ABSTRACT Diversity is essential to maximize scientific rigor, innovation, and generalizability in alcohol research. However, a lack of participation by investigators and trainees from diverse ethnic and racial groups, disability status, and disadvantaged socioeconomic backgrounds is a persistent challenge. Investigators from the field of psychology are vital in the conduct of interdisciplinary alcohol research and evidence-supported treatment provision, and integral to the dissemination and implementation of novel behavioral, pharmacological, and combined treatment approaches for alcohol use disorders. Thus, the primary objective of the proposed alcohol research training program, titled Enhancing Diversity in Alcohol Research (EDAR), is to address this critical need by increasing engagement and retention of URM psychology trainees in alcohol research careers. The EDAR program is aligned with NIAAA’s longstanding mission to support diversity in education, the NIAAA Strategic Plan for 2017- 2021, and the NIAAA Working Group on Diversity and Health Disparity. The specific aims of the EDAR program are to: 1) attract URM psychology trainees into internship programs with robust alcohol research training opportunities by providing individualized mentoring from near-peers and senior experts in the alcohol field, structured didactics focused on diversity and professional development, and financial support, 2) retain URM psychology trainees in alcohol research careers by engaging them in NIAAA-supported T32 programs and providing them the skills to become near-peer mentors, 3) examine the effects of the program on research engagement and career trajectories following program completion, and 4) identify barriers and facilitators to engaging and retaining URM trainees in alcohol research. Each year, we will recruit and retain cohorts of six outstanding psychology graduate students from diverse backgrounds during the summer before internship application. The proposed EDAR program will provide two years of formalized didactic training and individual mentorship including: personalized feedback on internship and postdoctoral fellowship application materials, interview skill development, and financial support to offset trainee application and interview expenses. Thorough program evaluation will occur with direction from an expert panel of federally-funded alcohol researchers and educators in our Advisory Council to refine and improve the program and provide innovative data on potential barriers and facilitators to alcohol research involvement for trainees from diverse backgrounds. The highly qualified leadership team, strong partnerships with senior alcohol investigators leading NIAAA-supported T32/T35 training programs, and a team of exceptionally qualified and dedicated faculty mentors will ensure that the proposed alcohol research education program is implemented with a focus on rigor, cultural sensitivity, and sustainability within a vibrant educational setting.

摘要 多样性对于最大限度地提高酒精研究的科学严谨性、创新性和普遍性至关重要。但是，在这方面， 缺乏来自不同民族和种族群体的调查人员和受训人员的参与，残疾状况， 弱势社会经济背景是一个持续的挑战。来自心理学领域的调查人员 在跨学科酒精研究和循证治疗提供中至关重要， 是传播和实施新型行为、药理学和联合治疗的组成部分 酒精使用障碍的治疗方法因此，拟议的酒精研究培训的主要目标 一项名为“增强酒精研究的多样性”（EDAR）的计划旨在通过增加 参与和保留URM心理学学员在酒精研究事业。EDAR计划是 与NIAAA支持教育多样性的长期使命一致，NIAAA 2017年战略计划- 2021年，以及NIAAA多样性和健康差距工作组。EDAR计划的具体目标 是：1）吸引URM心理学实习生参加具有强大酒精研究培训的实习计划 机会，提供个性化的指导，从近同行和资深专家在酒精领域， 注重多样性和专业发展的结构化教学法，以及财政支持，2）保留URM 通过让他们参与NIAAA支持的T32计划， 为他们提供技能，使他们成为近同行的导师，3）检查该计划对研究的影响 项目完成后的参与和职业轨迹，以及4）确定障碍和促进因素， 参与和保留URM学员在酒精研究。每年，我们将招募和保留六名 来自不同背景的优秀心理学研究生在实习前的夏天 应用程序.拟议的EDAR计划将提供两年的正式教学培训和个人 指导包括：对实习和博士后奖学金申请材料的个性化反馈， 面试技能发展，以及抵消受训人员申请和面试费用财政支助。彻底 项目评估将在联邦政府资助的酒精研究专家小组的指导下进行， 教育工作者在我们的咨询理事会，以完善和改善该计划，并提供创新的数据，对潜在的 障碍和促进酒精研究参与不同背景的学员。高度 合格的领导团队，与高级酒精调查员建立强有力的伙伴关系，领导NIAAA支持的 T32/T35培训课程，以及一个非常合格和敬业的教师导师团队将确保 拟议的酒精研究教育计划的实施重点是严谨性，文化敏感性， 在充满活力的教育环境中的可持续性。
