 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant):This post-doctoral training program, titled "Adolescent Research in Community" (ARC), aims to train a new generation of adolescent health researchers (both health professionals and trainees with doctorates) to conduct interdisciplinary, translational, community-partnered research addressing adolescent health priorities outlined in Healthy People 2020, especially disparities in health and health care. Second to infancy, adolescence is the most dynamic developmental period across the life course, involving a complex interplay of biological, relational, and social development in the transition from childhood to adulthood. Thus, increasing the number of researchers committed to understanding adolescent development in a social-ecological context, improving the health and social trajectories of adolescents, and translating research for policy and practice could have profound impact on the nation's overall health. Fellows will receive training in novel research methods in community-based settings, ethics of conducting research with vulnerable youth populations, participatory stakeholder engagement, and translating research for advocacy and policy. The ARC program will identify highly qualified applicants (three per year), with an emphasis on minority trainees, and provide them with a tailored didactic training program and mentored research experience focused on developing skills in translational, community-partnered research relevant to understanding adolescent development in social-ecological context and improving adolescent health. The University of Pittsburgh has many strengths to ensure success of this program. First, the ARC program draws on faculty with existing adolescent research collaborations among departments of Pediatrics, Psychiatry, Family Medicine, Obstetrics- Gynecology, Internal Medicine, School of Public Health, School of Nursing, School of Social Work as well as RAND. Second, the many federally-funded studies led by faculty provide a wealth of cross-cutting postdoctoral mentored research experiences in adolescent mental health, obesity, sexual and reproductive health, violence prevention, and substance use. Third, didactic opportunities provide training in innovative methods and a foundation in theories of social determinants of health, health behavior change, and developmental behavioral science. Fourth, we leverage an outstanding infrastructure for recruiting and retaining minority and disadvantaged students. Fifth, our faculty's experience in leading NIH-funded training programs will inform the ARC program. Finally, the ARC program has the institutional support, highly collaborative research environment, and committed community partners needed to train the next generation of adolescent health researchers to better understand pathways by which social contextual factors may hinder or promote adolescent health and to develop targeted interventions using theory- and evidence-driven approaches. At the University of Pittsburgh, this combination of outstanding potential fellows, unique training, and committed research mentors will maximize the likelihood of producing future leaders in adolescent health.

 描述（由适用提供）：该博士后培训计划的标题为“社区青少年研究”（ARC），旨在培训新一代的青少年健康研究人员（卫生专业人员和学员都有博士学位），以进行跨学科，翻译，翻译，社区良性的研究，以涉及健康率在健康中的青少年健康的健康优先级，尤其是健康的健康，尤其是健康的健康和医疗保健。到婴儿期，青少年是整个生命过程中最具动态的发展时期，涉及从童年到成年期过渡过程中生物学，关系和社会发展的复杂相互作用。这增加了致力于在社会生态环境中理解青少年发展的研究人员的数量，改善青少年的健康和社会轨迹，并将其转化为政策和实践，可能会对国家的整体健康产生深远的影响。研究员将在基于社区的环境中接受新的研究方法的培训，与脆弱的青年人群进行研究的道德，参与利益相关者的参与以及转化倡导和政策研究。 ARC计划将确定高素质的应用程序（每年三个），重点是少数派学员，并为他们提供量身定制的教学培训计划，并指导研究的研究经验，专注于发展与了解社会生态学领域的青少年发展和改善青少年健康相关的转化，社区合作研究的技能。匹兹堡大学有许多优势，可以确保该计划的成功。首先，ARC计划在儿科，精神病学，家庭医学，妇产科，内科，公共卫生学院，护理学院，社会工作学院，社会工作学院以及兰德之间的现有青少年研究合作借鉴了教师。其次，由教师领导的许多联邦资助的研究为青少年心理健康，肥胖，性和生殖健康，预防暴力和使用物质提供了丰富的杂交后心理健康经历。第三，教学机会提供了创新方法的培训，并为健康，健康行为改变和发展行为科学的社会决定者的基础提供了基础。第四，我们利用出色的基础设施来招募和留住少数群体和灾难学生。第五，我们教师在领先的NIH资助培训计划领导的经验将为ARC计划提供信息。最后，ARC计划具有机构的支持，高度协作的研究环境，以及训练下一代青少年健康研究人员所需的社区合作伙伴，以更好地理解社会背景因素可能会阻碍或促进青少年健康并使用理论和证据驱动的方法开发有针对性的干预措施的途径。在匹兹堡大学，这种杰出的潜在研究员，独特的培训和认真的研究导师的组合将最大程度地提高培养青少年健康未来领导者的可能性。
