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.

尽管NIH越来越重视跨学科的努力，但对药物滥用感兴趣的研究人员经常发现自己在学科内孤立。针对药物滥用培训中明显缺乏跨学科培训的情况，密歇根大学药物滥用研究中心于1994年由国家药物滥用研究所资助，以培训跨学科药物滥用研究的博士前和博士后研究员。这一提议代表了对我们目前跨学科培训计划的持续五年支持的请求。更新我们目前的培训计划将继续我们成功的跨学科研究-培训计划。截至1998年5月，我们已向10名博士前和10名博士后候选人授予职位。一套教学以及指导培训经验，确保我们的计划是包容性和凝聚力，但灵活的个人需求（和学科），我们的学员。鉴于NIDA资助的研究在密歇根大学的水平，我们多样化的研究教师的复杂性，以及跨学科的药物滥用研究中心（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，开发新的研究策略，推进公共话语和开发新知识。为了保持我们的培训计划足够大，以刺激充满活力的群体互动，并促进跨学科的对话，我们正在申请资助11名博士前和11名博士后研究员在五年期间（1999年至2004年）。无论学员是否是博士前候选人或博士后研究员，一旦在我们的计划所有学员预计：工作和出版与教师导师从药物滥用研究中心;每年参加12研讨会;参加研讨会系列伦理研究;并与研究人员从其他大学谁访问UMSARC每年。博士前和博士后学员必须确定导师从不同的学科，他们计划与他们在两年的培训工作。博士前和博士后培训包括：1）接触现有药物滥用研究的批判性分析（研讨会）; 3）持续讨论对文化和性别问题有敏感认识的研究战略（研讨会）; 4）有机会了解负责任的研究行为;（5）在药物滥用领域开始研究生涯（为博士前研究员）或发展额外技能，使博士后受训人员成为独立调查员。所有研究员每年都必须至少向UMSARC教师做一次研究报告。这个跨学科的培训计划为学员提供了广泛的接触到目前的药物滥用研究的全方位正在进行的多元化的教师在密歇根大学。
