Advancing the Next Generation: Mentoring and Pilot Papers

布兰代斯/哈佛中心更新的试点/指导核心以提高系统性能 药物使用障碍治疗研究所将继续推进成瘾健康服务研究领域 通过鼓励、培养和支持有兴趣进行创新研究的研究人员 与 SUD 治疗服务的交付和付款相关。这个新核心的活动将集中于早期 职业研究者（博士生、博士后研究员、早期职业教师/研究人员），但也将 使职业中期和高级研究人员受益。关键要素将包括指导计划、网络 活动和教育机会，包括新的布兰代斯/哈佛大学卓越系统中心 绩效学者计划。此外，中心还将继续支持重要领域的发展。 新研究，扩大对早期职业研究人员的奖励，以开发受指导的“试点”论文或小型论文 将推动该领域科学发展并作为其研究议程的基础工作的研究。 此外，中心的更新将有意识地将重点放在指导中的种族/民族多样性外展上 扩大该领域的视角范围并支持成瘾健康服务研究事业 代表性不足的人群。 试点/指导核心的目标是：1) 扩大指导、网络和教育机会 适合有兴趣在该领域进行研究的种族/民族多样化的早期职业调查员 与中心主题相关的； 2）通过提供早期机会来继续推进该领域 职业研究者通过资助开发与中心主题相关的新的、前沿的研究想法 试点文件。试点/指导核心将与研究核心协同工作，以进一步促进合并 旨在推进科学发展和培养下一代成瘾服务研究人员。的 重建中心已做好准备，在现有中心取得成功的基础上推进这些双重目标。我们的 注重指导和培训将使中心能够提供正式和非正式的经验， 导致 SUD 交付和支付系统研究的扩展以及支付领域的拓宽 研究人员正在研究这些重要问题。通过所创造的指导和交流机会， 该中心将为中心内外的思想交流提供论坛，并将其纳入 未来的研究。这些活动将有助于扩大和推进成瘾健康服务领域 研究并建立由早期职业和高级研究人员组成的强大、多样化的网络，他们将合作 解决该领域最棘手的研究问题。

The Pilot/Mentoring Core for the renewal of the Brandeis/Harvard Center to Improve System Performance of Substance Use Disorder Treatment will continue to advance the addiction health services research field by encouraging, developing, and supporting investigators who are interested in conducting innovative research related to delivery and payment of SUD treatment services. The activities of this new Core will focus on early career investigators (doctoral students, post-doctoral fellows, early career faculty/researchers), but also will benefit mid-career and senior researchers. Key elements will include mentoring programs, networking activities, and educational opportunities, including a new Brandeis/Harvard Center of Excellence Systems Performance Scholars Program. In addition, the Center will continue to support the development of important new research by expanding awards to early career investigators to develop mentored “pilot” papers or small studies that will advance the science in this area and serve as foundational work for their research agendas. Additionally, the Center renewal will have an intentional focus on racial/ethnic diversity outreach in mentoring to expand the range of perspectives in the field and to support the addiction health services research careers of underrepresented populations. The aims of the Pilot/Mentoring Core are to: 1) expand mentoring, networking, and educational opportunities for a racially/ethnically diverse array of early career investigators interested in conducting research in areas related to the theme of the Center; and 2) continue to advance the field by offering opportunities for early career investigators to develop new, cutting-edge research ideas related to the Center theme through funded pilot papers. The Pilot/Mentoring Core will work synergistically with the Research Core to further the combined aims of advancing the science and developing the next generation of addiction services researchers. The renewal Center is well poised to advance these dual goals building on successes in the current Center. Our focus on mentoring and training will allow the Center to provide both formal and informal experiences that will lead to the expansion of research on SUD delivery and payment systems and a broadening of the field of researchers working on these important issues. Through the mentoring and networking opportunities created, the Center will provide forums for the exchange of ideas, both to and from the Center, to be incorporated into future research. These activities will serve to expand and advance the field of addiction health services research and create strong, diverse networks of early career and senior investigators who will collaborate to address the most vexing research questions in the field.
