The Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior has two types of postdoctoral fellowships, which are based on source of funding. Hospital-based clinical research fellowships are funded by hospital revenue and individual faculty research grants. NIH postdoctoral fellowships described in this section of the website are supported by individual and institutional NIH training grants.
There are currently seven NIH-supported institutional training grants associated with the DPHB at Brown Medical School:
- Research Training Program in Child and Adolescent Biobehavioral HIV
- Research Training Program in Treatment Research
- Research Training Program in Dementia
- Research Training in Cardiovascular Behavioral Medicine
There are also two NIH-supported institutional training grants associated with the Center for Alcohol and Addictions Studies:
There is also an NIH supported Postgraduate Training and Career Development Program in Trandisciplinary Cancer Research.
Research fellowships are funded by T32 Institutional Research Service Awards and F32 Individual National Research Service Awards. Postdoctoral training at Brown allows the fellow to have as much autonomy as possible. The exact nature of training (the mixture of didactic experiences, exposure to ongoing faculty research, direct research involvement of the fellows, etc.) is decided on an individual basis by each of the faculty mentors and fellows.
The NIH Institutional Research Training Committee is composed of all the Directors and Associate Directors of the various T32 grants in the DPHB. The Clinical Psychology Training Consortium is centrally controlled through a committee, which is within the DPHB of the Brown Medical School. The Training Committee, under the leadership of the Director, Anthony Spirito and the Associate Director, Paul Malloy, is the central coordinating body of the NIH Research Training Program’s policies and goals. Brown postdoctoral fellowship training is a member of the Association of Psychology Postdoctoral and Internship Centers (APPIC).
