DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This new application is submitted to initiate a Clinical Research Education for Drug Abuse Professionals (CREDAP) training program at Baylor College of Medicine, based on the successful CREDAP that was previously sited at UCLA. The overarching goal is to provide a coordinated, sustainable infrastructure of dedicated education and training that will produce independent healthcare professionals capable of conducting and disseminating clinical research pertaining to drug dependence and its treatment. This extensively revised application features an expansion of available mentors and research opportunities to include Pre-Clinical Human Pharmacology and Medications Testing (Drs. Newton, De La Garza), Brain Imaging and Cognitive Neuroscience (Drs. Moeller, Lane, and Steinberg), Neurogenetics (Dr. Nielson), Neurochemical Correlates of Addiction (Dr. Little) and Clinical Trials Research (Dr. Kosten). In addition, the program includes more extensive mechanisms of ensuring accountability of both faculty and trainees with the goal of consistently producing trainees that are able to successfully compete for funding. The specific aims of the program are: 1. to provide trainees with a comprehensive understanding of drug abuse research and clinical practice, entailing interdisciplinary clinical research education and training lasting two years at post-doctoral level under the guidance of preceptors. 2. To educate trainees to have full competence in using experimental techniques appropriate for the investigation of drug abuse, emphasizing advanced technologies, procedural reliability, and validity. 3. To encourage trainees to investigate a defined clinical research issue in drug abuse, with a focus on clinical trials research, starting them on a course of clinical research that will continue beyond the 2-year program. 4. To prepare trainees to become productive clinical researchers by teaching them to prepare manuscripts reporting research results that merit publication in peer-reviewed, high-quality biomedical journals, to write and submit grant applications to the NIH, and to become part of national research communities by attending meetings, seminars, and symposia where they may present research, gain new knowledge, and forge new collaborations. 5. To increase diversity in the training program through identifying and soliciting applications from promising candidates from underrepresented populations, including racial/ethnic groups and women. 6. To further develop and refine the program through formal evaluation efforts that provide input on areas that can be improved. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This revised application is submitted for continuation of the Clinical Research Education for Drug Abuse Professionals (CREDAP) training program. The overarching goal is to provide a coordinated, sustainable infrastructure of dedicated education and training that will produce independent healthcare professionals capable of conducting and disseminating clinical research pertaining to drug dependence and its treatment.

描述（由申请人提供）：这份新的申请是为了在贝勒医学院启动药物滥用专业人员临床研究教育（CREDAP）培训项目而提交的，该项目是基于之前在加州大学洛杉矶分校成功举办的CREDAP培训项目。总体目标是提供协调、可持续的专门教育和培训基础设施，培养能够开展和传播与药物依赖及其治疗有关的临床研究的独立保健专业人员。这个广泛修订的应用程序的特点是可用的导师和研究机会的扩展，包括临床前人类药理学和药物测试(博士。牛顿，De La Garza)，脑成像和认知神经科学(博士。Moeller, Lane, and Steinberg)，神经遗传学（Nielson博士），成瘾的神经化学相关（Little博士）和临床试验研究（Kosten博士）。此外，该计划还包括更广泛的机制，以确保教师和学员的问责制，目标是始终如一地培养能够成功竞争资金的学员。该计划的具体目标是：1。在导师的指导下，进行为期两年的跨学科临床研究教育和培训，使学员全面了解药物滥用研究和临床实践。2. 教育学员具备充分的能力使用适合调查药物滥用的实验技术，强调技术的先进性、程序的可靠性和有效性。3. 鼓励受训者调查药物滥用中明确的临床研究问题，重点是临床试验研究，开始他们的临床研究课程，并将在两年的课程结束后继续进行。4. 通过教受训者准备报告值得在同行评审的高质量生物医学期刊上发表的研究结果的手稿，编写并向美国国立卫生研究院提交拨款申请，并通过参加会议，研讨会和专题讨论会成为国家研究社区的一部分，使他们能够展示研究成果，获得新知识，并建立新的合作关系，从而使受训者成为富有成效的临床研究人员。5. 通过从代表性不足的人群（包括种族/民族群体和妇女）中甄别和征求有前途的候选人申请，增加培训项目的多样性。6. 通过正式的评估工作进一步发展和完善该计划，为可改进的领域提供投入。
