DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The main objective of the interdisciplinary Prevention And Methodology Training (PAMT) program (T32 DA017629) is to produce two types of well-trained scientists: prevention scientists who apply the most appropriate methodology in their research and can do this even when the methodology is advanced and cutting-edge; and methodologists who understand and are committed to prevention, and who work on improving and disseminating methodology for use in prevention research. The pre- and post-doctoral training program involves the Prevention Research Center (PRC) and the Methodology Center (MC) at Penn State, and the Departments of Human Development and Family Studies, Biobehavioral Health, and Communication Arts & Sciences. PAMT has successfully trained 26 productive scientists since its inception: twenty were funded by the T32 and six through matching funds provided by Penn State. The PAMT program seeks five more years of funding for several reasons. First, during its five years, due to the high visibility of both the MC and PRC and the role of Penn State in prevention research, we have attracted a very bright and diverse group of early career scientists who have been very productive during this period: six have been awarded individual NRSAs; 89 articles have been published in prestigious journals; and 122 presentations have been made at national conferences. Second, the PAMT program is positioned to meet a critical set of training needs that have been identified as central to NIDA's portfolio and the nation's needs in prevention research as identified in two new, prominent reports: Preventing Mental, Emotional, and Behavioral Disorders Among Young People: Progress and Possibilities (IOM, 2009); and a review committee report from the NIDA Council on the NIDA prevention research portfolio (NIDA, 2009), which recommended increasing both research and training related to the interface of methodology and prevention science The PAMT program is specifically designed to facilitate this interface; each PAMT fellow works closely with two mentors--one who specializes in prevention and one who specializes in methods--to assure that fellows simultaneously address both applied aspects of prevention and basic issues in methods. Most mentors have active NIH grants, ensuring that the fellows are working on issues related to public health that are both current and meet high scientific rigor. Thus the mentoring and training program established in PAMT propels young scientists to address research questions in substance abuse prevention as a result of engaging in methodology training in the field of prevention research.

描述（由申请人提供）：跨学科预防和方法论培训（PAMT）项目（T32 DA017629）的主要目标是培养两类训练有素的科学家：一是在研究中应用最合适的方法，即使方法是先进的和前沿的，也能做到这一点的预防科学家；以及了解并致力于预防的方法学家，他们致力于改进和传播用于预防研究的方法。博士前和博士后培训项目包括宾夕法尼亚州立大学预防研究中心（PRC）和方法论中心（MC），以及人类发展和家庭研究、生物行为健康和传播艺术与科学系。自成立以来，PAMT已成功培养了26名富有成效的科学家：20名由T32资助，6名由宾夕法尼亚州立大学提供配套资金。PAMT项目寻求5年以上的资金支持有几个原因。首先，在五年的时间里，由于MC和PRC的高知名度以及宾夕法尼亚州立大学在预防研究中的作用，我们吸引了一群非常聪明和多样化的早期职业科学家，他们在这段时间里非常富有成效：六人获得了个人nrsa；在知名期刊发表论文89篇；在国家级会议上做了122次报告。其次，PAMT项目的定位是满足一系列关键的培训需求，这些需求已被确定为NIDA投资组合的核心，以及两份新的重要报告中确定的国家预防研究需求：预防年轻人的精神，情感和行为障碍：进展和可能性（IOM, 2009）；以及NIDA理事会关于NIDA预防研究组合的审查委员会报告（NIDA, 2009），该报告建议增加与方法和预防科学界面相关的研究和培训。PAMT计划专门为促进这种界面而设计；每位PAMT研究员与两位导师密切合作——一位专门研究预防，另一位专门研究方法——以确保研究员同时处理预防的应用方面和方法中的基本问题。大多数导师都有美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）的积极资助，确保研究员从事与公共卫生相关的问题，这些问题既是当前的，又是符合高度科学严密性的。因此，PAMT建立的指导和培训方案推动青年科学家通过参与预防研究领域的方法培训来解决药物滥用预防方面的研究问题。
