HIV and Substance Abuse Clinical Addiction Research and Education (CARE) Program

描述（由申请人提供）：为响应NIDA申请支持“药物滥用和成瘾研究教育补助金”的请求，本申请寻求资金，以继续，改进和扩大阿尔伯特爱因斯坦医学院（爱因斯坦）及其大学医院Montefiore医学中心的临床成瘾研究和教育（CARE）计划的成就，包括加强对艾滋病毒和药物滥用的关注。CARE项目始于2002年，其核心是为对药物滥用研究和临床实践感兴趣的医生提供博士后奖学金项目。CARE项目以爱因斯坦医学院为基础，并从爱因斯坦的流行病学与人口健康、精神病学与行为科学系以及其他纽约市机构吸引了nida资助的研究导师。除了提供必要的临床研究培训，使医生为独立的艾滋病毒和药物滥用研究人员做好准备之外，CARE项目的教师还与Montefiore医学中心的主要教育领导者合作，为内科和家庭医学住院医师以及爱因斯坦医学院的学生加强基于证据的药物滥用培训。援外援助方案在其最初的8年运作中取得了巨大成功，这一竞争性更新将在这一成功的基础上继续发展，并为艾滋病毒和药物滥用方面的研究、教育和培训创造新的机会。目前的具体目标是：1。继续、改进和扩大CARE奖学金计划的成就，这是一个创新的研究密集型奖学金计划，面向内科、家庭医学或精神病学的住院医师，并正在寻求将HIV和药物滥用研究与临床工作结合起来的职业。2. 继续、改进和扩大CARE教育计划的范围，这是一项针对蒙特菲奥雷医学中心住院医生和阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦医学院学生的药物滥用研究和临床培训计划。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In response to NIDA's request for applications to support "Research Education Grants in Drug Abuse and Addiction," this application seeks funding to continue, improve, and expand the accomplishments of the Clinical Addiction Research and Education (CARE) Program at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine (Einstein) and its University Hospital, Montefiore Medical Center, including an enhanced focus on HIV and substance abuse. The centerpiece of the CARE Program, which began in 2002, is a post-doctoral fellowship program for physicians interested in careers in drug abuse research and clinical practice. The CARE Program is based in Einstein's Department of Medicine, and draws additional NIDA-funded research mentors from Einstein's Departments of Epidemiology & Population Health and Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences, as well as from other New York City institutions. In addition to providing clinical research training necessary to prepare physicians for independent careers as HIV and substance abuse researchers, CARE Program faculty collaborate with key educational leaders at Montefiore Medical Center to enhance evidence-based substance abuse training for residents in Internal and Family Medicine, and for Einstein medical students. The CARE Program has been highly successful in its first eight years of operation, and this competitive renewal will build on that success and create new opportunities for research education and training in HIV and substance abuse. The current specific aims are: 1. to continue, improve, and expand the accomplishments of the CARE Fellowship Program, an innovative research-intensive fellowship program for physicians who have completed residencies in Internal Medicine, Family Medicine, or Psychiatry and are seeking careers that combine HIV and substance abuse research and clinical work. 2. To continue, improve, and expand the scope of the CARE Educational Program, an enhanced substance abuse research and clinical training program for residents at Montefiore Medical Center and students at Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
