Research training in drug abuse/HIV prevention: closing the research-practice gap

 描述（由申请人提供）：本拟议的T32旨在提供药物滥用/艾滋病毒预防方面的研究培训，以缩小预防科学现有证据基础与现实环境中提供的干预措施之间的差距。也就是说，我们提供实施科学研究方面的培训，这是在现实世界环境中增加采用循证药物滥用预防/减少艾滋病毒风险干预措施所必需的。我们寻求培养3名博士后和3名高级博士前研究员，为期两年。核心培训教师来自亚利桑那州立大学（ASU）心理学系（包括其预防研究中心和REACH研究所）和社会与家庭动态学院。附属培训教师来自亚利桑那州立大学商学院、工程学院、卫生保健提供科学学院、护理和健康创新学院、生物医学信息学系和马约诊所。该计划由国家执行科学专家组成的外部培训学院和由服务提供环境（学校，法院，医疗保健和精神卫生保健环境）的决策领导人组成的社区咨询委员会指导。培训包括药物滥用和实施科学必修课程、一次持续培训研讨会（包括道德和职业发展培训）和一次艾滋病毒风险讲习班。这些必要的教学组件与指导研究学徒量身定制的计划相结合。培训教师进行许多NIH资助的项目，其中合作研究团队设计，实施和评估自然服务提供环境中基于理论的预防性干预措施，并研究与成功计划摄取相关的实施科学问题。通过教学课程和研究学徒的这种组合，学员获得设计实施干预措施，文化适应模式，基于社区的参与性研究，参与提供者和参与者，培训提供者，测量自然环境中的实施成果和参与者成果的技能，考虑环境因素，使用技术进行方案交付，并衡量成本和效益。亚利桑那州立大学REACH研究所是一个独特的培训资源，它侧重于实施科学，包括大规模实施。“我们计划的其他独特优势包括广泛的教师专业知识和培训机会，在定量方法和研究方法与文化多样的人口。我们的学员的研究贡献将增加在真实的世界实践中采用循证干预措施，帮助实现其在人口层面的公共卫生影响。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposed T32 seeks to provide research training in drug abuse/HIV prevention that reduces the gap between the existing evidence base in prevention science and the interventions that are delivered in real-world settings. That is, we provide training in the implementation science research that is needed to increase adoption of evidence-based drug abuse prevention/HIV risk reduction interventions in real-world settings. We seek to train 3 post-doctoral and 3 advanced pre-doctoral fellows for a two-year period. Core training faculty are drawn from the Arizona State University (ASU) Department of Psychology (including its prevention research center and REACH Institute) and School for Social and Family Dynamics. Affiliated training faculty are from the ASU Colleges of Business, Engineering, Science of Health Care Delivery, Nursing and Health Innovation, Department of Biomedical Informatics, and Mayo Clinic. The program is guided by an External Training Faculty of national experts in implementation science and a Community Advisory Board composed of decision leaders from service delivery settings (schools, courts, health care, and mental health care settings). Training consists of required courses in drug abuse and implementation science, an ongoing training seminar (including training in ethics and career development), and a workshop on HIV risk. These required didactic components are combined with a tailored program of mentored research apprenticeships. Training faculty conduct numerous NIH-funded projects in which collaborative research teams design, implement, and evaluate theory-based preventive interventions in natural service delivery settings and study the implementation science questions related to successful program uptake. Through this combination of didactic coursework and research apprenticeships, trainees acquire skills in designing interventions for implementation, models of cultural adaptation, community-based participatory research, engaging providers and participants, training providers, measuring implementation outcomes and participant outcomes in natural settings, considering contextual factors, using technology for program delivery, and measuring costs and benefits. A unique training resource is the ASU REACH Institute, which focuses on implementation science, including implementation "at scale." Other unique strengths of our program include extensive faculty expertise and training opportunities in quantitative methods and in research methods with culturally diverse populations. The research contributions of our trainees will increase the adoption of evidence-based interventions in real world practice, helping to realize their public health impact at the population level.
