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）：本提案要求在物质使用障碍方面建立一个新的研究教育项目，以支持在南卡罗来纳医科大学攻读短期暑期研究经验的本科生。每年，14名本科生将有机会在主要来自神经科学系的教师导师的指导下进行生物医学研究项目。学生们进行的为期十周的暑期研究项目将以正式的科学报告结束。其他活动包括关于重点主题的系列讲座；研究伦理成分；关于科学素养、专业发展和职业机会意义的正式和非正式讨论；还有社会功能。我们的参与教师构成了一个高度协作，跨学科团队的实验室为基础的研究人员。培训机会按主题围绕四个研究领域组织：可卡因复发的神经生物学基础；甲基苯丙胺依赖的神经生物学；物质使用障碍的性别及性别相关研究以及压力和物质使用障碍。该计划建立并利用了(1)MUSC对研究培训的坚定和持续承诺；(2)在为有才华的本科生提供有意义的研究经历方面享有良好声誉；(3)从代表性不足的群体和本科院校吸引学生的记录，以及(4)有效的项目管理。
