This application requests five further years of support for an Institutional National Research Service Award to cover multidisciplinary training in Psychiatric, Behavioral and Statistical Genetics. We request support for three pre-doctoral and three postdoctoral students for primary training in: i) statistical, quantitative, behavioral and molecular genetics; ii) psychiatric nosology; iii) neuroimaging genetics and neurobiology; iv) clinical psychology; iv) biostatistics. In addition to specializing in one of these areas, trainees will be exposed to all others and encouraged to study at least one other with sufficient detail to broaden their scope for future career development and interdisciplinary research. Training will usually be 4 years in duration for pre-doctoral and 2-3 years for postdoctoral students. Applications are expected to continue from a wide variety of disciplines, including medicine, psychiatry, psychology, biostatistics, neuroscience, molecular genetics and biology. Trainees are housed in the Virginia Institute for Psychiatric and Behavioral Genetics at Virginia Commonwealth University, a modern custom-built facility with private offices, state-of-the-art computational facilities, integrated molecular genetics and experimental laboratories, and an associated neuroimaging facility. Major strengths of the program include: i) broad expertise of faculty in psychiatry, psychology, genetics, neuroscience and statistics; ii) highly productive research environment with well-funded faculty who are among the most highly cited researchers in the field; iii) extensive experience and excellent track record of faculty in training at this level; iv) potential for trainees to take part in active data collection and data analysis projects; v) access to large genetically informative datasets collected at VCU and elsewhere; vi) direct access to genome sequencing, experimental study and neuroimaging facilities; vii) pairing with clinical psychiatrist to attend rounds; and viii) face-to-face instruction in responsible conduct of research from a leading author and instructor in this field.
