SUBSTANCE ABUSE INTERDISCIPLINARY TRAINING PROGRAM

尽管NIH对跨学科的努力给予了越来越多的关注，但对药物滥用感兴趣的研究人员经常发现自己在各自的学科中被孤立。由于明显缺乏药物滥用培训方面的跨学科培训，1994年，国家药物滥用研究所资助了密歇根大学药物滥用研究中心，以培训跨学科药物滥用研究方面的博士前和博士后研究员。这项提案代表了对我们目前的跨学科培训计划的持续五年支持的请求。我们当前培训计划的更新将继续我们成功的跨学科研究培训计划。截至1998年5月，我校已招收博士预科生10人，博士后10人。一套教学和指导的培训经验，确保我们的计划是包容和凝聚力，但灵活的个人需求（和学科），我们的学员。考虑到NIDA在密歇根大学资助的研究水平，我们多样化的研究人员的复杂性，以及跨学科药物滥用研究中心（UMSARC）的存在，我们相信我们有一个最独特的培训计划。我们的目标是跨越学科界限，考虑创新问题，制定新的研究策略，推进公共话语和发展新知识。为了保持我们的培训计划足够大，以刺激动态的小组互动和促进跨学科对话，我们正在申请资助11名博士预科和11名博士后研究员，为期5年（1999-2004）。无论受训者是博士前候选人还是博士后，一旦进入我们的项目，所有受训者都应该：与药物滥用研究中心的教师导师一起工作和发表论文；每年参加12次专业研讨会；参加“研究中的伦理”系列研讨会；并与每年来访的其他大学的研究人员进行互动。博士预科生和博士后受训者必须确定他们计划在两年培训期间与不同学科的导师一起工作。博士前和博士后培训包括：1)接触对现有药物滥用研究的批判性分析（专业研讨会）；3)对文化敏感和性别敏感研究策略的持续讨论（Proseminar）；4)学习负责任的研究行为的机会；5)开始药物滥用领域的研究生涯（适用于博士前研究员）或发展额外的技能，使博士后培训生成为独立的研究者。所有研究员必须每年至少向UMSARC教师做一次研究报告。这个跨学科的培训项目为受训者提供了广泛的机会，让他们了解密歇根大学不同学院正在进行的关于药物滥用的全面研究。

Despite the increasing attention given to interdisciplinary endeavors by NIH, researchers interested in substance abuse often find themselves isolated within their disciplines. In response to the apparent dearth of interdisciplinary training in substance abuse training, the University of Michigan Substance Abuse Research Center was funded by the National Institute of Drug Abuse in 1994 to train Pre-doctoral and Postdoctoral Fellows in interdisciplinary, substance abuse research. This proposal represents a request for continued, five-year support of our current, interdisciplinary training program. A renewal of our current training program would continue our successful interdisciplinary research- training program. As of May 1998, we have awarded positions to 10 pre- doctoral and 10 postdoctoral candidates. A set of didactic as well as mentored training experiences ensures that our program is inclusive and cohesive-but flexible to the individual needs (and disciplines) of our trainees. Given the levels of NIDA funded research at the University of Michigan, the sophistication of our diverse research faculty, and the presence of an interdisciplinary Substance Abuse Research Center (UMSARC), we believe we have a most unique training program. We aim to straddle disciplinary boundaries, consider innovative questions, develop new research strategies, advance public discourses and develop new knowledge. In order to keep our training program large enough to stimulate dynamic group interactions and to facilitate interdisciplinary dialogue, we are requesting funding for 11 pre-doctoral and 11 post-doctoral fellows over a five-year period (1999-2004). Regardless of whether the trainee is a pre-doctoral candidate or a post-doctoral fellow, once in our program all trainees are expected to: work and publish with faculty mentors from the Substance Abuse Research Center; attend 12 Proseminars each year; attend a seminar series on Ethics in Research; and interact with researchers from other Universities who visit UMSARC each year. Pre- doctoral and post-doctoral trainees MUST identify mentors from different disciplines with whom they plan to work during their two years of training. The pre-doctoral and post-doctoral training includes 1) exposure to a critical analysis of extant research on substance abuse (Proseminar); 3) an ongoing discussion of culturally sensitive and gender sensitive research strategies (Proseminar); 4) the opportunity to learn about the responsible conduct of research; and 5) the initiation of a research career in the field of substance abuse (for pre-doctoral fellows) or the development of additional skills to enable the postdoctoral trainee to become an independent investigator. All Fellows are required to give at least one research presentation to UMSARC faculty each year. This interdisciplinary training program provides trainees with wide exposure to the full spectrum of current research on substance abuse underway by a diverse faculty at the University of Michigan.
