Project Summary The purpose of this R13 conference grant is to seek partial funding support for the second international Computational Psychiatry Conference. This meeting will be held over three days (16-18 July 2024) in Minneapolis, Minnesota on the campus of the University of Minnesota, providing a centralized location that is both accessible and compact, allowing for interactions among attendees. The conference builds on a very successful first iteration held in Dublin, Ireland in 2023, as well as a 6 year (2014-2019, 2022) successful workshop run out of University College London and then Mount Sinai medical school. The specific goal of the conference is to bring together early-career and established investigators working on clinical and computational questions related to mental health and addiction. Our aim is to build a productive and career-enhancing annual conference that supports the development of researchers to translate neuroscience discoveries into psychiatric clinical practice and to use clinical observations to generate new discoveries in neuroscience. The specific aim of this R13 proposal is to provide support for early career investigators for the following activities: ● Career development sessions, including ○ Curated interactions with to more senior investigators; ○ A panel discussion on diversity, equity, and inclusion in the computational psychiatry field; ○ A career journey discussion. ● Two tutorials to allow researchers with limited expertise to broaden their knowledge base; the tutorials are particularly important for this community because this conference brings together researchers from two very separate expertises (computational neuroscience and clinical psychiatry). ● Poster awards for trainees. ● Travel support for early career investigators from communities underrepresented in medicine and science.
