Short Courses for Mental Health Research Education
Briefly

Short Courses for Mental Health Research Education
"This is a re-issue of a long-standing R25 program announcement that aims to support educational activities that complement and/or enhance the training of a workforce to meet the nation's biomedical, behavioral, and clinical research needs. To address this goal, this concept is specifically focused on courses for skills development. Courses are expected to facilitate the development of a cadre of investigators with the requisite scientific research skills to advance the mission of NIMH."
"Mental health research has seen extraordinary changes with the rapid development of new andincreasingly complex tools, techniques, and approaches. These developments have the potential tocontinue or increase in pace over the coming years, as the next generation of tools, technologies, andresources are being developed via programs like the Brain Research through Advancing InnovativeNeurotechnologies® (BRAIN) Initiative. There is thus a growing need for individuals to learn cutting-edgeresearch methods and incorporate them in their research."
An R25 program supports educational activities that complement and enhance training of a workforce to meet biomedical, behavioral, and clinical research needs. The concept focuses specifically on short courses for skills development that combine didactics and hands-on research experiences. Courses aim to develop investigators with scientific research skills to advance NIMH's mission and foster trajectories toward independent mental health research. Participants are limited to graduate/medical students, medical residents, postdoctoral scholars, and early-career faculty. Applications should develop, implement, and evaluate creative, innovative short courses teaching state-of-the-art tools, techniques, and approaches aligned with the NIMH Strategic Plan.
