Child/Adolescent/Young Adult Research Collaboration Group

The Goals of the Youth RCG are to:

Serve as a convener of researchers and clinicians interested in mental disorders that develop in childhood, adolescence or young adulthood to create and strengthen productive research collaborations
Develop study groups related to specific interests of the group
Provide expert review of draft grant applications
Connect young researchers with mentors
Develop the research course for trainees
Develop a research track with dedicated research time for the child and adolescent psychiatry fellows especially interested in a research career
Update the membership activity section regularly and encourage its review to encourage collaboration.
While many of the members of the YouthRCG are faculty members of the UCSF Department of Psychiatry, interested members may be from any Department or University where collaboration enhances the research
