</span></p>
<p><span style="color:black">Agencies like the Ford Foundation, National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Science Foundation (NSF), and U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) strive to attract, develop, and retain talented mental health scientists through
the administration of research training grants. To this end, agencies invest in promising predoctoral, postdoctoral, and early career scientists by awarding grants to not only support the execution of an important research project, but also the awardee’s professional
advancement. Such training grants are highly competitive, however, and not all eligible candidates are equipped or empowered to submit a successful application.
</span></p>
<p><span style="color:black">This panel, sponsored by the ABCT Student Membership Committee, will provide students and postgraduate trainees insight into the purpose, advantages, and challenges of predoctoral and early career training grants. Panelists include
recipients of select student grants (NSF and Ford Foundation awards), postdoctoral training grants (NIH T32 and VA Mental Illness Research and Treatment fellowships), and early career research training grants (NIH K and VA Career Development Awards). The panel
additionally includes an established faculty member who regularly reviews and mentors predoctoral training grant applications. Panelists will highlight the specific advantages of various training grants, describe their experiences drafting/evaluating training
grant applications, offer recommendations for making the most of training grant, and share other “lessons learned” during their predoctoral and early career research development. There will be ample opportunity for attendee participation in addition to moderated
Q&A.</span></p>
<p><b><span style="color:black">About the Presenters:</span></b></p>
<p><b><span style="color:black">Donte Bernard, PhD</span></b><span style="color:black">, is an Assistant Professor in the National Crime Victims Research & Treatment Center at the Medical University of South Carolina. Dr. Bernard received his PhD in Clinical
Psychology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and has developed a program of research that seeks to understand culturally relevant risk and protective factors that inform how racism-related stress and trauma impact the psychological and behavioral
health of Black youth across sensitive developmental periods. Dr. Bernard has earned predoctoral fellowships from NSF and Ford Foundation, and is currently funded by the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (K23MD016168-01).</span></p>
<p><b><span style="color:black">Sarah B. Campbell, PhD</span></b><span style="color:black">,<b>
</b>is a clinical psychologist and health services researcher at the HSR&D Seattle-Denver Center of Innovation and an acting Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the University of Washington School of Medicine. She
earned her PhD in clinical psychology from George Mason University, following post-baccalaureate respecialization in psychology at Columbia University and a clinical internship at VA Puget Sound Health Care System, Seattle Division, where she also completed
postdoctoral training. Her research, largely in the domain of PTSD and interpersonal relationships, has been funded by the National Institute of Mental Health, the Department of Veterans Affairs, the American Psychological Foundation, and the International
Society for Traumatic Stress Studies. Of particular relevance, Dr. Campbell was previously supported by an NIH F31 predoctoral fellowship and is currently supported by a VA Career Development Award. She also provides couple, individual, and group therapy for
Veterans with PTSD and related conditions. </span></p>
<p><b><span style="color:black">Angela Fang, PhD</span></b><span style="color:black">, is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Washington. She is Director of the Center of Neuroscience, Neuroendocrinology, and Clinical
Translation (CoNNeCT Lab) and Co-Director of the CALM Clinic for Anxiety, Traumatic Stress, and Obsessive Compulsive Related Disorders at the University of Washington. She received her PhD in clinical psychology at Boston University and completed her predoctoral
internship and postdoctoral fellowship at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School. She has been awarded a 5-year K23 Career Development Award from the NIMH, NIH Loan Repayment Award, foundation grants from the Brain and Behavior Research
Foundation and International OCD Foundation, as well as other departmental grants. She has also sat on review panels for the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program.</span></p>
<p><b><span style="color:black">Antonio J. Polo, PhD</span></b><span style="color:black">, is a Professor in the clinical-child psychology program at DePaul University. His research interests concentrate on three primary areas. The first area focuses on the
prevention and treatment of depression and anxiety in youth, centering on developing interventions that are evidence-based, transportable, and effectively implemented in community settings, as well as culturally informed and well-received by ethnic and linguistic
minority youth and their families. A second research area involves expanding our understanding about the mental health of Latinx children, adolescents, and their families; specifically, how cultural influences and other risk and protective factors help explain
the patterns and levels of maladjustment they exhibit. Third, Dr. Polo has been involved in developing educational strategies and programs for individuals to become actively involved in the educational and mental health systems. This research includes interventions
to help clients become collaborative partners with their providers order to identify and receive the best possible services. He has reviewed and/or mentored students for pre-doctoral and dissertation fellowships for the Ford Foundation, APA’s Minority Fellowship
Program, and the National Science Foundation.</span></p>
