Project Summary / Abstract The George Warren Brown School of Social Work at Washington University seeks an additional five years (years 16-20) of support for a predoctoral and postdoctoral research training program, funded since 2002 focusing on services to, treatment of, clinical correlates of and policies affecting minority, underserved populations and those particularly vulnerable to substance use disorders and co-occurring and comorbid conditions. Maximizing an effective transdisciplinary collaboration between the Brown School and the School of Medicine, the Transdisciplinary Training in Addictions Research (TranSTAR) Program provides a stimulating and collaborative research training environment to produce exceptionally well-trained addictions researchers. TranSTAR faculty are particularly well-suited for addressing challenging addiction research issues such as polydrug users, non-treatment seeking, incarcerated populations, or those with mental health/health comorbidities, and URM and other populations disproportionately impacted by social issues such as poverty, racism and discrimination, housing and educational inequality. TranSTAR holds a superlative training record, with 100% of its 10 past predoctoral trainees currently in addictions research, 40% tenured, 53% with external funding during and 90% subsequent to training. Postdoctoral trainees are similarly accomplished: with 100% of past trainees in addictions research, 37% tenured, and 50% with external or university funding. With a highly diverse training faculty, led by two faculty from social work/public health and psychiatry, TranSTAR has demonstrated success in recruiting and retaining women and URM scholars; current predoctoral trainees are 100% women and 67% URM; diversity of postdoctoral trainees overall is similarly excellent (50% women, 50% URM). TranSTAR leverages successes and “lessons learned” with on-going monitoring and evaluation to ensure that trainees (three pre- and two postdocs/year) have the necessary knowledge and skills to: (1) conceptualize meaningful research questions with practical service and policy implications; (2) execute rigorous, cutting-edge projects; (3) develop competitive grant applications; and (4) translate and disseminate results with potential for high impact. TranSTAR provides:(a) transdisciplinary and specialized addictions coursework and seminars taught by leading faculty in social work, public health, psychiatry, statistics, and the social sciences; (b) structured mentoring, advising, and “hands-on” experience on addictions research projects for postdoctoral trainees over two years of training and for predoctoral trainees across three years of mentored research; (c) proposal critique review sessions; (d) predoctoral teaching assistantships in Master-level courses in addiction, comorbid conditions, statistics, and research methodology; (e) professional development sessions on presentation skills, effective communication of research findings, and “soft-skills” related to networking and effective collaborative team science; and (f) on-going, multi-faceted responsible conduct of research training.

项目总结/摘要 华盛顿大学（Washington University）的乔治沃伦布朗（George Warren Brown）社会工作学院（School of Social Work）希望再增加五年的学习时间 （16-20岁）支持博士前和博士后研究培训计划，自2002年以来资助 侧重于服务，治疗，临床相关性和政策影响少数，服务不足 特别易患药物使用障碍和共病的人群 条件最大限度地提高布朗学院和学院之间的有效跨学科合作 医学，成瘾研究的跨学科培训（transstar）计划提供了一个刺激的 和合作研究培训环境，以培养训练有素的成瘾研究人员。 transstar教师特别适合解决具有挑战性的成瘾研究问题，如 多种毒品使用者、非寻求治疗者、被监禁人群或精神健康/健康状况不佳者 合并症，URM和其他受贫困等社会问题影响不成比例的人群， 种族主义和歧视、住房和教育不平等。TranSTAR拥有最高的培训记录， 100%的10名博士前学员目前在成瘾研究，40%终身，53%与外部 培训期间和培训后的资金占90%。博士后学员也同样完成：100%的 过去的学员在成瘾研究，37%的终身教职，和50%的外部或大学的资金。具有高度 不同的培训教师，由两个教师从社会工作/公共卫生和精神病学，transstar有 在招聘和留住妇女和URM学者方面取得了成功;目前的博士前学员是 100%为女性，67%为URM;博士后学员的多样性总体上同样出色（50%为女性，50% URM）。TranSTAR利用成功经验和“经验教训”，不断进行监测和评估， 确保受训人员（每年三名博士前和两名博士后）具备必要的知识和技能，以便：（1） 将有意义的研究问题概念化，使其具有实际服务和政策含义;（2）执行 严格的，尖端的项目;（3）开发有竞争力的赠款申请;（4）翻译和传播 结果具有潜在的高影响力。TranSTAR提供：（a）跨学科和专门的成瘾 课程和研讨会由社会工作，公共卫生，精神病学，统计学和 社会科学;（B）成瘾研究项目的结构化指导、咨询和“实践”经验 对于博士后学员，为期两年的培训，对于博士前学员，为期三年的指导 研究;（c）提案评论审查会议;（d）硕士课程的博士前助教 成瘾、共病情况、统计和研究方法;（e）专业发展课程 演讲技巧，研究成果的有效沟通，以及与网络有关的“软技能”， 有效的团队协作科学;及（f）持续、多层面、负责任地进行研究训练。
