 DESCRIPTION: The proposed training program will expand and reposition our highly successful pre- and postdoctoral training program in mental health services research with an emphasis on vulnerable populations, and on those receiving services at the intersection between mental health and human (social) services systems. Our current training program, the only one of its kind in a school of social work, addresses the critical need within the social work profession for scholars trained to investigate mental health challenges confronted by clients of social workers on a daily basis. In this renewal, we have expanded the scope of training to include implementation research, have deepened and strengthened our methodological training, have developed a new program administrative structure, have greatly expanded core and affiliated faculty, have enhanced our postdoctoral program, and have implemented new evaluation strategies. Yet, we have retained what we believe are the core strengths of our program - identification of talented students, early immersion into faculty-led research, intensive preparation in grantsmanship, strong expectations of intellectual individuation and the construction of trajectories toward independence, and a close and intensive mentoring process. This program benefits from the extraordinary growth that has occurred at the Brown School in particular, and Washington University in St. Louis in general, over the past 5 years. We now have a public health program within the School, and our national prominence as a University has resulted in even greater engagement of faculty across all 7 of the University's Schools in the training of our T32 scholars. Our students are benefiting from this engagement in, efflorescence of, scholarship at our institution. Consequently, this application is the most transdisciplinary of all applications that we have submitted to the T32 program. We seek support for 2 pre-doctoral students (same as in prior years), but have requested one additional postdoctoral slot (to a total of 2 postdocs per year) in order to exploit added efficiencies that result from having a cohort of trainees, and greater training opportunities that are now manifest within our School and University. We believe that this proposal reflects the experience that we have gained in 20 years of running a T32 program, and reflects the continual learning and quality improvement that we have undertaken, as we train students for an increasingly dynamic and diverse field of inquiry in the years ahead.

 描述：拟议的培训计划将扩大和重新定位我们在心理健康服务研究方面非常成功的博士前和博士后培训计划，重点关注弱势群体以及在心理健康和人类（社会）服务系统交叉点接受服务的人。我们目前的培训计划是社会工作学院中唯一的此类培训计划，旨在解决社会工作专业中对受过培训的学者的迫切需求，以调查社会工作者客户每天面临的心理健康挑战。我们扩大了培训范围，将实施纳入其中研究，深化和加强了我们的方法培训，开发了新的项目管理结构，大大扩展了核心和附属师资，加强了我们的博士后项目，并实施了新的评估策略，但我们仍然保留了我们认为的核心内容。我们项目的优势——识别有才华的学生、早期沉浸在主导研究中、资助方面的深入准备、对知识个性化和独立轨迹建设的强烈期望，以及密切和密集的指导过程。该项目受益于非凡的指导过程。增长有过去 5 年里，特别是在布朗学院和圣路易斯华盛顿大学，我们现在在学院内开展了一项公共卫生计划，而我们作为一所大学的全国知名度也导致了教师的更大参与。在我们大学所有 7 个学院的 T32 学者培训中，我们的学生都受益于我们机构审查的奖学金的参与，该申请是我们向 T32 提交的所有申请中最具跨学科性的。程序。我们寻求对 2 名博士前学生的支持（与往年相同），但要求增加一个博士后名额（每年总共 2 名博士后），以便利用一批受训人员带来的额外效率，以及我们学校和大学现在已经提供了更多的培训机会 我们相信，该提案反映了我们在运行 T32 项目 20 年来所获得的经验，并反映了我们在培训过程中所进行的持续学习和质量改进。学生为未来几年，研究领域将日益充满活力和多样化。
