DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The primary objective of this program is to train pre- and postdoctoral research scientists in integrated biobehavioral and sociocultural approaches to the study of mental health and disorder, and comorbidities of mental and physical health. The program trains scholars in development and application of theories and research in behavioral science, integrated with biological and social science, for understanding etiology, progression and treatment of mental disorders. The program consists of didactic training, intensive supervised research, and a weekly colloquia series. The three pillars of the program are: (1) a strengthened curriculum on biological systems and bases of psychopathology, (2) inclusion of training in state-of-the-art research methods and quantitative techniques, and (3) an emphasis on health disparities by ethnicity, race, culture, SES, and gender. Trainees take a set of required courses and select from electives and research opportunities to create individualized, focused programs of study. This application proposes to train 4 predoctoral fellows and 3 postdoctoral fellows for two-year appointments. Two CoDirectors together with 8 core faculty, and 27 affiliated faculty members from within and outside Psychology, provide the training. This interdisciplinary faculty is composed of outstanding junior faculty and seasoned senior faculty who have a history of collaborating in research and training and who bring a rich array of active research labs, funded projects and centers, and methodological expertise to the program to provide rigorous training in mental health research. The core faculty represent theoretical expertise on stress processes, social relationships, and emotion regulation/coping. The program offers advanced quantitative training and mentored research training in experimental research, randomized controlled intervention trials, observational/survey research methods, and methods of studying immune, neuroendocrine, cardiovascular, and neuroscience processes. Clinical populations studied include individuals with major depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, substance abuse, HIV/AIDS, cancer and other chronic diseases, and pregnancy. Faculty research projects involve all stages of the lifespan from prenatal influences to elderly populations.

描述（由申请人提供）：该计划的主要目的是培训综合生物行为和社会文化方法研究精神健康和混乱的研究以及精神和身体健康的合并症的综合研究科学家。该计划培训学者在行为科学中的理论和研究的发展和应用，与生物学和社会科学融合，以理解病因，进步和治疗精神障碍。该计划包括教学培训，深入监督研究和每周一次的校长系列。该程序的三个支柱是：（1）对生物系统和心理病理学基础的加强课程，（2）将培训纳入最先进的研究方法和定量技术，以及（3）强调族裔，种族，文化，SES和Gender对健康差异的重点。学员参加了一系列必要的课程，并从选修课和研究机会中进行选择，以创建个性化的，重点的研究计划。该申请建议培训4名托管前研究员和3名博士后研究员进行两年约会。两名Codectors以及8个核心教师，以及来自心理学内外的27名隶属教师，提供了培训。这个跨学科的教师由杰出的初级教师和经验丰富的高级教师组成，他们在研究和培训方面拥有合作的历史，并为该计划带来了一系列活跃的研究实验室，资助的项目和中心以及方法论专业知识，以提供严格的心理健康研究培训。核心教师代表了关于压力过程，社会关系和情绪调节/应对的理论专业知识。该计划在实验研究，随机对照干预试验，观察/调查研究方法以及研究免疫，神经内分泌，心血管和神经科学过程的方法中提供了高级定量培训和指导研究培训。研究的临床人群包括严重抑郁症，焦虑症，精神分裂症，滥用药物，艾滋病毒/艾滋病，癌症和其他慢性疾病以及妊娠。教师研究项目涉及从产前影响到老年人的所有阶段。
