# Research Colloquium for Junior Psychiatrist Investigators > **NIH NIH R13** · AMERICAN PSYCHIATRIC ASSOC FOUNDATION · 2021 · $25,000 ## Abstract Abstract The overarching goal of this proposal is to help junior psychiatrist investigators develop and maintain a research career path via our multi-component Research Colloquium for Junior Investigators program (the Research Colloquium). The specific aims are to: 1) identify current and future senior psychiatry residents, research fellows, and junior faculty psychiatrists who are promising candidates for successful research careers; 2) provide a 1-day, intensive, mentored training session that will allow junior investigators to present their current or proposed research protocols in small group sessions; 3) provide junior investigators with faculty mentoring and peer feedback; 4) provide information and resources that will enable participants to obtain outside funding and launch successful research careers, as measured by the receipt of grant support, publication in peer-reviewed journals, and academic appointments at research institutions, both private and public, and in academia and industry; 5) and provide innovative opportunities for ongoing post-colloquium mentoring and career guidance. The overall Colloquium aims to strengthen and diversify the psychiatrist- scientist workforce. It offers mentorship and research career development junior psychiatrist investigators in two tracks that differentiate participants’ research experience (beginner and intermediate) and five core areas reflect the range of psychiatric research, from basic neuroscience and translational research through clinical trials and health services research. An important area focuses on research related to alcohol, pain, and drug abuse, and it integrates aspects of other research areas, including basic brain neuroscience and clinical psychobiology. This application seeks 3 years of support to facilitate the Alcohol, Pain and Drug Abuse component of the Research Colloquium, 2020-2022, to be held in the spring of each year during the Annual Meeting of the American Psychiatric Association (APA) as a separate event. The Research Colloquium is a team mentoring opportunity that gives beginning investigators a 2-day, immersive research experience through the presentation of their current research in small groups of mentors and peers. Each Research Colloquium invites 30 psychiatric residents, fellows, and early career psychiatrists who meet in small groups of approximately 4-5 trainees and 2-3 mentors plus 1 statistical mentor per group to discuss the trainees’ research projects and career plans. They also present their research in a poster session and receive guidance from additional mentors outside their working group. Beyond the 2-day meeting, each Research Colloquium encourages networking, follow-up, and collaborations between junior investigators and mentors. The Research Colloquium has taken place annually since the mid-1990s, sponsored by a coalition of NIH Institutes that has included the National Institute of Mental Health, National Institute of Drug Abuse, National Instit... ## Key facts - **NIH application ID:** 10200744 - **Project number:** 5R13DA052195-02 - **Recipient organization:** AMERICAN PSYCHIATRIC ASSOC FOUNDATION - **Principal Investigator:** Diana Elaine Clarke - **Activity code:** R13 (R01, R21, SBIR, etc.) - **Funding institute:** NIH - **Fiscal year:** 2021 - **Award amount:** $25,000 - **Award type:** 5 - **Project period:** 2020-07-01 → 2023-06-30 ## Primary source NIH RePORTER: https://reporter.nih.gov/project-details/10200744 ## Citation > US National Institutes of Health, RePORTER application 10200744, Research Colloquium for Junior Psychiatrist Investigators (5R13DA052195-02).
