The purpose of this paper is to describe the development and initial accomplishments of a training program of young leaders in community mental health research as part of a Latin American initiative known as RedeAmericas. RedeAmericas was one of five regional 'Hubs' funded by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) to improve community mental health care and build mental health research capacity in low- and middle-income countries. It included investigators in six Latin American cities - Santiago, Chile; Medellín, Colombia; Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; and Córdoba, Neuquén, and Buenos Aires in Argentina - working together with a team affiliated with the Global Mental Health program at Columbia University in New York City. One component of RedeAmericas was a capacity-building effort that included an Awardee program for early career researchers in the mental health field. We review the aims of this component, how it developed, and what was learned that would be useful for future capacity-building efforts, and also comment on future prospects for maintaining this type of effort.
本文旨在描述一个社区心理健康研究青年领袖培训项目的发展情况及初步成果，该项目是拉丁美洲一项名为“美洲网络”（RedeAmericas）倡议的一部分。“美洲网络”是由美国国立精神卫生研究所（NIMH）资助的五个区域“中心”之一，旨在改善低收入和中等收入国家的社区精神卫生保健并建设精神卫生研究能力。它涵盖了拉丁美洲六个城市的研究人员——智利的圣地亚哥；哥伦比亚的麦德林；巴西的里约热内卢；以及阿根廷的科尔多瓦、内乌肯和布宜诺斯艾利斯——他们与纽约市哥伦比亚大学全球精神卫生项目的一个团队合作。“美洲网络”的一个组成部分是能力建设工作，其中包括为心理健康领域的早期职业研究人员设立的获奖者项目。我们回顾了该组成部分的目标、发展过程以及所学到的对未来能力建设工作有用的经验，并对维持此类工作的未来前景发表评论。
