# Translational Neuroscience Training for Clinicians

## Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY
The new Translational Neuroscience Training for Clinicians (TNT-C) postdoctoral fellowship will address a
pressing need in the psychiatry research workforce: strengthening the pipeline for clinically trained
individuals to enter into translational neuroscience research careers. We are well positioned to address
this important gap, with access to both an exceptionally talented pool of trainees from outstanding
psychiatry residency and psychology internship programs, and to an unparalleled network of basic,
translational, and clinical investigators across Harvard and its affiliates. Program faculty members are
seasoned investigators and mentors based at the MGH Department of Psychiatry or the Broad Institute,
and each has independent funding as part of a multidisciplinary research portfolio. Two new trainees,
either psychiatrists or psychologists who have recently completed their clinical training, will enter the
program each year, and will receive a maximum of three years of support. Trainees will receive cross-
disciplinary mentorship that spans two of four research “hubs,” consisting of (1) the numerous clinical
research programs within the MGH Department of Psychiatry, (2) the Martinos Center for Biomedical
Imaging, (3) the MGH Psychiatric and Neurodevelopmental Genetics Unit, and (4) the Stanley Center of
the Broad Institute. Leveraging vast datasets from across these programs, trainees will develop
mentored research projects that bridge the domains of clinical research, brain imaging, genomics, animal
models, and cell/molecular biology. They will receive specialized didactic training that covers each of
these domains as well as general issues in translational research (e.g., biostatistics, ethics, scientific
writing, career planning) in preparation for career development awards or other independent funding
applications to be submitted toward the end of the fellowship period. Our trainees will therefore enter the
fellowship period with a deep, first-hand knowledge of unmet clinical needs in psychiatry; they will
graduate with an arsenal of cutting-edge tools to address these needs through collaborative brain
research.
