Multidisciplinary Training in Substance Abuse Research

项目摘要 这是迈阿密大学米勒医学院T32培训助学金的重新提交，旨在 培训药物滥用研究的博士后和博士后实习生。我们计划的目标是培训两个基本的 科学家和临床医生更好地了解物质滥用背后的基本科学概念，并 翻译“在法官席上”的发现，以便为“床边”的临床实践提供信息。伴随着警报声 处方类阿片类药物滥用的增加了解药物的潜在机制 多学科层面的滥用，以改善循证证据和制定有效的治疗方法 患有成瘾性精神障碍。我们的总体目标是为学员提供专业技能，以追求高效率 从事药物滥用研究的学术生涯。该计划的主要目标包括：1)为学员提供 无论是严格的实验室研究经验，还是以患者或人群为导向的研究经验 通过将有前途的候选人与一丝不苟的杰出导师联系起来进行药物滥用研究 根据科学资历和药物滥用培训经验选拔；2)为学员提供 关于药物滥用研究中职业发展的基本研究技能和信息 有组织的课程工作、讲座和研讨会，强调道德和科学诚信培训 学术“生存技能”、特定的研究工具和接触到不同的研究方法；3) 通过积极地与高级教师共同指导受训者，提高初级教师的指导技能并传授技能 有正规培训计划的教职员工。该计划将包括杰出的导师，他们除了 在他们的重点研究领域取得成功的人致力于教授广泛的研究技能，例如 对文献进行学术评论；提出假设和研究设计；开发基本要素 掌握统计、口头和书面陈述科学发现和撰写拨款的技能；理解问题和 界定科学诚信和伦理道德方面的潜在问题。项目领导层将进一步确保关闭 监督实习生的进度。我们的经验丰富的导师团队拥有积极的外部同行评审资金 致力于最高质量的研究经验，提供最先进的药物滥用培训 研究。拟议方案纳入了一项全面的培训计划，以负责任地开展 通过招聘和留住妇女和少数族裔候选人来研究和促进多样性。伊利诺伊大学 迈阿密为这一培训机制提供了一个充满活力、激励和合作的学习环境。

Project Summary This is a resubmission of a T32 training grant from the University of Miami, Miller school of Medicine aimed at training pre- and post-doctoral trainees in drug abuse research. Our program's goal is to train both basic scientists and clinicians to better understand the basic science concepts underlying substance abuse and to translate the findings made “at the bench” to inform clinical practices at the “bedside”. With the alarming increase in the abuse of prescription opioids it is imperative to understand the mechanisms underlying drug abuse at a multidisciplinary level to improve evidence-based and formulate effective treatments for patients with addictive disorders. Our overall goal is to provide trainees with professional skills to pursue productive academic careers in drug abuse research. Primary objectives of this program include: 1) provide trainees with either a rigorous laboratory research experience or patient- or population-oriented research experience in substance abuse research by linking promising candidates with outstanding mentors who are meticulously selected based on scientific qualifications and experience in drug abuse training; 2) to provide trainees with essential research skills and information regarding career development in substance abuse research through structured course work, lectures and seminars, which emphasizes training in ethics and scientific integrity academic "survival skills," specific research tools and exposure to diverse research methodologies; 3) to enhance and teach skills in mentorship to junior faculty through active co-mentoring of trainees with senior faculty with a formal training program. This program will include outstanding mentors who, in addition to success in their focused areas of research, are committed to teaching broad research skills, such as performing scholarly reviews of the literature; formulating hypotheses and study design; developing essential skills in statistics, oral and written presentation of scientific findings and grant writing; understanding issues and defining potential problems of scientific integrity and ethics. The program leadership will further ensure close monitoring of trainee progress. Our team of experienced mentors with active, external peer-reviewed funding are committed to the highest quality research experience, providing state of art training in substance abuse research. The proposed program incorporates a comprehensive training plan in the responsible conduct of research and promotes diversity by recruiting and retaining women, and minority candidates. The University of Miami offers a dynamic, stimulating and collegial learning environment for this training mechanism.
