DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this Research Institute on Addictions (RIA) program is to provide specialized postdoctoral training for individuals seeking to pursue a career in alcohol research. The proposed program focuses on providing quality research training in two primary areas; (1) etiology and course of alcohol use and misuse and (2) treatment for alcohol use disorders. The goal of the program is to produce scientists who are thoroughly trained to teach and conduct systematic research on these and related topics. The program is characterized by several strengths. First, an interdisciplinary approach is used as the framework for the training program. The Core and Associated Faculty include representation of such diverse yet complementary fields as psychology (including the subareas of social, cognitive, educational, developmental, and clinical psychology), sociology, criminal justice, social work, and the psychobiological sciences (clinical neuroscience, applied biopsychology, behavioral neuroscience). Second, the faculty are all experienced and productive researchers. All are actively involved in relevant research endeavors, and the majority are serving as Principal Investigator (PI) on federally-funded projects. Third, RIA provides a variety of supports requisite to the research training enterprise, including a specialized library, a state-of-the-art computer center, an animal care facility and associated laboratories, laboratories for human studies, and an outpatient clinical research treatment center. The faculty provides training for six postdoctoral fellows. Trainees are assigned both a primary and secondary mentor, based on their research interests. The mentors provide training in conceptualization, methodology, and ethics of research in the trainee's primary area of study. The program also includes several required seminar components: Foundations of Interdisciplinary Alcohol Research, Professional Issues and Career Development, and Grant Writing. Trainees meet semi-annually with the Training Grant Supervisory Committee and attend RIA's Seminar Series, which includes statistics workshops. RELEVANCE (See instructions); The negative social, health, and economic consequences of alcohol misuse are profound. As such, there is a need to train a new generation of researchers to further study the etiology and course of alcohol use and misuse and to develop and evaluate effective treatment interventions. This program provides postdoctoral trainees with the specialized training required to pursue such endeavors.

描述（由申请人提供）：本成瘾研究所（RIA）计划的目的是为寻求从事酒精研究的个人提供专业的博士后培训。拟议的方案侧重于在两个主要领域提供高质量的研究培训;（1）酒精使用和滥用的病因学和过程，以及（2）酒精使用障碍的治疗。该计划的目标是培养经过全面培训的科学家，以教授和进行这些及相关主题的系统研究。 该计划的特点是几个优势。首先，跨学科的方法被用作培训计划的框架。核心和相关学院包括心理学（包括社会，认知，教育，发展和临床心理学的子领域），社会学，刑事司法，社会工作和心理生物学科学（临床神经科学，应用生物心理学，行为神经科学）等多样化但互补的领域的代表。其次，教师都是经验丰富和富有成效的研究人员。所有人都积极参与相关的研究工作，大多数人都担任联邦资助项目的首席研究员（PI）。第三，RIA为研究培训企业提供各种必要的支持，包括专业图书馆，最先进的计算机中心，动物护理设施和相关实验室，人类研究实验室和门诊临床研究治疗中心。 该学院为六名博士后研究员提供培训。根据学员的研究兴趣，为他们分配一名初级和二级导师。导师在受训者的主要研究领域提供概念化、方法和研究道德方面的培训。该计划还包括几个必要的研讨会组成部分：跨学科酒精研究，专业问题和职业发展的基础，并授予写作。受训人员每半年与培训补助金监督委员会举行一次会议，并参加RIA的系列研讨会，其中包括统计讲习班。相关性（见说明）;酒精滥用的负面社会，健康和经济后果是深刻的。因此，有必要培训新一代的研究人员，以进一步研究酒精使用和滥用的病因和过程，并制定和评估有效的治疗干预措施。该计划为博士后学员提供从事此类工作所需的专业培训。
