directs, plans, and supports programs of research and research training that
translate knowledge from basic science to discover the etiology,
pathophysiology, and trajectory of mental disorders and develop effective
interventions for children and adults. DTR supports integrative, multidisciplinary
research in the following areas: the phenotypic characterization and risk
factors for psychiatric disorders; neurobehavioral mechanisms of
psychopathology; trajectories of risk and resilience based on the interactive
influences of genetics, brain development, environment, and experience; and
design and testing of innovative neuromodulatory, psychosocial and
psychopharmacological interventions. </span><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">The

to identify and formulate programmatic needs to achieve an integrated and
responsive effort in clinical neuroscience, novel intervention development and
testing in both adults and children, and systems-level neuroscience research
relevant for understanding the etiology and trajectories of serious mental
illnesses. As program officers in this division, the selected candidate(s) will
stimulate, plan, advise, and direct program activities for a portfolio of
research projects and grant or cooperative agreement awards in the area of translational
research. Program Officer candidates are expected to be accomplished
scientists with a good understanding of how biomedical research is performed
and expertise in one or more of the fields: clinical, cognitive, molecular,
behavioral neuroscience, neuromodulation, psychotherapeutic development,
genetics or related fields that emphasize multidisciplinary approaches to
understanding the underlying causes of and developing effective treatment for
mental disorders. A publication record, prior research experience and evidence
of a familiarity with current literature in the biology of mental illness are
essential. </span></p>
