As the fifth generation of a collaborative initiative begun 20 years ago, FRC-V
· focuses on the effects of co-occurring psychiatric disorders,
· conceptualized within a transdisciplinary framework,
· with deliberate attention to ethnic, racial, cultural, and economic diversity, and
· an emphasis on interventions, particularly those for mothers (see
http://frc5.org/).
A central goal of the FRC Summer Institutes is to promote collaboration and mentorship. Participants are postdoctoral fellows and early investigators with a demonstrated commitment to research careers. Across the 2.5 days of meetings, we hope to help crystallize many collaborative matches with senior scientists.
FRC will cover all travel, lodging, and registration costs for a select group of FRC fellows for the 2010 Summer Institute. These six to ten fellows will present posters at the Institute. They will also be matched with a FRC faculty mentor during where they will establish a yearlong collaborative relationship.
