MU Alcohol Research Training Summer School (MU-ARTSS)

 描述（由申请人提供）：此R25申请R25“NIH夏季研究体验计划”，旨在开发和实施为期9周的酒精研究夏季研究计划，针对已完成两年大学教育的本科生。该计划的广泛目的是为本科生准备在健康相关的科学学科的高级培训，重点是酒精相关的研究每年7名学生将从全国申请人中抽取，重点是从STEM和生物医学学科代表性不足的少数群体中招收学生。拟议中的计划是在密苏里州-哥伦比亚大学举办的“密苏里大学酒精研究培训暑期学校”（MU- ARTSS），将包括为期一周的酒精研究密集教学讲座（涵盖概念和定义、流行病学、遗传学、神经药理学、神经生理学、个体差异、发展方法、评估和治疗等主题）。以及负责任地进行研究和人类受试者问题。这些讲座是由移动的和门诊评估，结构和功能的神经成像，酒精对人类受试者的实验室管理的实验室演示补充。在为期一周的酒精研究介绍之后，学生们将在进行酒精研究的导师实验室进行为期8周的实习。所有学生都需要制定一个项目提案，进行文献综述，进行相关的数据分析，并准备他们的项目都正式的海报演示和正式的口头演示。其他MU-ARTSS活动包括：（1）每周一次的“棕色袋子”研讨会，涵盖特定的研究技能，研究项目的持续状态更新和专业发展问题，以及（2）每周一次的“电影之夜”，其中关于酒精的经典电影跨越80多年的电影史，以帮助学生获得与他们的工作相关的临床现象的欣赏。除了MU-ARTSS的具体活动，学生将参加由本科研究的MU办公室提供的多个程序，我们称之为MU-夏季本科研究计划。在这里，学生与来自校园各地的研究教师和学生在多个地点进行互动，包括专业发展系列，在负责任的研究行为中进行更广泛的指导，严肃的讲座和课程结束海报会议。通过这种方式，MU-ARTSS学生将有机会在科学界更广泛地社会化，并欣赏自己学科以外的工作。该计划借鉴了心理科学系对酒精研究的高度重视，以及目前正在进行的大量积极的酒精研究计划。拟议的计划将扩大在研究生和博士后水平的正式酒精培训重点（目前部分支持，由T32和K 05到拟议的项目主任），从全国各地的本科生。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This R25 application for an R25 "NIH Summer Research Experience Program" proposes to develop and field a 9 week summer research program in alcohol research, targeted at undergraduate students who have completed two years of college education. The program is broadly aimed at preparing undergraduate students for advanced training in health related scientific disciplines focusing on alcohol-related research Each year seven students will be drawn from a national pool of applicants with a major emphasis in recruiting students from under-represented minority groups in STEM and biomedical disciplines. The proposed program, the "MU Alcohol Research Training Summer School" (MU- ARTSS) at the University of Missouri - Columbia, will consist of a one-week intensive set of didactic lectures on alcohol research (covering topics such as concepts and definitions, epidemiology, genetics, neuropharmacology, neurophysiology, individual differences, developmental approaches, assessment and treatment, etc.) and responsible conduct of research and human subjects issues. These lectures are supplemented by laboratory demonstrations of mobile and ambulatory assessment, structural and functional neuroimaging, and laboratory administration of alcohol to human subjects. Following the week-long introduction to alcohol research, students embark on an 8-week internship in the lab of a mentor conducting alcohol research. All students are required to develop a project proposal, conduct a literature review, conduct relevant data analyses, and prepare their project for both a formal poster presentation and a formal oral presentation. Other MU-ARTSS activities include: (1) weekly "brown bag" seminars covering specific research skills, ongoing status updates on research projects, and professional development issues, and (2) weekly "movie nights" where classic films about alcohol spanning more than 80 years of film history are shown and discussed in order to help students gain an appreciation of the clinical phenomena to which their work relates. In addition to MU-ARTSS specific activities, students will participate in multiple programs offered by the MU Office of Undergraduate Research which we refer to as the MU-Summer Undergraduate Research Program. Here students interact with research faculty and students from across campus in multiple venues including a Professional Development series, more extended instruction in the responsible conduct of research, a lecture serious, and an end-of-the-program poster session. In this way, MU- ARTSS students will have a chance to become more broadly socialized in the community of science and appreciate work in disciplines outside their own. The program draws on the Department of Psychological Science's strong emphasis on alcohol research and the large number of active alcohol research programs currently ongoing. The proposed program will expand the formal alcohol training emphasis at the graduate and postdoctoral levels (currently supported, in part, by a T32 and K05 to the proposed program director) to undergraduates from across the country.
