DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application seeks support from the National Institute on Drug Abuse R25 mechanism for pre-doctoral and postdoctoral research positions, infrastructure and workshops at the Virginia Institute for Psychiatric and Behavioral Genetics (VIPBG) at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU). The overall goal of this research education program is to provide an environment for the innovative development and applications of statistical genetics methodology relevant to substance use, abuse and dependence (SUAD). Our research education program will be further developed with new courses in Statistical Innovation, Advanced Statistical Genetics, Epidemiology of Drug Abuse and Neuroscience to foster interdisciplinary research, a key component of NIDA's mission. The research education program consists of pre-doctoral and postdoctoral components. Pre-doctoral participants pursue degrees in Psychiatric, Behavioral and Statistical Genetics, Human & Molecular Genetics, Biostatistics or Computer Science. This component is designed to recruit potential future investigators to research in statistical genetics focused on SUAD. The aim is to create a cohort of PhD graduates who have been exposed to, and begun to publish research in, this area. The postdoctoral component recognizes that many promising researchers have training relevant to, but not focused on, the statistical genetics of SUAD. This flexible 2-3 year post-doctoral training component guides young investigators to this field of study and provides them with integrated training that enables them to pursue careers in statistical genetics of SUAD. Research education is intended for individuals with training in mathematics, statistics, biostatistics, genetics, psychology, computer science or pharmacology and to those who have completed their clinical requirements for the MD degree. The postdoctoral component aims to educate independent investigators who contribute to efforts to identify and characterize the genetic and environmental determinants of SUAD, its development, prevention and treatment. Accordingly we: i) Offer and carefully monitor a multidisciplinary integrated research training program with a wide range of research opportunities; ii) Meet the needs for training in emerging research areas in SUAD; iii) Provide formal education and intensive mentoring to researchers from diverse academic and ethnic backgrounds; iv) Offer a specialized curriculum that merges strengths in SUAD research at our institution with training in methodological innovation; and v) Disseminate course materials, developed software, user guides and example scripts to the wider community by teaching workshops and maintaining a website with webcasts, podcasts and script libraries.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请寻求国家药物滥用研究所R25机制的支持，用于弗吉尼亚联邦大学（VCU）弗吉尼亚精神病学和行为遗传学研究所（VIPBG）的博士生和博士后研究职位，基础设施和研讨会。该研究教育计划的总体目标是为与物质使用，滥用和依赖（SUAD）相关的统计遗传学方法的创新发展和应用提供环境。我们的研究教育计划将进一步发展，开设统计创新、高级统计遗传学、药物滥用流行病学和神经科学等新课程，以促进跨学科研究，这是NIDA使命的关键组成部分。研究性教育项目由博士前和博士后组成。博士预科学生攻读精神病学、行为与统计遗传学、人类与分子遗传学、生物统计学或计算机科学的学位。这部分的目的是招募潜在的未来研究人员在统计遗传学研究集中在SUAD。其目的是培养一批接触过这一领域并开始发表研究成果的博士毕业生。博士后部分承认，许多有前途的研究人员受过与SUAD相关的培训，但不是专注于SUAD的统计遗传学。这个灵活的2-3年的博士后培训部分引导年轻的研究人员进入这一研究领域，并为他们提供综合培训，使他们能够从事SUAD统计遗传学的职业。研究型教育是针对在数学、统计学、生物统计学、遗传学、心理学、计算机科学或药理学方面受过训练的个人，以及那些完成了医学博士学位临床要求的人。博士后组成部分旨在培养独立的研究者，他们为识别和描述SUAD的遗传和环境决定因素、其发展、预防和治疗做出了贡献。因此，我们：i)提供并仔细监督具有广泛研究机会的多学科综合研究培训计划；ii)满足新加坡科学与发展学院新兴研究领域的培训需求；iii)为来自不同学术和种族背景的研究人员提供正规教育和密集指导；iv)提供专业课程，将本机构在SUAD研究方面的优势与方法创新方面的培训相结合；v)通过举办研讨会和建立一个网站，提供网络广播、播客和脚本库，向更广泛的社区传播课程材料、开发的软件、用户指南和示例脚本。
