项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this training grant is to provide U.S. biomedical scientists (MD and PhD) with the skills needed to study the genetic basis of mental illness in the American Latino population. This training program will build on several NIH funded genetics research projects on mental illnesses in Latinos being conducted at the Psychiatric Genetics Center (PGC) at the University of Texas Health Sciences Center at San Antonio (UTHSCSA). We currently have a training program in psychiatric genetics for mental health professionals from Costa Rica (funded by the NIMH and the Fogarty International Center). This grant will enable us to educate U.S. based researchers with the same extensive training program currently available to Costa Rica scientists, training will cover five main areas: 1) Characterization of psychiatric phenotypes and endophenotypes, 2) Cultural competence as applied to research in Latino populations, 3) Molecular biology methods and techniques for the mapping and identification of genes which predispose to mental illness in the Latino population, 4) Statistical analysis of collected data and 5) Ethics of psychiatric genetics research with cross-ethnic populations. This program proposes to provide training along three tracks: Track 1 consisting of 9 months of training for PGY III and IV Psychiatry Residents. Track 2 consists of 2 to 3 year clinical research fellowships for Psychiatrists and/or Psychologists (expected to have recently completed their specialty training). Track 3 will consist of 2 to 3 years of training for basic science post-doctoral trainees. At the completion of their training, students will have acquired expertise in the field of Psychiatric Genetics, in conducting ethical, effective research with Hispanic populations and in developing collaborative endeavors with researchers from the U.S. and Latin America. The principal goal of our current training grant application is to develop a cadre of investigators with the ability to design and carry out psychiatric genetic research studies in the Latino population of the United States. Specific aims of the program follow.

描述（由申请人提供）：这项培训补助金的目标是为美国生物医学科学家（MD和PHD）提供研究美国拉丁裔人口中精神疾病遗传基础所需的技能。该培训计划将基于在圣安东尼奥大学（UTHSCSA）的得克萨斯大学健康科学中心的精神遗传学中心（PGC）进行的几项NIH资助的有关拉丁裔精神疾病的遗传学研究项目。目前，我们为哥斯达黎加的精神卫生专业人员（由NIMH和Fogarty International Center资助）提供了精神遗传学培训计划。 This grant will enable us to educate U.S. based researchers with the same extensive training program currently available to Costa Rica scientists, training will cover five main areas: 1) Characterization of psychiatric phenotypes and endophenotypes, 2) Cultural competence as applied to research in Latino populations, 3) Molecular biology methods and techniques for the mapping and identification of genes which predispose to mental illness in the Latino population, 4) Statistical analysis of收集的数据和5）具有跨种族人群的精神遗传学研究伦理。该计划建议在三个轨道上提供培训：轨道1，包括9个月的PGY III和IV精神病学居民的培训。轨道2包括针对精神科医生和/或心理学家的2至3年临床研究奖学金（预计最近已经完成了他们的专业培训）。轨道3将包括2至3年的基础科学培训后的博士后学员。培训完成后，学生将获得精神遗传学领域的专业知识，在与西班牙裔人群进行道德，有效的研究以及与美国和拉丁美洲的研究人员的协作努力方面。我们目前的培训赠款申请的主要目标是开发一群研究人员，具有在美国拉丁美洲人群中设计和进行精神病遗传研究的能力。该计划的具体目标如下。
