The 2009 Program
The University of
California, San Diego
is pleased to announce the availability of positions for the
thirteenth annual Summer Research Institute in Geriatric Psychiatry.
In July 1995, UCSD
hosted the first annual week-long Summer Research Institute (SRI) in
Geriatric Psychiatry. Subsequent SRIs have been held at the
University of Pennsylvania, the University of California, Los
Angeles, Stanford University, University of Washington, Cornell
University and Duke University. The NIMH-funded SRI is intended
for promising post-residency and post-doctoral fellows as well as
junior faculty persons from across the country interested in
research careers in geriatric psychiatry. The SRI focuses on the
tools needed to begin, maintain and succeed on that career path, and
is followed by continued communication between trainees and
faculty. The SRI faculty consists of staff from NIMH and nationally
renowned researchers in geriatric psychiatry. Various topics of
responsible conduct of research are covered at the SRI. The SRI is
highly successful, judging from the participants evaluations, as
well as the trainees accomplishments in terms of publications and
research funding during three years of follow-up. The SRI provides
a useful model for an approach to bridging and shortening the
transition period from fellowship to first research funding, and of
assuring a continued flow of new investigators in geriatric
psychiatry.
Where:
The site for the 2009 SRI is
the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Michigan.
When:
It will begin on Saturday, July 25 2009 and run through Friday,
July 31, 2009
Application Deadline:
March 20, 2009
(Click here application procedures)
Expenses:
Funds are available to support travel and per diem expenses for all
participants who are U.S. citizens; there will be minimal
out-of-pocket expenditures. Participants are requested to pay a
$100 registration fee. Funding is provided through a grant to the
Regents of the University of California from the National Institute
of Mental Health. Non-U.S. citizens may apply, but if accepted they
must secure independent funding.
