N1 - Funding Information: We developed a required research rotation in which PGY2 residents embarked on a project as a group with guidance from a clinical researcher mentor and then worked on the project serially during 4-week rotations. The overall goal was the development of a research project that would be published in a peer-reviewed journal. Structural components of the rotation included protected time for residents, dedicated research mentors, peer group work on the same project, and research projects using existing data. Salary support for residents during their research rotation came from state grant funds. Research mentor salaries, statistician support, and required equipment and software funding came from the department and through institutional partnership with the local mental authority, which funded a project mentor salary. Over the last 4 years, we have adjusted the rotation structure and assessed outcomes and we present here the revised model. Funding Information: Potential challenges for our program include maintaining adequate funding for faculty mentors and protected resident time. Opportunities for funding resident research include national, state, and community-based grants, including philanthropic donations. Additional sources of potential funding that might be tapper might come from special institutional small-project awards, department or university funds earmarked for such projects in some institutions, and small awards for academic projects periodically offered by psychiatric and medical societies. The veteran’s health care administration provides research funding through the mental illness research education and clinical center (MIRECC). Community partners may offer or support research or quality improvement projects and researchers within an institution may use project grant funding to support resident stipends. Recruitment and support for mentors should include advocacy for protected mentoring activities and administrative time. Publicly available data sets provide options for additional projects using the design structure inherent in them. We advocate for continued support with evidence of the value of this rotation for the program and the department. Training future physicians who understand and value research advances our field.
