2010 NIH Summer Institute on Transdisciplinary Research
Start Date: 2010-08-08 01:00:00
End Date: 2010-08-13 11:59:00
2010 NIH Summer Institute on Transdisciplinary Research: Integrating Genetic and Social Work Research
Bethesda North Marriott Hotel & Conference Center in Bethesda, Maryland.
Sunday August 8 through Friday August 13, 2010
DEADLINE TO SUBMIT APPLICATIONS HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO: MAY 13, 2010
The Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research in collaboration with participating NIH Institutes and Centers will sponsor an intensive, week long summer research institute on the applications of genetic research techniques and methods relevant to social work problems. The summer institute is intended for junior faculty in schools of social work or related disciplines who want to improve their research skills regarding studies of genetics and gene and environment interactions as they relate to the social determinants of health. The summer institute will be held on Sunday August 8 through Friday August 13, 2010 at the Bethesda North Marriott Hotel & Conference Center in Bethesda, Maryland.
The intense program will cover several topic areas including reviews of genetic studies related to both physical and mental health; an overview of genetic epidemiology (focusing on behavior genetic studies); basic genetic technologies; study designs; developing and assessing clinical, social and behavioral-phenotypes; assessment of different social environments; and data analytic strategies using genetic information. The session on study design will focus on the interplay between genes and environment. Since social work researchers who become involved in genetic research are likely to collaborate with scientists in several other disciplines, a portion of the workshop will be devoted to strategies for building transdisciplinary research teams. Prospective participants will be required to submit a brief description of a research proposal in their area of interest for consideration. For detail information on eligibility and the application process, please visit the 2010 Summer Institute website: http://conferences.thehillgroup.com/obssr/SI2010/index.html
The Institute will be led by an experienced team of researchers under the leadership of the institute co-chairs:
Victor M. Hesselbrock, Ph.D., M.S.W.
Professor and Interim Chair
Department of Psychiatry Physicians Health Services
Professor of Addiction Studies and Director, Alcohol Research Center
University of Connecticut
Michie N. Hesselbrock, Ph.D., M.S.W.
