The Childhood Stress, Trauma, and Resilience (STAR T32) Research Training grant at The Miriam Hospital an affiliate of Brown University is an intensive research fellowship designed to train and accelerate the careers of PhD and MD postdoctoral fellows to conduct transformative, translational, developmentally-informed research focused on the mechanisms and health consequences of childhood stress, trauma and resilience. Innovations for our second cycle include an increased focus on meaningful partnerships with community members and agencies and on social justice and health equity. Our program seeks to advance the health of children with trauma and other toxic stress exposures including racism and other social drivers of health by training promising researchers in gold-standard and innovative approaches to clinical and translational research methods in a variety of domains.
The Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior has remarkable breadth and depth of research areas of interest and expertise, and is considered one of the most outstanding academic psychiatry departments in the country.
