"Gender differences in issues of comorbidity: Pathways and Implications"
Thursday, June 17 through Saturday, June 19, 2010.
New York City
As the fifth generation of a collaborative initiative that began 20 years ago, FRC-V focuses on the effects of co-occurring psychiatric disorders (e.g., affective/anxiety diagnoses with drug/alcohol abuse), conceptualized within a transdisciplinary framework and with an emphasis on interventions (see http://frc5.org/). This Consortium continues the FRC tradition of deliberate attention to ethnic, racial, cultural, and economic diversity and in this new iteration brings concerted attention to the role of mothers (generally primary caregivers of children as well as other adults).
A central goal of the FRC Summer Institutes is to promote collaboration among scholars across the nation. Participants in these Institutes are postdoctoral fellows and early investigators with a demonstrated commitment to developing research careers. Across the 2.5 days of meetings, we hope to help crystallize many such collaborative ?matches?.
The Family Research Consortium will cover all travel, lodging, and registration costs for a select group of FRC fellows for the 2010 Institute. These six to ten fellows will present a poster at the Institute. They will also be matched with a FRC faculty mentor during the Institute where they will establish a yearlong collaborative relationship.
