DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The primary goal of this program is to train research scientists in health psychology, specifically in the development and application of basic theories and research in psychology to issues of physical and mental health and their interrelationship. Our program for predoctoral students and postdoctoral fellows includes coursework and intensive supervised research in laboratory, clinical, and community settings. Our program has strong expertise in a number of important biobehavioral processes relevant to mental health and physical illness including stress processes, ethnic disparities, co morbidities across the lifespan, behavioral change and community intervention methods, the study of gender and women's health, and behavioral health. These areas of concentration in the program are supplemented by further expertise among the faculty in human and animal models of specific mental disorders and physical diseases. For the proposed period of renewed funding, the faculty list has been updated and expanded, and now includes 44 individuals divided into three groups: (1) 7 core faculty members, (2) 16 affiliated faculty in Psychology, and (3) 21 affiliated faculty in other departments and schools. This group brings a wide range of expertise including both human and animal models of many specific diseases and disorders, and the study of human processes across the lifespan. Our biobehavioral training has been strengthened in psychoneuroimmunology and we have added expertise in social/behavioral neuroscience. Predoctoral trainees enter our program either in their first year of graduate training or after completion of the first year or two of coursework. Postdoctoral trainees usually enter the program immediately after completing an APA accredited PhD program in any area of Psychology. During two-year appointments, trainees are required to take two courses and two electives and attend a lecture series. Structured laboratory experiences and strong methodological and statistical training are also included. In addition, training involves intensive research throughout the two years via specific research projects initiated by trainees independently but closely supervised by teams of the faculty. Training takes place in Franz Hall that houses the Department of Psychology, and in the facilities of the affiliated faculty outside of our department. The training program has offices, research space, and a computer lab in close proximity on one floor. Our long history, the developments during the most recent period of training, and steps planned for the next 5-year period of funding put our program in the vanguard in terms of continuing to provide research training broadly in biobehavioral issues in physical and mental health to developing research scientists.

描述（申请人提供）：该计划的主要目标是培训健康心理学的研究科学家，特别是在心理学和心理学的基本理论和研究中的发展和应用到身心健康及其相互关系的问题上。我们针对专业学生和博士后研究员的计划包括课程和实验室，临床和社区环境的深入监督研究。我们的计划在许多与心理健康和身体疾病有关的重要生物行为过程中具有强大的专业知识，包括压力过程，种族差异，整个寿命的综合性，行为变化和社区干预方法，性别和妇女健康的研究以及行为健康。该计划中的这些集中度领域得到了特定精神疾病和身体疾病的人类和动物模型中教师之间的进一步专业知识。 在拟议的续签资金期间，教师名单已进行了更新和扩展，现在包括44个分为三组的人：（1）7个核心教师，（2）16个心理学的隶属教师，（3）21位其他部门和学校的隶属教师。该小组带来了广泛的专业知识，包括许多特定疾病和疾病的人类和动物模型，以及整个生命周期中人类过程的研究。 我们的生物行为培训在心理肌免疫学方面得到了加强，我们在社会/行为神经科学方面增加了专业知识。托管前学员在研究生培训的第一年或完成课程的第一年或完成课程后进入我们的计划。博士后学员通常在任何心理学领域完成APA认可的博士学位计划后立即进入该计划。在两年的约会期间，学员必须参加两门课程和两个选修课，并参加演讲系列。还包括结构化实验室经验以及强大的方法论和统计培训。此外，培训在两年中涉及由学员独立但密切受到教师团队密切监督的特定研究项目的深入研究。培训在弗朗兹大厅（Franz Hall）举行了心理学系，并在我们系以外的隶属教师的设施中进行。该培训计划在一楼附近有办公室，研究空间和计算机实验室。 我们的悠久历史，最近的培训期间的发展以及计划在接下来的5年资金期间计划的步骤，使我们的计划进入了先锋，以继续为发展研究科学家提供研究培训，从而在身心健康中广泛提供研究培训。
