The Summer Research Institute in Geriatric Psychiatry (SRI) is an annual week-long training program designed for junior faculty members, post-residency (M.D. or D.O.) and post-doctoral (Ph.D., Psy. D., Pharm.D.) fellows interested in research careers in geriatric mental health. The orientation of the SRI is broad and covers career development strategies for those committed to careers in basic and translational research, clinical and treatment research, and health services research. Participants will have in common a shared commitment to advancing knowledge in the mental disorders of late life. They will bring a variety of skills and backgrounds to the SRI and will have the opportunity to present their ideas to the faculty and fellow participants.
The application process for the 2006 Summer Research Institute in Geriatric Psychiatry is currently open. This year's SRI will be in Pittsburgh from July 22-28. An application consists of:
- a one page statement of research and career interests
- a curriculum vitae which includes your current address, phone & fax numbers, and email address
- a letter of reference
The deadline for applying the 2006 SRI is March 17, 2006.
