# Child Intervention, Prevention and Services Research Mentoring Network

> **NIH NIH R25** · UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH AT PITTSBURGH · 2024 · $212,602

## Abstract

This R‐25 application proposes a competing renewal of a multi‐site, interdisciplinary mentoring program
in the field of child psychiatric intervention, prevention, and services (CHIPS). The CHIPS program targets
post‐doc trainees and entry‐level faculty preparing to write their first NIMH career development or
project grant in the area of intervention, prevention or services for child psychiatric disorders. It
combines a one‐week summer institute with a minimum of one subsequent year of intensive mentoring
and mentor‐guided expansion of the trainee’s professional network. The overarching goals of this
program are to: (1) recruit and retain promising early career scientists to child and adolescent mental
health intervention, prevention, and services research; (2) increase their success rate and decrease the
time to successful acquisition of external funding; and (3) prepare researchers who can conduct
research that spans the boundaries of intervention, prevention, and services research and that is
strongly informed by advances in translational and developmental science. The one‐week summer
institute strongly emphasizes experiential exercises and mentoring. It is focused on helping trainees
acquire the full range of skills needed to prepare their next grant application. The CHIPS faculty have a
record of successful mentoring and together span the breadth of intervention, prevention, and services
research, and thus can promote the development of a broader training perspective to program
participants than any single training site.
With this competing renewal, responsive to the anticipated Covid‐19 impact on child and adolescent
mental health, we have added new mentors with deep expertise in suicide and health disparities.
