Abstract: Collins and Riley, Directors of NIH and of NIH’s Office of Behavioral and Social Science Research, have described the 21st century data revolution as potentially “transformative” for social and behavioral science (SBS) research. Evolutionary leaps in technology have generated vast arrays of novel sources of Big Data: in 2018, for example, 500 million microblogs were tweeted daily, and 2.48 billion users engaged with Facebook. The data revolution has also catalyzed massive growth in administrative data, as governments and other entities digitize their data (e.g., the CDC has data on billions of prescriptions dispensed in the US). Constella- tions of tweets, posts, and administrative data provide “transformative” opportunities for SBS researchers to swiftly identify threats to health; characterize-more comprehensively than ever before, and often in real time- the conditions in which people thrive, suffer, and die; and develop novel interventions. Nowhere are such transformations more direly needed than to address a 21st century crisis: substance use disorders (SUD). In 2017, HHS declared the opioid crisis a national emergency, as 11.4 million people misused opioid analgesics, and overdoses killed >70,000 people, contributing to a drop in US life expectancy. We are, though, failing to prepare the next generation of SBS researchers to engage these transforma- tive tools. A scan of syllabi from departments of behavioral and social science in 10 top public health schools reveals that required methods courses culminate with multilevel and structural equation models, decades-old methods ill-equipped to leverage emerging data to catalyze transformative approaches to end SUD epidemics. Supported by 45 Emory faculty from 11 departments, the proposed training program (TADA) will prepare a diverse cadre of 21st century SBS researchers to develop transformative approaches to end the SUD crisis. TADA will prepare trainees to ethically, critically, and seamlessly integrate advanced data science methods into the SBS research lifecycle for SUD. Trainees will learn to: (1) Conduct theoretically-informed studies of distributions and ecologies of SUD-related harms using advanced data science methods; (2) Conduct theoretically-informed studies motivating and assessing policies and programmatic interventions that may affect SUD-related harms and services; (3) Disseminate findings to multiple stakeholder communities to strengthen efforts to end SUD-related harms; (4) Critically apply principles of the ethical and responsible conduct of research. TADA will engage trainees in a comprehensive mentoring program; a 2-semester course and lab consisting of 5 “modules,” each of which pairs a specific SBS theory with an advanced data science method; journal clubs; dissertation workshops; $5000 dissertation grants; and research rotations at Emory, the CDC, and the Georgia DPH. We are seeking 5 funded slots across two cohorts, each with 2 years of funding, for pre-doctoral students in 4 programs (Behavioral Science, Health Policy, Sociology’s Health Track, and Clinical Psychology). TADA will extend its reach beyond funded trainees via a TADA Certificate program.

翻译后摘要：柯林斯和莱利，美国国立卫生研究院和美国国立卫生研究院的行为和社会科学研究办公室主任， 将21世纪的数据革命描述为对社会和行为科学具有潜在的“变革性” (SBS)research.技术的进化性飞跃产生了大量新颖的大数据来源： 例如，2018年，每天有5亿条微博被转发，24.8亿用户与Facebook互动。 数据革命还催化了行政数据的大规模增长，因为政府和其他 实体对其数据进行加密（例如，CDC拥有美国数十亿处方的数据）。康斯特拉 推文、帖子和行政数据的更新为SBS研究人员提供了“变革性”机会， 快速识别对健康的威胁;比以往任何时候都更全面地描述特征，并且通常是在真实的时间内- 人们兴旺、受苦和死亡的条件;并开发新的干预措施。 没有什么地方比解决21世纪的危机更迫切需要这种转变：实质性 使用障碍（SUD）。2017年，HHS宣布阿片类药物危机为国家紧急状态， 滥用阿片类镇痛药，过量致死超过70，000人，导致美国预期寿命下降。 然而，我们未能准备好下一代SBS研究人员参与这些变革- 工具。10所顶尖公共卫生学院行为与社会科学系教学大纲扫描 揭示了所需的方法课程最终与多层次和结构方程模型，几十年的历史， 方法装备不足，无法利用新出现的数据来催化终结SUD流行病的变革性方法。 由来自11个部门的45名埃默里教师支持，拟议的培训计划（TADA）将 培养21世纪世纪SBS研究人员的多样化骨干，以开发结束SUD的变革性方法 危机TADA将培养学员在道德上，批判性地无缝整合先进的数据科学 方法纳入SBS研究生命周期的SUD。学员将学习：（1）进行理论上知情 使用先进的数据科学方法研究SUD相关危害的分布和生态;（2） 进行理论研究，激励和评估政策和方案干预措施， 可能影响SUD相关危害和服务;（3）向多个利益相关方社区传播调查结果， 加强努力，以结束SUD相关的伤害;（4）严格适用道德和负责任的原则， 进行研究。TADA将让学员参与全面的指导计划;为期2学期的课程 实验室由5个“模块”组成，每个模块将特定的SBS理论与先进的数据科学相结合 方法;期刊俱乐部;论文研讨会; 5000美元的论文赠款;埃默里大学的研究轮换， 疾控中心和格鲁吉亚公共卫生部。我们正在两个队列中寻找5个资助名额，每个名额为期2年， 4个项目（行为科学，健康政策，社会学的健康轨道， 临床心理学）。TADA将通过TADA证书计划将其范围扩大到资助的学员之外。
