Addiction to alcohol, tobacco and drugs have a considerable economic and social impact on society in the UK and internationally. In addition concerns are growing about gambling, now classified as a behavioural addiction. Despite awareness of the magnitude of associated harms, the amount of evidence to address them can be limited compared to other physical and mental health disorders. Academic psychiatry has been at the forefront of the development of addiction research in the last 30 years and the UK has made key contributions to the international evidence base as well as contributing to NHS service development and national policy on addictions. Currently however in the UK there are only 7 professors in addictions with a background in clinical psychiatry or clinical psychology and all will have retired or be near retirement within the next decade. The majority of psychiatrists and psychologists do not get any experience working in an addiction service during their training or if they do, it is towards the end. Therefore opportunities of a career in clinical academic addiction are rarely presented with the result that there are very few existing potential candidates to become the future UK clinical research leaders in addiction. Consequently, there is a need to kick start clinical addiction research in order both to sustain capacity in this vital area of clinical neuroscience. To meet such a need, the MRC Addiction Research Clinical Training (MARC) programme has been developed by bringing together the clinical addiction research expertise in three leading Universities, Imperial College London (IC), King's College London (KCL) and University of Bristol (UoB)). These three internationally renowned mental health and addiction researchers and their Universities can provide expertise in a broad range of techniques including neurosciences, genetics, epidemiology and clinical research as well excellent post-graduate education and training. MARC's initiatives will attract and mentor outstanding clinical trainees to addiction early in their career, support outstanding individuals to undertake research training for a PhD and support individuals with a PhD to establish their career with independent funding in order to build and sustain capacity in this vital area of clinical neuroscience, addiction. Research from the MARC programme will undoubtedly improve understanding of the nature of addiction, its impacts on public health, and methods to reduce the harm through development of more effective prevention, treatment and public policy approaches in addiction.

酒精、烟草和毒品成瘾对英国和国际社会产生了相当大的经济和社会影响。此外，人们越来越担心赌博，现在被列为一种行为成瘾。尽管意识到相关危害的严重性，但与其他身心健康障碍相比，解决这些问题的证据数量可能有限。在过去的30年里，学术精神病学一直处于成瘾研究发展的最前沿，英国为国际证据基础做出了重要贡献，并为NHS服务发展和国家成瘾政策做出了贡献。然而，目前在英国，只有7名教授具有临床精神病学或临床心理学背景，他们都将在未来十年内退休或接近退休。大多数精神科医生和心理学家在他们的培训期间没有获得任何在成瘾服务中工作的经验，或者如果他们这样做了，那就快结束了。因此，临床学术成瘾的职业机会很少，结果是很少有潜在的候选人成为未来英国成瘾临床研究的领导者。因此，有必要启动临床成瘾研究，以维持临床神经科学这一重要领域的能力。为了满足这一需要，MRC成瘾研究临床培训（MARC）方案已经制定，汇集了三所主要大学，帝国理工学院伦敦（IC），伦敦国王学院伦敦（KCL）和布里斯托大学（UoB）的临床成瘾研究专业知识。这三位国际知名的心理健康和成瘾研究人员及其大学可以提供广泛的技术专业知识，包括神经科学，遗传学，流行病学和临床研究以及优秀的研究生教育和培训。MARC的举措将吸引和指导优秀的临床实习生在职业生涯的早期就成瘾，支持优秀个人进行博士学位的研究培训，并支持拥有博士学位的个人通过独立资助建立自己的职业生涯，以建立和维持临床神经科学这一重要领域的能力，成瘾。MARC计划的研究无疑将提高对成瘾性质的理解，其对公共健康的影响，以及通过制定更有效的预防，治疗和成瘾公共政策方法来减少危害的方法。
