DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This revised proposal for a new Institutional National Research Service Award (T32) is designed to provide interdisciplinary research training to predoctoral and postdoctoral level young investigators in the broad area of child mental health treatment research. Trainees will identify specific areas of mental illness and chose research strategies that advance such research at a variety of levels-treatment mechanisms, efficacy study methodology, and applications. General goals for the trainees will be to obtain a broad background in current issues in child mental health treatment research; appreciate relevant basic science models and approaches; develop expertise in a scientific method for application to studies of child treatment; complete significant independent research in a designated area of research; and develop skills necessary for transitioning into an independent investigator. This program will form a nexus for training in issues pertaining to treatment of developmental psychopathologies which currently does not exist in the region. Research training will occur at the translational intersection of disorder-specific areas-child anxiety, ADHD and disruptive disorders, autism spectrum disorders, mood disorders and suicide, and neuropsychiatric disorders-with examination of levels of treatment, such as mechanisms or biomarkers of treatment, efficacy study methods, or application of treatment research. The core training experience will occur within the trainee's own research and in their close interaction with a preceptor. In addition, participation in core didactic coursework and supplementary coursework and experiences will provide broad and specific knowledge in research approaches. The combination of trainees focusing on basic and applied research will broaden research perspectives and prepare trainees for work in collaborative research projects. The proposed plan consists of training 5 postdoctoral students with medical or doctoral degrees and 2 predoctoral students. Postdoctoral trainees will possess clinical training in a discipline relevant to child mental health treatment, or plan to complete such training following the conclusion of the research training period. Predoctoral students will be drawn from Departments of Psychology, Education, Neuroscience, or Nursing at UCLA. The program will benefit from the breadth of active treatment research at UCLA and from the supplemental cross-disciplinary training available from a wide variety of departments, programs, research units, and other training activities.

描述（由申请人提供）：这一新的机构国家研究服务奖（T32）的修订提案旨在为儿童心理健康治疗研究广泛领域的博士前和博士后水平的年轻研究人员提供跨学科研究培训。学员将识别精神疾病的特定领域，并选择在各个层面推进此类研究的研究策略——治疗机制、功效研究方法和应用。学员的总体目标是获得儿童心理健康治疗研究当前问题的广泛背景；欣赏相关的基础科学模型和方法；发展科学方法方面的专业知识，应用于儿童治疗研究；在指定研究领域完成重要的独立研究；并发展成为独立调查员所需的技能。该计划将形成与发展性精神病理学治疗相关问题的培训联系，而该地区目前尚不存在这种情况。研究培训将在特定疾病领域（儿童焦虑症、多动症和破坏性障碍、自闭症谱系障碍、情绪障碍和自杀以及神经精神障碍）的转化交叉点进行，并检查治疗水平，例如治疗机制或生物标志物，功效研究方法，或治疗研究的应用。核心培训经验将发生在受训者自己的研究以及与导师的密切互动中。此外，参与核心教学课程和补充课程和经验将提供研究方法方面广泛而具体的知识。注重基础研究和应用研究的学员相结合，将拓宽研究视角，为学员从事合作研究项目做好准备。 拟培养具有医学或博士学位的博士后5名，2名 博士前学生。博士后培训生将接受儿童心理健康治疗相关学科的临床培训，或计划在研究培训期结束后完成此类培训。博士前学生将来自加州大学洛杉矶分校的心理学系、教育系、神经科学系或护理系。该计划将受益于加州大学洛杉矶分校广泛的积极治疗研究以及来自各个部门、项目、研究单位和其他培训活动的补充跨学科培训。
