DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This revised application for a MIDARP program at Howard University describes a mentoring program in drug abuse research and AIDS prevention in communities of color, which is designed to increase the capacity of faculty and students at Howard to conduct rigorous and competitive research in the prevention of drug abuse and HIV/AIDS in communities of color. The program will emphasize training in transdisciplinary research on relationships between environmental stress, biological responses, risk behaviors and health outcomes and will utilize collaborations with senior investigators in research intensive universities to mentor Howard faculty investigators. The MIDARP will also work closely with existing programs that link Howard faculty and students to research training opportunities to (1) increase knowledge and interest in drug abuse and AIDS prevention research among faculty and students in these programs and (2) utilize the resources of these programs to expand the range of training opportunities available to MIDARP investigators and students. Howard students will be introduced to drug abuse and AIDS prevention research and career development by augmenting existing drug abuse courses in the College of Arts and Sciences and the curriculum for medical, basic science, nursing, and pharmacy students to include information on drug abuse and AIDS prevention research. They will also fund a pre-doctoral dissertation stipend and recruit students to serve as research assistants in the MIDARP pilot studies. The unique strengths of the program include the opportunity to (1) integrate education regarding drug abuse and AIDS prevention research into existing research training programs for faculty and students;(2) train individuals in diverse disciplines such as the health professions and sciences (i.e., medicine, basic sciences, pharmacy, nursing) who are less likely to pursue research careers in drug abuse and AIDS prevention research; and (3) support transdisciplinary research in drug use and AIDS prevention based on strong existing university research programs in genetics, physiology, and psychobiology. A transdisciplinary approach will be reflected in the MIDARP leadership that includes a Director who is a behavioral scientist specializing in research on environmental stress, drug use, and AIDS risk in communities of color and a Deputy Director who is an immunogeneticist with expertise in microbiology, and founding Director of the Human Genome Project at Howard University.

描述（由申请人提供）：这份修改后的霍华德大学MIDARP项目申请描述了一个有色人种社区药物滥用研究和艾滋病预防的指导项目，旨在提高霍华德大学教职员工和学生在有色人种社区预防药物滥用和艾滋病毒/艾滋病方面进行严格和有竞争力的研究的能力。该项目将强调对环境压力、生物反应、风险行为和健康结果之间关系的跨学科研究的培训，并将利用与研究密集型大学的高级研究人员的合作，指导霍华德大学的教员研究人员。MIDARP还将与现有的项目密切合作，将霍华德大学的教师和学生与研究培训机会联系起来，以(1)增加这些项目中的教师和学生对药物滥用和艾滋病预防研究的知识和兴趣，(2)利用这些项目的资源扩大MIDARP研究人员和学生的培训机会范围。霍华德大学将通过增加文理学院现有的药物滥用课程以及医学、基础科学、护理和药学学生的课程，向学生介绍药物滥用和艾滋病预防研究和职业发展，以包括有关药物滥用和艾滋病预防研究的信息。他们还将资助博士前论文津贴，并招募学生在MIDARP试点研究中担任研究助理。该计划的独特优势包括：(1)将有关药物滥用和艾滋病预防研究的教育纳入现有的教师和学生研究培训计划；(2)培训不同学科的个人，如卫生专业和科学（即医学、基础科学、药学、护理），这些人不太可能从事药物滥用和艾滋病预防研究方面的研究工作；(3)支持基于现有的强大的大学遗传学、生理学和心理生物学研究项目的药物使用和艾滋病预防的跨学科研究。MIDARP的领导层将采用跨学科的方法，其中包括一名行为科学家，专门研究有色人种社区的环境压力、药物使用和艾滋病风险；一名副主任，具有微生物学专长的免疫遗传学家，也是霍华德大学人类基因组计划的创始主任。
