理病理学，而基础科学学员将了解基础科学与人类精神疾病之间的关系。
