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药理学和神经科学博士前和博士后培训计划。这个为期五年的计划将包括每年为 3 名博士前培训生和 3 名博士后培训生提供资助。该项目已完成2名博士前学生的培养，目前已有2名博士生获得此项资助。截至目前，已有4名博士后获得该资助；一名在一年培训后获得个人 NRSA，一名完成了计划的两年培训，两名目前正在接受培训。教师参与包括：a) 15 名培训教师，他们担任导师，目前由 NIDA 资助，或其研究项目可以提供与药物滥用问题相关的培训；b) 5 名资源教师，他们通过教学和实验室培训为该项目做出贡献。每年指定约 27,500 平方英尺的实验室空间、各种最先进的化学、生理和行为测试设备以及约 350 万美元（直接）的联邦资助研究基金用于培训教师的研究。博士前培训项目包括综合性神经药理学/神经科学教学课程，其中包括成瘾生物学课程以及整合到基础更广泛课程中的相关主题（例如，产前药物暴露的影响、成瘾治疗）。博士前培训生必须在三个实验室完成研究项目，然后才能选择导师并开发论文项目。博士前和博士后学员都必须参加年度研讨会计划，其中包括 20 名受邀演讲者的演讲，并且所有学员每年还必须参加一小时的研究研讨会。所有学员还必须参加期刊俱乐部课程，旨在教他们如何有效地发表书面研究成果以及如何批评已发表的文献。所有学员都需要接受研究道德行为方面的培训。当前和拟议的计划通过综合的教学工作计划和杰出的深入研究经验，提供了一种多方面的方法来理解药物滥用和治疗的机制。它旨在培训参与者成为独立、有道德和技术精湛的科学家，能够在药物滥用研究中做出重大贡献。博士前培训预计持续4-5年；博士后培养期限为2-3年。该计划的所有方面均由主任以及行政和培训教师执行委员会管理。
