The Department’s research training efforts recently received a major boost from an R25 grant awarded by the National Institute of Mental Health. The five-year grant will support the UW Psychiatry Resident Research Program (PRRP) and will help double the number of residents in the research training track from two per year to four per year. Up to four individuals can match directly into the PRRP and the slots revert to the Seattle Residency Track if they go unfilled. The UW PRRP will offer a wide range of research opportunities including Neuroscience, Health Services, and Addiction Psychiatry. In addition to a primary mentor, participants will receive scientific and career guidance from a mentoring committee. The goals of the UW PRRP are to attract a diverse group of participating residents, enhance their research experiences, and ultimately launch more psychiatrists into research careers. A big THANKS to John Neumaier, MD, PHD, the Principal Investigator of this new grant.
