Targeted Leadership Component
The targeted leadership grant component of the program is intended to advance the treatment of depression as a chronic illness in primary care through leadership development within primary care medical specialties. Senior mentors have paired with junior primary care physicians to conduct specific research projects relevant to the overall goals of the program. By convening these pairs of primary care specialists, we hope to develop a cadre of future leaders in primary care with an interest in and commitment to studying and treating depression as a chronic disease. RWJF has funded four promising junior investigators under this component.
Depression in Primary Care is a national program supported by The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation with direction and technical assistance provided by
The Department of Psychiatry, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine.
