DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We seek to renew our postdoctoral Interdisciplinary Training in Biobehavioral Pain Research Program at the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions (JHMI). Pain is one of the most common symptoms in our society, a highly complex phenomenon including emotional and cognitive responses in concert within the neurophysiologic and genetic milieu of the organism. The treatment of pain remains inadequate in almost every clinical situation and, as a result, demands the training of the next generation of interdisciplinary pain researchers to address the challenge of developing, evaluating, disseminating, and integrating effective pain treatments into clinical care. The overarching goal of the proposed postdoctoral program is to prepare fellows to work cooperatively within an interdisciplinary research team to address the complex problem of pain. This renewal effort of the Program proposes to emphasize the neuroscience of pain throughout the training of all fellows. Each faculty mentor is actively funded, engaged in the education and training of young investigators, and committed to interdisciplinary collaboration. The Program incorporates both required and elective coursework, mentored research experiences in at least two areas of expertise in addition to the individual integrated research project, extramural grant application, and the writing and publishing of papers. The objectives are: (1) to understand broad conceptualizations of pain including, but not limited to cognitive, emotional, behavioral, social and neuron-biologic processes; (2) to develop an enhanced foundation in the neuroscience of pain; (3) to develop skills for comrpunicating, networking and collaborating with scientists in other disciplines; (4) to design and conduct an integrative study of pain as a primary symptom; and (5) to develop a career plan for an integrative program of research in the area of pain. Each fellow is to be collaboratively mentored by two Core faculties, each representing a different area of expertise in behavioral or social science, neuroscience or clinical research. The JHMI campus provides a rich array of existing training programs with which fellows can interact. Our goal is to prepare the next generation of pain scientists to lead interdisciplinary research teams addressing the problem of pain using integrative research paradigms. RELEVANCE: Pain is one of the most common symptoms in our society, and advances in pain treatment have been disappointing at best. Given that even mild pain can impair our ability to function, developing researchers capable of leading complex studies to study the causes of persistent pain and discover better strategies for pain relief is imperative. Our goal is to prepare the next generation of pain researchers to lead this effort.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们寻求约翰霍普金斯医学机构（JHMI）生物行为疼痛研究项目的跨学科博士后培训。疼痛是我们社会中最常见的症状之一，是一种高度复杂的现象，包括在生物体的神经生理和遗传环境中协调一致的情绪和认知反应。在几乎所有的临床情况下，疼痛的治疗仍然不足，因此，需要培训下一代跨学科疼痛研究人员，以解决开发，评估，传播和整合有效的疼痛治疗到临床护理中的挑战。拟议的博士后计划的总体目标是准备研究员在一个跨学科的研究团队合作，以解决疼痛的复杂问题。该计划的更新努力建议在所有研究员的培训中强调疼痛的神经科学。每位教师导师都积极资助，从事年轻研究者的教育和培训，并致力于跨学科合作。该计划包括必修和选修课程，除了个人综合研究项目外，还包括至少两个专业领域的指导研究经验，校外资助申请以及论文的写作和发表。目标是：(1)理解疼痛的广义概念，包括但不限于认知、情感、行为、社会和神经生物学过程；(2)增强疼痛神经科学的基础；(3)培养与其他学科科学家交流、交流和合作的技能；(4)设计并开展一项将疼痛作为主要症状的综合研究；(5)为疼痛领域的综合研究项目制定职业规划。每个研究员将由两个核心学院合作指导，每个学院代表行为或社会科学，神经科学或临床研究的不同专业领域。JHMI校园提供了丰富的现有培训项目，研究员可以与之互动。我们的目标是准备下一代疼痛科学家领导跨学科的研究团队解决疼痛问题，使用综合研究范式。
