The NIMH has awarded its first Intervention and Services Research Center dedicated to bipolar disorder across the life span to the Case School of Medicine in Cleveland, Ohio. The research center conducts projects that bridge science and service and improve clinical outcomes in underserved populations.

A two-year post-doctoral research fellowship position is available to candidates who are board-eligible child/adolescent and adult psychiatrists, committed to developing an academic career in the therapeutics of bipolar disorder, including children at-risk, children, adolescents, adults and older adults.

Fellows will be the recipients of 1) a specialized research curriculum; 2) specific training on methods and statistics; 3) mentoring by NIMH-funded program faculty with an emphasis on manuscript preparation, scientific presentation, and grant writing; and 4) experiential learning involving the operational management of an NIMH-funded research infrastructure.
