Description

Abstract
Backround: nimh and the national academies of sciences, engineering, and medicine have identified a critical shortage of child and adolescent psychiatry (cap) researchers-paradoxically as most mental illnesses are recognized as having developmental origins, with impact across the lifespan. Cap physician- scientists are a critical part of the multi-disciplinary research workforce (including phds from myriad disciplines) uniquely trained to bridge the GAP between basic science and clinical translation. Cap physician-scientists are crucial to nimh achieving its strategic objectives-and vital to making substantial public health impact by developing early detection, treatment, and prevention strategies that are effective, lasting, and resilience- promoting. We seek to establish the child and adolescent psychiatry research institute (capri) a national research mentorship network (PAR-23-263) seated at the american academy of child and adolescent psychiatry (aacap)-the national home of cap physicians. Capri will address the shortage of cap physician-scientists by: (1) recruiting overlapping cohorts of 12 cap-trained/committed early career researcher "scholars"; (2) providing a 2-year mentorship program, with (a) 3-day meeting at the aacap annual meeting, (b) monthly web-based career development seminars, (c) quarterly scholar and mentor meetings, (d) home institution mentor integration; (3) shore up the cap research pipeline by (a) reaching earlier via short course for 12 pre-contemplative caps not ready for a k-award and sustaining mentorship for summer medical students, (b) enhancing retention via annual reunion & online community, and (c) reducing attrition by creating social-belonging communities for structural barriers of race, gender, ethnicity. Scholars will learn vital skills to begin and maintain a successful research career-scientific writing, communication and negotiation skills, time management, giving/receiving mentoring, project management, responsible conduct of research, and enhancing statistical knowledge and collaboration. Key innovations: (1) exclusive cap focus to build a sustainable network with common experience; (2) substantial subject- specific expertise and targeted mentor-matching; (3) home institution mentor integration; (4) evidence-proven science of mentoring practices from established R25S, center for improvement of mentored experience in research, and leaders in diversity/inclusion. Our primary outcome is scholar submission of "k" career development awards. Secondary outcomes are scholar and pre-contemplator development as academic leaders by independent grant support, publications, presentations, academic promotion, mentorship, and scientific service-and medical students entering psychiatry residencies. Capri is significant because we directly address nimh's "blueprint for change: research on child/adolescent mental health" and institute of medicine goals to bolster the cap research workforce via tiered, targeted, and sustaining mentorship.
