The Military Suicide Research Consortium (MSRC) co-Directors, Drs. Gutierrez and Joiner, are pleased to announce the partcipants of the first MSRC pre-conference research training day. The training day is to be held Wednesday April 24 prior to the 2013 American Association of Suicidology (AAS) conference, in Austin, TX.
Places were available for students or research fellows across levels of training (graduate to post-doctoral). The purpose of the training day is to provide those with an interest in developing their skills as military/Veteran suicide researchers with intensive training to move a specific relevant project forward.
A top-notch faculty will provide the didactic sessions and serve as individual mentors. In addition to Drs. Gutierrez and Joiner, faculty will be Dr. Jon Maner (Florida State University), Dr. Marjan Holloway (Uniform Services University of the Health Sciences), Dr. Sean Joe (University of Michigan), Dr. Matthew Nock (Harvard), Dr. Kelly Cukrowicz (Texas Tech University), and Dr. Michael Allen (University of Colorado School of Medicine).
