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.

描述(由申请人提供)：这份新的申请是为了启动贝勒医学院的药物滥用专业人员临床研究教育(CREDAP)培训计划，该计划基于之前在加州大学洛杉矶分校成功设立的CREDAP。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。这一经过广泛修订的应用程序扩大了可用的导师和研究机会，包括临床前人类药理学和药物测试(牛顿博士、德拉加尔扎博士)、脑成像和认知神经科学(莫勒博士、莱恩和斯坦伯格博士)、神经遗传学(尼尔森博士)、神经化学与成瘾相关(利特尔博士)和临床试验研究(科斯滕博士)。此外，该计划包括更广泛的机制，以确保教师和受训人员的责任，目标是始终如一地培养出能够成功竞争资金的受训人员。该计划的具体目标是：1.为学员提供对药物滥用研究和临床实践的全面了解，需要在导师的指导下进行为期两年的跨学科临床研究教育和博士后培训。2.教育学员完全有能力使用适用于药物滥用调查的实验技术，强调先进的技术、程序的可靠性和有效性。3.鼓励学员研究明确的药物滥用临床研究问题，重点放在临床试验研究上，开始他们的临床研究课程，该课程将在两年制课程之后继续进行。4.通过教学员准备报告值得在同行评议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NIH提交拨款申请，以及通过参加会议、研讨会和研讨会，使他们成为国家研究社区的一部分，从而使他们能够在那里展示研究、获得新知识和建立新的合作关系，从而使他们成为多产的临床研究人员。5.通过从代表性不足的人群，包括种族/族裔群体和妇女中确定和征求有前途的候选人的申请，增加培训方案的多样性。6.通过就可以改进的领域提供投入的正式评价工作，进一步发展和完善该方案。
