Abstract

The primary purpose of this article is to review the career outcomes of a research training program specifically targeted to young psychiatric researchers from minority populations underrepresented in psychiatry The aims of the program were 1 to support psychiatric investigators from underrepresented populations in the development and maintenance of research careers and 2 to identify the factors which influence successful research career developmentDemographic data from 99 program participants were collected from an online survey as part of a systematic program evaluation and through a followup internet search Outcome measures included current academic position number and types of posttraining grants received number of peerreviewed publications and comparison of posttraining career outcomes with those from other highly regarded research training programsOf the 99 psychiatrists accepted into the program 55 responded to the online survey additional information on nonresponders was obtained through a followup internet search Results indicated that 64 of program trainees identified their primary employment setting as academic/research 70 reported publication of their research findings and 64 reported the award of posttraining research grants The percentage of program graduates appointed to academic faculty positions and their receipt of R01 and/or K awards exceeded that of two highly regarded national training programs The study further identified major factors influencing successful research career developmentFindings from this study strongly suggest that research training programs targeted to young minority psychiatrists can be successful in supporting the development and maintenance of their research careers The decline in the availability of such programs does not portend well for increasing the numbers of underrepresented minority psychiatric researchers
