DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In this proposal, we describe a collaborative, predoctoral interdisciplinary training program that will produce scholars who will receive rigorous grounding in an academic discipline (health economics, policy analysis, or organizational theory) and who will acquire extensive training and research experience in addiction. The proposal builds on the considerable strengths of current teaching, clinical, and research enterprises at Yale University. We link state-of-the-art methods with some of the nation's leading clinical and research experts in addiction. The primary focus will be on illicit drugs, tobacco and HIV/AIDS as a critical comorbidity occurring with HIV/AIDS. Our request for the next 5 years is for 4 predoctoral positions. Students will enroll in a well-established PhD program in the Health Policy and Administration (HPA) division at Yale School of Public Health. Students will be trained through formal classes, seminars, and mentored research. Each student will be required to obtain expertise in a disciplinary area: health economics, policy analysis or organizational theory, as well as econometrics and biostatistics. Ethical conduct is taught and required for the trainees. They will also learn about addiction in the Division of Substance Abuse (DSA) in Psychiatry at the Yale School of Medicine, as well as through an integrative course taught by Dr. Sindelar. Students will attend existing comprehensive addiction research seminars in DSA and participate in an expanded version of a current course on addiction policy offered by Dr. Sindelar. Two seminars in health services research in HPA will also be required. This curriculum will uniquely prepare students for a career in addiction health services research. Faculty mentors on this proposal have outstanding productivity in research, external funding, teaching, mentoring and training predoctoral and postdoctoral fellows. Many have long-term, productive collaborations with each other through research centers. Thirty mentors have been selected primarily from HPA and DSA. Trainees will be required, and have ample opportunities, to apply their interdisciplinary training to ongoing research in substance abuse treatment, addiction health services research and policies applied to addiction. By attracting a diverse group of high-quality, motivated, predoctoral trainees and providing them in-depth training, excellent mentoring and a rich, interdisciplinary research environment, we expect to produce the next generation of experts in addiction health economics, health services research, and policy analysis. Trainees will produce research that is policy-oriented, population-based and addresses both prevention and treatment, with a goal of improving lives of addicted individuals and reducing the negative impact of addiction on society. Note that while there are multiple training programs at Yale, there is no doctoral-level training program at Yale focused specifically on health economics, policy analysis, and organizational theory as applied to addicted populations.

描述（由申请人提供）：在本提案中，我们描述了一个合作的，博士前跨学科的培训计划，将产生学者谁将在一个学科（卫生经济学，政策分析，或组织理论）接受严格的接地，谁将获得广泛的培训和成瘾研究经验。该提案建立在耶鲁大学当前教学，临床和研究企业的相当大的优势之上。我们将最先进的方法与一些全国领先的成瘾临床和研究专家联系起来。主要重点将是非法药物、烟草和艾滋病毒/艾滋病，因为这是与艾滋病毒/艾滋病同时发生的一种严重并发症。我们对未来5年的要求是4个博士前职位。 学生将参加耶鲁大学公共卫生学院卫生政策与管理（HPA）部门的一个完善的博士课程。学生将通过正式课程，研讨会和指导研究进行培训。每个学生都需要获得一个学科领域的专业知识：卫生经济学，政策分析或组织理论，以及计量经济学和生物统计学。道德行为是教导和要求受训人员。他们还将在耶鲁大学医学院精神病学药物滥用（DSA）部门学习成瘾，以及通过Sindelar博士教授的综合课程。学生将参加DSA现有的综合成瘾研究研讨会，并参加由Sindelar博士提供的成瘾政策现行课程的扩展版本。还需要在HPA举办两次卫生服务研究研讨会。该课程将为学生在成瘾健康服务研究方面的职业生涯做好独特的准备。 该提案的教师导师在研究，外部资金，教学，指导和培训博士前和博士后研究员方面具有出色的生产力。许多人通过研究中心彼此进行长期、富有成效的合作。主要从HPA和DSA挑选了30名导师。将要求受训者并有充分的机会将其跨学科培训应用于正在进行的药物滥用治疗研究、成瘾保健服务研究和适用于成瘾的政策。 通过吸引高素质，积极，博士前学员的多元化群体，并为他们提供深入的培训，优秀的指导和丰富的跨学科研究环境，我们希望产生成瘾健康经济学，卫生服务研究和政策分析的下一代专家。受训人员将进行以政策为导向、以人口为基础的研究，并解决预防和治疗问题，目标是改善成瘾者的生活，减少成瘾对社会的负面影响。请注意，虽然耶鲁大学有多个培训项目，但耶鲁大学没有专门针对成瘾人群的健康经济学，政策分析和组织理论的博士级培训项目。
