DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is a competing renewal application of T15 HL71805, Pittsburgh Mind-Body Summer Institutes, to partially support the Pittsburgh Mind-Body Center (PMBC-II) annual Summer Institutes. PMBC-I was established in 2000 to conduct research and training on mind-body relationships in the context of understanding multiple physical illnesses and will continue its educational mission under a R24 infrastructure support mechanism through 2009 (NIH RFA #06-03-004). One of the key specific aims of PMBC-I and II is to conduct annually a Summer Institute on mind-body interactions and health, with alternate years concentrating on behavioral antecedents of disease and disability, and on psychosocial interventions for physical illness. PMBC faculty have conducted 5 Summer Institutes and have had increasing success in recruiting and training talented young scientists or more senior scientists new to mind-body sciences. Evaluations of the Summer Institute encourage us to continue to provide this unique training experience, unavailable elsewhere. The specific goals of the Summer Institutes are to provide information about basic pathways linking psychological, behavioral, and biological connections between environmental factors and physical illness; to evaluate the efficacy and importance of state-of-the-art behavioral interventions in preventing disease and disability; and to enhance research skills, including problem solving, design of studies, and communication of ideas. The overall goal of the Summer Institutes is to foster the development of a cadre of new investigators in mind-body science and health. We anticipate that 30 scientists will attend the Summer Institute each year, with 20 from outside Western Pennsylvania.

描述（由申请人提供）： 该申请是匹兹堡思维夏季学院T15 HL71805的竞争续约应用程序，以部分支持匹兹堡心态中心（PMBC-II）年度夏季学院。 PMBC-I成立于2000年，旨在在理解多种身体疾病的背景下进行思维关系的研究和培训，并将在2009年的R24基础设施支持机制下继续其教育任务（NIH RFA＃06-03-004）。 PMBC-I和II的主要特定目的之一是每年进行一次夏季研究所，以进行思维体相互作用和健康，替代年份集中于疾病和残疾的行为前因，以及针对身体疾病的社会心理干预措施。 PMBC的教职员工曾进行了5家夏季研究所，并在招募和培训有才华的年轻科学家或更多的高级科学家方面取得了越来越多的成功。对夏季研究所的评估鼓励我们继续在其他地方提供这种独特的培训经验。夏季研究所的具体目标是提供有关联系环境因素与身体疾病之间的心理，行为和生物学联系的基本途径的信息；评估最先进的行为干预措施在预防疾病和残疾方面的功效和重要性；并提高研究技能，包括解决问题，研究设计和思想交流。夏季研究所的总体目标是培养思维科学与健康的新研究人员的发展。我们预计，每年有30位科学家将参加夏季学院，其中20位来自宾夕法尼亚州西部。
