DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This continuation application proposes to support three pre-doctoral and three post-doctoral trainees with a faculty of 28 drawn from seven academic and research units of the University of Kentucky. The environment is rich with opportunities for bio-behavioral research in facilities such as the: 1) Center on Drug and Alcohol Research; 2) Center for Drug and Alcohol Research Translation; 3) Center for Clinical and Translational Science; 4) Laboratory of Human Behavioral Pharmacology; 5) Residential Research Facility; and 6) Straus Behavioral Research Building. During the most recent five-year funding period, we trained seven pre-doctoral students and eight post-doctoral fellows. Fourteen of these trainees remain involved in research or academics. Additional pre-doctoral trainees (2) and post-doctoral fellows (1) will be added during the final year of the current funding period. Individuals from under-represented racial and ethnic groups filled 17 percent of the available training slots. These trainees authored 129 publications and presented 90 papers at national or international conferences. The program is designed to prepare trainees to assume research responsibilities in academic, and other scientific organizations concerned with bio-behavioral aspects of drug abuse. Post-doctoral fellows will either have a doctorate in a behavioral science discipline and will be preparing for a research role in the drug abuse field, or they will be healt professionals who are seeking a behavioral science research orientation in drug abuse. Pre-doctoral trainees will concentrate in behavioral aspects of drug abuse as part of a doctoral program in a behavioral science discipline (e.g., psychology, sociology). Basic elements of the program include: (1) training in the basic building blocks of research (e.g., experimental design, data analysis) and independent research competence; (2) an interdisciplinary orientation which takes students beyond their basic discipline and provides exposure to key theoretical concepts and methodological issues of the related behavioral sciences along with a bio-behavioral conceptualization; (3) a program of enculturation and orientation to drug abuse, health and mental health settings; (4) exploration of drug abuse topics from a medical behavioral perspective through courses offered by training faculty; and (5) opportunities for research around relevant questions in drug abuse behavior constituting significant learning experiences for post-doctoral fellows and a dissertation project for pre-doctoral trainees. The post-doctoral program is individually geared to the objectives of the fellows and will build on their previous knowledge and experience, while drawing on these five core elements. We feel the need for a translational and interdisciplinary program such as the one proposed is greater today than ever before and fills a unique niche in substance abuse research.

描述（由申请人提供）：本延续申请建议支持三名博士前和三名博士后实习生，由来自肯塔基州大学七个学术和研究单位的28名教师组成。环境是丰富的设施，如生物行为研究的机会：1）药物和酒精研究中心; 2）药物和酒精研究翻译中心; 3）临床和转化科学中心; 4）人类行为药理学实验室; 5）住宅研究设施;和6）施特劳斯行为研究大楼。在最近五年的资助期内，我们培养了七名博士前学生和八名博士后研究员。其中14名受训人员仍从事研究或学术工作。在当前资助期的最后一年，将增加博士前实习生（2名）和博士后研究员（1名）。来自代表性不足的种族和族裔群体的个人占可用培训名额的17%。这些受训人员撰写了129份出版物，并在国家或国际会议上提交了90篇论文。该方案的目的是培养受训人员承担学术研究责任，以及与药物滥用的生物行为方面有关的其他科学组织。博士后研究员将拥有行为科学学科的博士学位，并将为药物滥用领域的研究角色做准备，或者他们将是寻求药物滥用行为科学研究方向的健康专业人士。博士前学员将集中在药物滥用的行为方面，作为行为科学学科博士课程的一部分（例如，心理学、社会学）。该计划的基本要素包括：（1）在研究的基本组成部分（例如，实验设计，数据分析）和独立的研究能力;（2）跨学科方向，使学生超越他们的基本学科，并提供接触的关键理论概念和相关行为科学的方法论问题，沿着生物行为概念化;（3）一个计划的文化和定向药物滥用，健康和心理健康的设置;（4）透过培训学院提供的课程，从医学行为的角度探讨药物滥用课题;及（5）提供机会，研究药物滥用行为的有关问题，为博士后研究员提供重要的学习经验，并为博士预科学员提供论文项目。博士后计划是单独面向研究员的目标，并将建立在他们以前的知识和经验，同时借鉴这五个核心要素。我们觉得需要一个翻译和跨学科的计划，如一个建议是今天比以往任何时候都更大，并填补了药物滥用研究的独特利基。
