Child and Adolescent Psychiatry/Psychology

The Department of CAPP’s Research Management Team is one of three Management Teams (MTs): the Research Management Team, the Patient Care Management Team and the Education Management Team). It is comprised of four pillars, each representing specific study populations, including: (a) the general population; (b) high-risk populations; (c) somatic patients with psychological/psychiatric problems; and (d) psychiatric patients. Using a (clinical) epidemiological approach, we focus on harmonizing neuroscientific and deep phenotyping measures across cohorts and investigate the applicability of innovative interventions 

The Research Management Team is comprised of the pillar coordinators, the Head of the Department and the staff advisor. Our four research pillar coordinators meet regularly to inform each other and integrate research- related issues. The Research Management Team meets every other month to discuss research strategy, the progress of projects, grant and talent opportunities, data management, and other issues related to research policy or strategy. 

The team also organizes four Research Work Meetings each year for all junior and senior researchers across all pillars. Here, they inform researchers about research-related developments at the departmental and hospital level and discuss new study results and plans.  

The Research Management Team and the Patient Care Management Team also hold an integrated meeting four times each year. We also run monthly ‘Science Café’ meetings to integrate research and patient care, centered on topics that are relevant for both clinicians and researchers. Many of our researchers participate in education, and the Education Management Team holds monthly meetings to coordinate education.
