Applications Due on December 1 for a New Training Opportunity

The recently awarded “Training LEADers to Accelerate Global Mental Health Disparities Research” (LEAD) T37 has begun recruiting our first cohort of trainees for Summer 2020. The LEAD Training Program will support pre- and postdoctoral trainees from underrepresented groups committed to conducting health disparities research, with a specific focus on global mental health prevention, intervention, services, and implementation research within resource-constrained settings. Phase 1 of the training program consists of 2-4 weeks at Washington University in St. Louis for targeted skills and didactic seminars plus field-based research experiences within the St. Louis community. Phase 2 consists of up to 8 weeks of mentored training in one of eight Sub-Saharan countries, with a current NIH-funded Mental Health Intervention. Applications are due December 1, 2019 and can be completed on the LEAD Training Program website.
