This application continues the Howard University Alcohol Research Center (HUCARC). Under the NIAAA Collaborative Minority Serving Institution Alcohol Research (CMSIAR) Program, over its first 5 years, the Center has contributed immeasurably to the expansion of alcohol research on African Americans. It has become a national resource for research on alcohol, its causes, and treatment. Through a core infrastructure and entensive collaborative arrangements with the Indiana University and University of Connecticut Alcohol Research Centers, HUCARC has been instrumental in developing and strengthening faculty investigators, advanced graduate students, post doctoral students, and professional school students in alcohol research. Under the theme, "Biological Determinants of Alcohol Action in Minority Populations," the continuation of a strong, effective program will be implemented through four distinct, but integrated components: the Administrative Core, the Scientific Research, the Science Education, and the Faculty and Research Career Development. The Administrative Core provides the organizational framework, quality control mechanisms and core research resource facilities. The Scientific Research Component will include five research projects which will focus on new, exploratory and on-going alcohol research from a multidisciplinary approach. These projects will further research on the genetics of alcoholism, the behavioral aspects of alcohol consumption, alcohol and end-organ damage, mechanisms of alcohol addiction, and alcohol nicotine interactions. The Science Education Component is designed to advance alcohol research by disseminating current information, new techniques and methodologies to a broad audience. It proposes a pre-college summer training program for disadvantaged high school students, a biennial alcohol conference, development of web-site information and other computerized information modalities, an intensive collaboration with the Howard University School of Social Work to implement an alcohol curriculum for MSW students, an educational program for physicians, medical students, and other primary care professionals, and a partnership with the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence. Community outreach activities will be continued through radio/TV broadcasts, participation in health fairs and other events. The Faculty and Research Career Development Component proposes a two-semester Alcohol Graduate Studies Course, an Alcohol Fellows Program, a grant writing workshop, a unique research collaboration with the NIAAA Intramural Research Division as well as advanced research training with the Indiana ARC. Over the next five years, the proposed activities ensure a comprehensive, effective, rigorous, and integrated program specifically directed to minority populations

该应用程序继续霍华德大学酒精研究中心（Hucarc）。根据NIAAA合作少数民族服务机构酒精研究（CMSIAR）计划的最初5年，该中心为扩大非裔美国人的酒精研究做出了无可估计的贡献。它已成为研究酒精，其原因和治疗的国家资源。通过与印第安纳大学和康涅狄格大学酒精研究中心的核心基础设施和实质性的合作安排，Hucarc一直是 在开发和加强教师研究人员，高级研究生，博士生学生和专业学校学生研究中发挥了作用。以主题为“少数群体中酒精行动的生物决定因素”，将通过四个不同但综合的组成部分来实施一个强大，有效的计划的延续：行政核心，科学研究，科学教育以及教师和教师和教师 研究职业发展。行政核心提供了组织框架，质量控制机制和核心研究资源设施。科学研究组成部分将包括五个研究项目，这些项目将重点介绍来自多学科方法的新，探索性和正在进行的酒精研究。这些项目将进一步研究酒精中毒的遗传学，酒精消耗的行为方面，酒精和 最终器官损害，酒精成瘾的机制和酒精尼古丁相互作用。科学教育部分旨在通过向广泛受众传播当前信息，新技术和方法来推动酒精研究。它提出了针对不利的高中学生的大学夏季培训计划，每两年一次的酒精会议，网站信息的开发和其他计算机信息模式，与霍华德大学社会工作学院进行密集的合作，以实施酒精 MSW学生的课程，针对医师，医学生和其他初级保健专业人员的教育计划，以及与国家酒精中毒和毒品依赖理事会的合作伙伴关系。社区外展活动将通过广播/电视广播，参加健康博览会和其他活动进行。教师和研究职业发展部分提出了一个两学期的酒精研究生学习课程，一个酒精研究员计划，赠款写作研讨会，与NIAAA校内研究部的独特研究合作以及与印第安纳州ARC的高级研究培训。在接下来的五年中，拟议的活动确保了专门针对少数群体的全面，有效，严格且综合的计划
