 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This renewal application requests continued support for the Postdoctoral Research Training Program in Substance Abuse Prevention at Yale University. The host site for the program will continue to be the Division of Prevention and Community Research in the Yale Department of Psychiatry, along with two primary partner sites in Psychiatry: the Yale Stress Center and the Division of Addictions. In addition, the program will continue to draw on faculty in three other Yale sites: Women's Health Research at Yale, the Yale School of Public Health, and the Yale Child Study Center. Faculty have a strong track record of scholarship in substance abuse prevention and longstanding collaborations as researchers and mentors. This application builds on the success of our current training program that was originally funded by NIDA in 2005 and renewed in 2010. Our request for renewal funding is based on the continuing demand for advanced training in rigorous, interdisciplinary, community-based translational research focused on substance abuse prevention. An expanded emphasis in this renewal is a focus on translation of neurobiological mechanisms of substance abuse and addiction into the development of community-based preventive interventions. The program trains 6 postdoctoral fellows across two years: 1) to understand substance use/abuse and related behaviors within an ecological framework that emphasizes relevant developmental, family, social, cultural, and neurobiological contexts; 2) to enhance knowledge and its application in pre-intervention, implementation, and dissemination research; 3) to learn state-of-the-art data analytic methods that incorporate rigorous field and laboratory research methods, including mixed methods; 4) to gain experience in interdisciplinary research through collaborations with scientists in other departments; and 5) to increase knowledge about the translation of research into real-world contexts so as to impact prevention practice and policy. These objectives are reinforced in didactic seminars, mentored relationships with two scientific advisors, and individually-tailored experiences based on each fellow's individual development plan. They are also consistent with NIDA research objectives and cross-cutting priorities. Over the past 9 years, the program has enrolled 27 fellows (19 have completed the program, 6 are enrolled, and 2 were recently selected), and virtually all have gone on to careers as prevention scientists. More than three-quarters are faculty in academic settings, and some are employed as prevention scientists in interdisciplinary research organizations. We have also been successful in training fellows from diverse backgrounds; 30% identify as an underrepresented racial/ethnic minority, and 11% as disadvantaged.

 描述（由申请人提供）：此更新申请要求继续支持耶鲁大学药物滥用预防博士后研究培训计划。该计划的主办单位将继续是耶鲁大学精神病学系的预防和社区研究部，沿着还有两个精神病学的主要合作伙伴：耶鲁大学压力中心和成瘾部。此外，该计划将 继续利用耶鲁其他三个地点的教师：耶鲁大学妇女健康研究，耶鲁大学公共卫生学院和耶鲁大学儿童研究中心。教师在药物滥用预防和长期合作方面有着良好的学术记录，作为研究人员和导师。该应用程序建立在我们目前的培训计划的成功基础上，该计划最初由NIDA于2005年资助，并于2010年更新。我们要求更新资金是基于对以预防药物滥用为重点的严格的、跨学科的、以社区为基础的转化研究的高级培训的持续需求。在这一更新中，一个扩大的重点是将药物滥用和成瘾的神经生物学机制转化为以社区为基础的预防性干预措施的发展。该计划培训6名博士后研究员，为期两年：1）在强调相关发展，家庭，社会，文化和神经生物学背景的生态框架内了解物质使用/滥用和相关行为; 2）提高知识及其在干预前，实施和传播研究中的应用; 3）学习最先进的数据分析方法，包括严格的实地和实验室研究方法，包括混合方法; 4）通过与其他部门的科学家合作，获得跨学科研究的经验;以及5）增加将研究转化为现实世界的知识，以影响预防实践和政策。这些目标在教学研讨会中得到加强，与两位科学顾问的指导关系，以及根据每个研究员的个人发展计划量身定制的经验。它们也符合NIDA的研究目标和跨领域的优先事项。在过去的9年中，该计划已招收27名研究员（19人已完成该计划，6人已注册，2人最近被选中），几乎所有人都已成为预防科学家。超过四分之三的教师在学术环境中，有些人被聘为跨学科研究组织的预防科学家。我们还成功地培训了来自不同背景的研究员; 30%的人认为是代表性不足的种族/少数民族，11%的人认为是弱势群体。
