DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This renewal application for an ongoing ICOHRTA program will continue to advance multidisciplinary training in substance abuse research in Poland, & expand its venue to 3 neighboring Eastern European countries. The program which focuses on clinical and prevention research will extend the successful development of research infrastructure, training, and collaboration between the University of Michigan (UM) Addiction Research Center and its Major Foreign Collaborator, the Institute of Psychiatry and Neurology (IPN) in Warsaw, established during the last 5 years. The IPN will also serve as the hub for links with other research centers in Poland, & with newly added sites in the Ukraine, Slovakia, & Latvia. Utilizing the full range of resources at the UM, this continuing 5-year program will increase the research sophistication of our Polish collaborators, and begin a parallel developmental process in nearby countries where scientific relationships already exist. The end product will include an enriched capacity for substance abuse research in this region, as well as strengthened collaborative relationships. A focused set of interlocking training experiences at different levels of intensity and career status will include the following: (a) five 1-year-long opportunities for early-career post-doctoral research fellows, including physicians, from the foreign sites to train at the UM with faculty mentors working in research areas of common interest, (b) On returning to their home countries, the Program will fund relevant pilot research protocols that the Fogarty Fellows developed while in the U.S. that parallel and extend ongoing substance abuse research at the UM. (c) An initiative is planned to make matching funds available from the government of Poland to support re-entry projects.and also reinforce host country buy-in, (d) Three intermediate-term methodology fellowships at the UM, 3 months long, for junior to mid-career researchers, will train the trainer so that a cadre of consultants in substance abuse research methodology becomes available at the foreign sites, (e) Four 2-month sojourns in the U.S. for mid-career to senior substance abuse researchers will foster new collaborations with existing Eastern European research teams, (f) A yearly 1-week long set of focused workshops, held in each of the collaborating countries on a rotating basis, & open to all levels of substance abuse scientists from graduate students to more advanced & senior researchers. Senior collaborators from the U.S. & foreign sites will also devote time during the workshop weeks to fine-tune their programs, identify new fellows, & build new collaborations, (g) Finally, two regional conferences are planned, one in Years 3 & 5, to showcase ongoing research activity and to foster the development of a regional scientific society & research network. Relevance: Substance abuse is a global health problem with most research and treatment initiatives localized to Western countries. This grant will train Eastern European colleagues to develop approaches to addiction that can better serve all countries.

描述(由申请人提供)：正在进行的ICOHRTA项目的续签申请将继续推进波兰物质滥用研究的多学科培训，并将其地点扩大到3个邻近的东欧国家。该项目专注于临床和预防研究，将扩大密歇根大学(UM)成瘾研究中心与其主要外国合作者华沙精神病学和神经病学研究所(IPN)在过去5年中建立的研究基础设施、培训和合作的成功开发。IPN还将作为与波兰其他研究中心的联系中心，并在乌克兰、斯洛伐克和拉脱维亚新增站点。利用密歇根大学的全部资源，这个持续5年的计划将提高我们波兰合作者的研究水平，并在附近已经存在科学关系的国家开始一个平行的发展进程。最终成果将包括该区域药物滥用研究的丰富能力，以及加强的合作关系。一套集中的不同强度和职业状况的连锁培训经验将包括：(A)五个为期一年的机会，供来自国外的早期职业博士后研究员，包括医生，与在共同感兴趣的研究领域工作的教师导师一起在密歇根大学接受培训；(B)回国后，该计划将资助Fogarty研究员在美国制定的相关试验性研究方案，以平行和扩展在密歇根大学进行的药物滥用研究。(C)计划从波兰政府提供配套资金，以支持重返项目，并加强东道国的参与；(D)在密歇根大学为初级至中期研究人员提供为期3个月的三个中期方法研究金，培训培训员，以便在外国地点提供一支药物滥用研究方法顾问队伍；(E)职业生涯中期至高级药物滥用研究人员在美国逗留4次，为期2个月，以促进与现有东欧研究小组的新合作；(F)每年举办一系列为期1周的重点讲习班，在每个合作国家轮流举办，向各级药物滥用科学家开放，从研究生到更高级和更高级的研究人员。来自美国和外国网站的资深合作者还将在研讨会周期间投入时间调整他们的计划，确定新的研究员，并建立新的合作关系。(G)最后，计划举行两次地区性会议，其中一次在第3年和第5年举行，以展示正在进行的研究活动，并促进地区性科学协会和研究网络的发展。相关性：药物滥用是一个全球性的健康问题，大多数研究和治疗计划都集中在西方国家。这笔赠款将培训东欧同事开发更好地服务于所有国家的成瘾方法。
