DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overarching goal of the proposed training program is to educate and mentor the next generation of prevention scientists in children's mental health who will conduct research addressing three of the four NIMH strategic objectives for scientific research using a translational perspective. By virtue of their participation in this translational prevention science training program, it is anticipated that trainees will (1) strengthen their understanding of the genetic, neurobiological and experiential basis of mental, emotional and behavioral disorders in children and adolescents, (2) learn how to develop and test mechanism-based cognitive, affective, and behavioral interventions that seek to optimize outcomes via innovative intervention strategies, (3) incorporate culturally sensitive needs and preferences into the design of personalized prevention programs, taking into account individual and cultural factors (e.g., acculturation, language preference, different child- rearing practices, mental health stigma) and larger systemic barriers to care (e.g., access to services), and (4) develop communication and collaboration skills that facilitate community-partnered research collaboration. The proposed training program will be offered by a transdisciplinary (TD) consortium of scientists affiliated with three academic research sectors at the University of Minnesota, as well as a network of community practice partners representing child-serving systems of care in children's mental health in the greater Twin Cities area. The proposal seeks support for four pre-doctoral trainees for three-year terms. Trainees will enter the training grant as 2nd year Ph.D. students to maximize the potential for TD training by beginning relatively early in their research careers before their viewpoint becomes too narrowed by training in their major field. The proposed pre-doctoral training experience features TD collaboration oriented around three core areas: prevention science (PS Core), neurobehavioral development (NBD Core), and community intervention and implementation (CI/I Core). The PS Core will provide each student with coursework and mentored training in (a) prevention research concepts and methods, (b) epidemiology of child and adolescent mental health problems, (c) development, risk, and resilience perspectives, and (d) cross-cultural issues in prevention research. The NBD Core will provide each student with opportunities for specialized formal course work, seminars and colloquia and a research apprenticeship in a translational science laboratory. In the CI/I Core, each student will participate in a mixed methods interdisciplinary group and be placed in a community practice care setting matched to a children's mental health problem relevant to his/her chosen area of scientific inquiry. Within this setting trainees will collaborate with community practitioners in the design, implementation, and evaluation of a research study emanating from their translational-based apprenticeship.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的培训计划的总体目标是教育和指导下一代的预防科学家在儿童心理健康方面，他们将使用转化观点进行研究，以解决科学研究的四个NIMH战略目标中的三个。由于他们参与这一点 翻译预防科学培训计划，预计受训者将（1）加强对儿童和青少年心理，情感和行为障碍的遗传，神经生物学和体验基础的理解，（2）学习如何发展和测试基于基于机制的认知，情感和行为的干预措施，以实现Inneov Intervity Interive Interive Interiative Interiations（3），（3）个性化的预防计划，考虑到个人和文化因素（例如，适应，语言偏好，不同的子女习惯， 心理健康的污名）和更大的系统性护理障碍（例如，获得服务），以及（4）发展促进社区合作研究合作的沟通和协作技能。拟议的培训计划将由明尼苏达大学的三个学术研究领域的跨学科（TD）科学家联盟以及代表大双胞胎城市儿童心理健康的儿童护理系统的社区实践伙伴网络提供。 该提案寻求支持四名博士前学员的支持三年。学员将进入培训补助金 作为第二年博士学生通过在研究生涯的早期开始，从他们的主要领域的训练就过于狭窄，从而最大程度地提高了TD培训的潜力。拟议的博士前培训经验的特征是TD协作以三个核心领域为导向：预防科学（PS Core），Neurobehavioral Development（NBD Core）以及社区干预和实施（CI/I Core）。 PS核心将为每个学生提供（a）预防研究概念和方法的指导培训，（b）儿童和青少年心理健康问题的流行病学，（c）发展，风险和弹性观点以及（d）预防研究中的跨文化问题。 NBD核心将为每个学生提供专业的正式课程工作，研讨会和教区的机会，以及转化科学实验室的研究学徒制。在CI/I核心中，每个学生将参加混合方法跨学科小组，并将其置于与儿童心理健康问题相匹配的社区实践护理环境中，与他/她选择的科学探究领域有关。在此环境中，受训者将与社区从业人员合作，在设计，实施和评估其基于翻译学徒的研究的研究，实施和评估中。
