项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The emergence of a biological revolution in psychopathology research is now strongly solidified, leaving many young Ph.D.s inadequately trained in biological concepts and methods, contributing to a void of creative young psychologists equipped to study normal and abnormal personality and psychopathological syndromes across varying levels of analysis. Most graduate programs in clinical psychology are primarily oriented toward cognitive and psychosocial approaches to behavior. Our existing training program integrates behavioral neurobiology and behavior genetics in the study of psychopathology and personality, taking advantage of the unique perspectives on emotional-behavioral systems offered by psychology. Here, we propose to continue this program for an additional five years, including continuation of the pre-doctoral part of the program (4 slots) and the newly-initiated post-doctoral part of the program (2 slots). Seven components of the training program are described: a) coursework in behavioral neurobiology, behavioral genetics, personality, and psychopathology; b) association with a designated lab for specialized training in research, with opportunities to participate in proposal development, design of studies, and grant writing activities; c) training program seminars, allowing for discussion and exchange of ideas; d) ongoing evaluation of coursework and research progress; e) lecture series composed of invited scholars and a yearend research conference featuring trainee presentations; f) for pre-doctoral trainees, involvement in practicum activities focused on neuropsychology; and g) travel to national conferences to present research findings. Relevance: There is a critical need for behavioral scientists trained in biological approaches to psychopathology, as mental disorders constitute an enormous public health burden, and biological approaches are critical to unraveling the etiology of these complex conditions.

描述（由申请人提供）：精神病理学研究中生物学革命的出现现已得到强有力的巩固，导致许多年轻的博士在生物学概念和方法方面缺乏足够的培训，导致缺乏有能力研究正常和异常人格的富有创造力的年轻心理学家和不同分析水平的精神病理学综合症。大多数临床心理学研究生课程主要面向行为的认知和心理社会方法。我们现有的培训计划将行为神经生物学和行为遗传学整合到精神病理学和人格研究中，利用心理学提供的关于情绪行为系统的独特视角。在此，我们建议将该项目再延续五年，包括继续该项目的博士前部分（4个名额）和新启动的博士后部分项目（2个名额）。描述了培训计划的七个组成部分： a) 行为神经生物学、行为遗传学、人格和精神病理学课程； b) 与指定实验室合作进行专门的研究培训，并有机会参与提案制定、研究设计和资助写作活动； c) 培训计划研讨会，允许讨论和交流想法； d) 对课程作业和研究进展进行持续评估； e) 由受邀学者组成的系列讲座和以实习生演讲为特色的年终研究会议； f) 对于博士前学员，参与以神经心理学为重点的实习活动； g) 前往国家会议展示研究成果。相关性：迫切需要接受过精神病理学生物学方法培训的行为科学家，因为精神障碍构成了巨大的公共卫生负担，而生物学方法对于阐明这些复杂病症的病因至关重要。
