项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal requests a new research education program in substance use disorders to support undergraduate students pursuing short term summer research experiences at the Medical University of South Carolina. Each year, fourteen undergraduate students will have the opportunity to conduct biomedical research projects under the guidance of faculty mentors based primarily in the Department of Neurosciences. The ten- week summer research projects conducted by the students will culminate in a formal scientific presentation. Additional activities include a lecture series on focused topics; a research ethics component; formal and informal discussions on the meaning of scientific literacy, professional development and career opportunities; and social functions. Our participating faculty constitutes a highly collaborative, interdisciplinary team of laboratory-based researchers. Training opportunities are thematically organized around four areas of research: neurobiological basis of cocaine relapse; neurobiology of methamphetamine dependence; sex and gender- related research in substance use disorders; and stress and substance use disorders. The program builds upon and leverages (1) MUSC's strong and continued commitment to research training; (2) its excellent reputation in providing meaningful research experiences for talented undergraduate students; (3) its track record of attracting students from underrepresented groups and undergraduate institutions, and (4) its effective program management.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案要求采用新的研究教育计划，以支持南卡罗来纳州医科大学的短期夏季研究经验的本科生。每年，在主要基于神经科学系的教师导师的指导下，有14名本科生将有机会在教师导师的指导下进行生物医学研究项目。学生进行的十周夏季研究项目将在正式的科学演讲中达到最终形式。其他活动包括有关重点主题的讲座；研究伦理成分；关于科学素养，专业发展和职业机会的含义的正式和非正式讨论；和社会功能。我们的参与教师构成了一个高度合作的，基于实验室的研究人员的跨学科团队。培训机会是围绕四个研究领域的主题组织的：可卡因复发的神经生物学基础；甲基苯丙胺依赖性的神经生物学；性和性别相关的药物使用障碍研究；以及压力和物质使用障碍。该计划基于（1）MUSC对研究培训的坚定而持续的承诺；（2）在为才华横溢的本科生提供有意义的研究经验方面，其声誉卓著；（3）其吸引代表性不足的团体和本科机构的学生以及（4）其有效计划管理的记录。
