Brief Description:
This postdoctoral training program is focused on interdisciplinary approaches to genetics of complex inheritance psychiatric disease, and to basic research and technology development that may prove pertinent. Because the program includes what could be considered translational research for which physician-scientists are particularly well suited, we expect up to one half of the program participants to be M.D.s or M.D./Ph.D.s, while the remainder will be Ph.Ds.

Ordinarily this is a two- or three- year program. The program includes primary research mentorship with one of the faculty, and a series of four multidisciplinary didactic courses, leading to successful submission of applications for support, including Federal support, during the course of the Fellowship.
