DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Continuation of the currently funded predoctoral and postdoctoral training program in the pharmacology and neuroscience of drug abuse is proposed. This five-year program will consist of funding for 3 predoctoral and 3 postdoctoral trainees per year. The program has already completed training 2 predoctoral students, and two are currently supported by this grant. Four postdoctoral trainees have been supported by this grant so far; one received an individual NRSA after one year of training, one completed the planned two years of training, and two are currently in training. Faculty participation is comprised of a) 15 training faculty who serve as mentors and who are either currently funded by NIDA or whose research programs can provide training relevant to drug abuse issues, and b) 5 resource faculty who contribute to the program via teaching and laboratory training. Approximately 27,500 square feet of laboratory space, a wide array of state-of-the art chemical, physiological and behavioral testing equipment, and approximately $3.5 million (direct) of federally sponsored research funds are designated annually for the research of the training faculty. The program for predoctoral trainees consists of a comprehensive neuropharmacology/neuroscience didactic curriculum which includes a course on the biology of addiction as well as related topics (e.g., effects of prenatal drug exposure, treatment of addiction) integrated into broader-based courses. Predoctoral trainees must complete research projects in three laboratories prior to choosing a mentor and developing a thesis project. Both predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees are required to attend an annual seminar program consisting of presentations by 20 invited speakers and all trainees must present a one hour research seminar annually as well. All trainees also are required to participate in a journal club course designed to teach them how to present effectively written research for publication and how to critique published literature. Training in ethical conduct of research is required of all trainees. The current and proposed program provides a multifaceted approach to understanding mechanisms of drug abuse and treatment through an integrated program of didactic work and an outstanding in-depth research experience. It is designed to train participants to become independent, ethical and skilled scientists able to make significant contributions in drug abuse research. Predoctoral training is expected to last 4-5 years; postdoctoral training duration is 2-3 years. All aspects of the program are administered by the director and an executive committee of administrative and training faculty.

描述(由申请人提供)： 建议继续目前资助的药物滥用的药理学和神经科学方面的博士前和博士后培训方案。这项为期五年的计划将包括每年资助3名博士前和3名博士后实习生。该项目已经完成了2名博士前学生的培训，目前有2名博士生正在接受这项资助。到目前为止，已有四名博士后学员获得了这笔赠款的资助；其中一人在一年的培训后获得了个人NRSA，一人完成了计划的两年培训，两人目前正在接受培训。教员参与包括a)15名培训教员，他们担任导师，目前由NIDA资助，或其研究计划可以提供与药物滥用问题有关的培训，以及b)5名通过教学和实验室培训为计划做出贡献的资源教员。每年约有27,500平方英尺的实验室空间、一系列最先进的化学、生理和行为测试设备，以及大约350万美元(直接)的联邦资助研究基金被指定用于培训教师的研究。针对博士前学员的课程包括全面的神经药理学/神经科学教学课程，其中包括一门关于成瘾生物学的课程，以及融入更广泛基础课程的相关主题(例如，产前药物暴露的影响、成瘾的治疗)。博士前实习生必须完成三个实验室的研究项目，然后才能选择导师和开发论文项目。博士后和博士后实习生都需要参加由20位受邀演讲者发表演讲的年度研讨会项目，所有受训人员还必须每年提交一小时的研究研讨会。所有受训人员还被要求参加期刊俱乐部课程，该课程旨在教会他们如何为出版提供有效的书面研究，以及如何批评出版的文学作品。所有受训人员都必须接受研究道德行为方面的培训。目前和拟议的计划提供了一种多方面的方法，通过一个综合的教学工作计划和出色的深入研究经验来理解药物滥用和治疗的机制。它旨在培训参与者成为能够在药物滥用研究中做出重大贡献的独立、道德和熟练的科学家。博士后培训时间为4-5年，博士后培训时间为2-3年。该计划的所有方面都由主任和一个由行政和培训人员组成的执行委员会管理。
