DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal is for 5 years of renewed institutional T32 NRSA support for the NIH/NIDA Drug Dependence Epidemiology Training Program (DDETP) located within Michigan State University College of Human Medicine Department of Epidemiology. DDETP founder/training program director is Professor James C. (Jim) Anthony, whose NIDA K05 Senior Scientist work between 2003 and 2010 included creation of the MSU DDETP, based upon his model for a successful DDETP at Johns Hopkins University (1990-2003), for which he received three mentoring awards. Also leading the program is Epidemiology Professor Naomi Breslau, and there is an interdisciplinary MSU faculty who represent epidemiology/biostatistics, quantitative methodology generally, clinical sciences/therapeutics, behavioral genetics, preclinical/clinical pharmacology, and allied fields (e.g., sociology, social work, family therapy). The main DDETP goal is to increase the number and quality of quantitatively adept epidemiologists and researchers in allied fields whose career commitment is toward NIDA's mission to prevent and control drug dependence syndromes and related suspected hazards of psychoactive drug use. The proposed 3 NIDA predoctoral trainees first complete 2-3 years of coursework with research apprenticeships, pass qualifying exams to establish candidacy for the PhD, and then complete 2-3 years of research before final defense of a monograph-length dissertation representing significant contributions of new scientific evidence that requires statistical estimation or formal hypothesis-testing in the NIDA epidemiology research context. The proposed 3 postdoctoral trainees at Levels 0, 3, & 7 complete an individualized program of postgraduate research training in drug dependence epidemiology, of 1-3 years duration (mostly 1-2 years), with a greater balance of time in NIDA research. Both types of trainees complete required integrity and ethics training, and work to assemble a portfolio of first-authored and co-authored articles in journals of the field, drafts of their own investigator-initiated NIDA grant award applications, and K-type career development plans, when appropriate. The program plan is designed to meet six challenges: (1) enhancing diversity outreach, (2) greater integration with MSU's new NIH clinical translational research and training initiatives, including HIV/AIDS research, (3) new educational modules on project management and on non-academic career paths toward health science and federal agency administration, small business and industry research (e.g., NIDA SBIR & STTR), (4) use of NIH and NIDA online career tracking programs, as well as online surveys to assess the mentoring process, (5) forging new solutions to a recently appreciated 'drift away' process that now detracts from post-program success in a competitive research funding environment, and (6) cultivation of a new generation of the program's Primary Advising Faculty (PAF) members in order to promote the success of the program during the proposed renewal award period and beyond.

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案旨在为位于密歇根州立大学人类医学学院流行病学系的NIH/NIDA药物依赖流行病学培训项目（DDETP）提供为期5年的T32 NRSA机构支持。DDETP创始人/培训项目主任是James C. (Jim)Anthony在2003年至2010年期间的NIDA K 05高级科学家工作包括创建MSU DDETP，基于他在约翰霍普金斯大学（1990-2003）成功的DDETP模型，他获得了三个指导奖。领导该计划的还有流行病学教授Naomi Breslau，还有一个跨学科的MSU教师，他们代表流行病学/生物统计学，定量方法学，临床科学/治疗学，行为遗传学，临床前/临床药理学和相关领域（例如，社会学、社会工作、家庭治疗）。DDETP的主要目标是增加数量和质量熟练的流行病学家和研究人员在相关领域的职业承诺是对NIDA的使命，以预防和控制药物依赖综合征和相关的可疑危险的精神活性药物的使用。拟议的3名NIDA博士前学员首先完成2-3年的研究学徒课程，通过资格考试，以建立博士候选人资格，然后完成2-3年的研究，然后在代表新科学证据的重要贡献的专著长度论文的最终辩护之前，需要在NIDA流行病学研究背景下进行统计估计或正式假设测试。拟议的3名博士后学员在0级，3级和7级完成药物依赖流行病学研究生研究培训的个性化计划，为期1-3年（主要是1-2年），在NIDA研究中有更大的时间平衡。这两种类型的受训人员都要完成所需的廉正和道德培训，并努力在该领域的期刊上收集第一作者和共同作者的文章， 他们自己的赞助商发起的NIDA补助金申请，和K型职业发展计划，在适当的时候。该计划旨在应对六个挑战：（1）加强多样性外展，（2）与密歇根州立大学新的NIH临床转化研究和培训计划，包括艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究，（3）新的教育模块项目管理和非学术职业道路健康科学和联邦机构管理，小企业和行业研究（例如，NIDA SBIR & STTR），（4）使用NIH和NIDA在线职业跟踪计划，以及在线调查来评估辅导过程，（5）为最近受到赞赏的“渐行渐远”过程制定新的解决方案，该过程现在在竞争激烈的研究资助环境中减损了项目后的成功，以及（6）培养新一代的该计划的主要顾问教师（PAF）成员，以促进该计划在拟议的续约奖励期间及以后的成功。
