Research Fellowship in Geriatric Mood Disorders |
|
Fellowship Description: |
The program focuses on geriatric mood disorders as model entities for training in geriatric research. Since mood disorders interact with a variety of biological, behavioral and psychosocial factors, the program provides rich opportunities for trainees to study complex research methodology. The typical duration of training will be 2 years although 1 or 3 year programs may be offered to trainees with special needs. The program utilizes a productive research faculty, the diverse patient population of the Cornell Institute for Geriatric Psychiatry, the training and research structures of the Clinical Research Center for Geriatric Mood Disorders, and a number of collaborating laboratories. Seven training components cover: aging and personality, course of geriatric mood disorders, chronobiology and aging, psychosocial interventions, neuroimaging, geriatric psychoendocrinology, and geriatric clinical psychopharmacology. Each trainee focuses on one of these components for most of his/her training but the remaining components are available for additional experience. |

Fellowship Title: |
Research Training in Clinical and Public Health/Preventive Psychiatry |
|
Fellowship Description: |
This Institutional National Research Service Award (T32), begun in 1988, now is based in the Department of Psychiatry’s Institute of Psychiatric and Behavioral Sciences. It focuses on research that emphasizes the translation of findings from efficacy and effectiveness studies to novel approaches to be tested in complex (and confounded) ‘real world’ settings. The latter include both standard clinical venues (primary care offices; emergency, ambulatory, and inpatient psychiatry units) and non-traditional community-based sites, such as schools, courts, and collaboratively developed research arenas. Our overall goal is two fold: 1) the recruitment and research training of psychiatrists and other doctoral trained scientists as future clinician-investigators, and 2) the preparation of all trainees to work in the context of vibrant, interdisciplinary research teams. We teach trainees the fundamental aspects of independent, investigator-initiated clinical research, based largely in psychopathology, psychology, and related areas of public health/preventive medicine, with an emphasis on risk factor research, the development of novel interventions, and clinical trials' methodology. There is a special focus on “public health and preventive psychiatry.” Core areas of skill development include psychopathology, research design and methods for studies with psychiatric patient populations, biostatistics, grant writing and writing for publication, and the ethics of research. There are ample opportunities to reach out to novel community-based settings, and mentoring in the development of non-traditional collaborative ventures. Presently there are 12 senior faculty mentors participating in this T32. We have recruited highly qualified candidates, and our trainees have gone on to successful academic careers as demonstrated through their publications, their successfully funded grant applications, and their promotions. Our training is based on the establishment of a committed mentor-trainee relationship, and the formulation of individually tailored programs that involve fellows in current research and support the development of their own protocols. Trainees formulate with their mentors developmental programs based upon careful appraisal of their developmental needs in each of the core skill areas, in addition to the content areas tied to their research. Fellows are funded for 2-3 year periods, most often for three years. Formal didactic courses are selected to meet the specific needs of each trainee, and there are a wide array of seminars and research meetings to complement the informal interactions that abound in our centers and laboratories. |

Brown University Dementia Research Training Program |
|
Fellowship Description: |
This NIA-funded T32 research training program prepares post-residency psychiatrists and neurologists, postdoctoral psychologists, and neuroscientists to conduct independent research in the area of dementia. The Brown DRF is unique in that participating faculty represent the key disciplines involved in basic and clinical neuroscience research related to dementia. Brown’s three dementia clinics at affiliated hospitals evaluate over 1000 new patients per year and share a common database for recruitment of research subjects. These dementia clinics serve as sites for research training and as sources of participants for research grant proposals. The program provides fellows with background knowledge in the basic and applied aspect of dementia research; expertise in research methodology and ethical conduct of research; and research experience through participation in ongoing grant-funded research and their own independent studies. Fellows are mentored in the production of their own grant proposals via close collaboration with both clinical and basic science mentors. Their proposals are reviewed in a grant writing seminar and intramural review process. On completion of the fellowship, trainees will be fully prepared to advance to a faculty position at a university or medical school. They will have acquired the skills necessary to compete for external funding and begin an independently-funded research career in dementia and related disorders. |
