Washington University Career Development Program in Drug Abuse and Addiction

摘要 物质使用障碍是多因素的遗传和环境的贡献，这种疾病是一个 是世界范围内的主要死因来自单一学科的方法对推动科学进步有很大作用， 方法和技术的进步已经建立了越来越多的多学科的需要， 解决物质使用障碍的复杂问题的方法。将科学的潜力 推进物质使用障碍的预防和治疗的发现需要临床科学家， 可以弥合科学发现和临床护理之间的差距。K12计划的目标是培养 下一代临床科学家填补这些空白，并承担这项重要而令人兴奋的工作。到 为了实现这一目标，我们确立了三个目标： 1.扩大预防和治疗药物使用的临床科学家队伍 disorder.我们将每年资助华盛顿大学医学院的两名学者教师职位。 我们将采用以学生为中心的方法，设计一个职业发展计划， 需要和兴趣。我们将通过正式的指导提供短期和长期的指导 与来自多个学科的当地和国家教师和顾问的关系。新的援助机会 奖学金包括健康和复原力支持、职业辅导和工作/生活平衡指导。 我们致力于培养和留住来自不同背景的学者。 2.继续发展和加强K12职业发展机会，并继续保持强劲 评估和跟踪K12学者，教师，导师，课程和培训机会。 我们将通过实施在线个人职业发展计划来加强我们目前的计划， 由学者、导师和项目主管监督。研究导航员将增加对 学者在管理和开展他们的研究项目。我们会监察及评估 学者，导师，教师和培训计划使用调查，访谈和其他指标。 3.建立NIDA K12项目主任和学者的全国网络。这个全国性的财团 将作为所有NIDA K12项目总监和学者之间的沟通渠道 计划，创建一个具有共同目标的社区，旨在共享资源， 网络，并促进下一代物质使用障碍研究人员的发展。 这些目标的成功完成将导致多样化，训练有素的临床科学家数量的增加 预防和治疗药物使用障碍及其后果。

Abstract Substance use disorder is multifactorial with genetic and environmental contributions and this illness is a leading cause of death worldwide. Approaches from single disciplines have done much to advance science, and methodological and technological advances have established the need for increasingly multidisciplinary approaches to address complex questions about substance use disorder. Bringing this potential of scientific discovery to advance the prevention and treatment of substance use disorder requires clinician scientists who can bridge the gaps between scientific discovery and clinical care. The goal of the K12 program is to train the next generation of clinician scientists to fill these gaps and undertake this important and exciting work. To accomplish this goal, we have established three aims: 1. Expand the workforce of clinician scientists in the prevention and treatment of substance use disorder. We will fund two scholar faculty positions per year at Washington University School of Medicine. Using a scholar-centric approach, we will design a career development plan that will meet each scholar’s needs and interests. We will provide short-term and long-term mentorship through formal mentoring relationships with local and national faculty and advisors from multiple disciplines. New opportunities to aid the scholars include wellness and resilience support, career coaching, and guidance for work/life balance. We are committed to the training and retention of scholars from diverse backgrounds. 2. Continue to develop and enhance the K12 career development opportunities and continue robust evaluation and tracking of K12 scholars, faculty, mentors, curriculum, and training opportunities. We will enhance our current program by implementing online individual career development plans that can be monitored by scholars, mentors, and Program Directors. A Research Navigator will increase support of the scholars in managing and conducting their research projects. We will monitor and evaluate the scholars, mentors, faculty and training programs using surveys, interviews, and other metrics. 3. Establish a national network of NIDA K12 Program Directors and scholars. This national consortium will serve as an avenue of communication between Program Directors and scholars across all NIDA K12 programs, creating a community with common goals, with the intent to share resources, enhance networking, and foster the development of the next generation of researchers in substance use disorder. Successful completion of these aims will result in increased numbers of diverse, well-trained clinician scientists in the prevention and treatment of substance use disorder and its consequences.
