 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We seek to renew our postdoctoral Interdisciplinary Training Program in Biobehavioral Pain Research at the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions (JHMI). Chronic pain is one of the most common and disabling symptoms in our society. Pain is a highly complex phenomenon that involves, genetic, molecular, neurophysiologic, cognitive-emotional, and sociocultural determinants. The treatment of pain remains inadequate in almost every clinical situation and consequently demands programs to create specialized, interdisciplinary training in pain research that addresses the tremendous challenge of developing, evaluating, disseminating, and integrating effective pain treatments into clinical care. The overarching goal of the proposed postdoctoral program is to prepare the next generation of innovative research leaders to work cooperatively within an interdisciplinary team to address the complex problem of pain. To this end, we are again requesting support for four postdoctoral fellows. We expect each of these fellows to stay in the program for two years, unless they receive independent funding (e.g. an F32 grant). To encourage a diverse program, we are requesting support for two fellows (PhDs) who are in the first year of post-graduate research (PGY0), as well as two fellows who have completed their residency following medical school (PGY5). This renewal proposes to emphasize the neuroscience of pain throughout the training. Each faculty mentor is actively funded, engaged in the education of young investigators, and committed to interdisciplinary collaboration. The Program incorporates coursework and mentored research experiences in at least two scientific domains that are synthesized by: 1) an integrated research project, 2) an extramural grant application, and 3) the writing and publishing of papers. The training objectives are to: 1) develop an enhanced foundation in the neuroscience of pain; 2) engender a broad conceptualization of pain that includes, but is not limited to, neurobiologic, cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and social processes; 3) develop skills for communicating, networking and collaborating with scientists in other disciplines; and 4) design and conduct an integrative pain research project. Each fellow is to be collaboratively mentored by two core faculty with distinct domains of pain research expertise in either: 1) neuroscience, 2) clinical research and 3) behavioral or social science. Program faculty cut across the Schools of Medicine, Nursing, and Public Health. Our goal is to prepare the next generation of pain scientists to lead interdisciplinary research teams that will innovatively address the problem of pain using transformative research paradigms.

 描述(由申请人提供)：我们寻求续订我们在约翰霍普金斯医疗机构(JHMI)生物行为疼痛研究的博士后跨学科培训计划。慢性疼痛是我们社会最常见和最令人丧失能力的症状之一。疼痛是一种高度复杂的现象，涉及遗传、分子、神经生理学、认知-情绪和社会文化决定因素。疼痛的治疗在几乎所有的临床情况下仍然不充分，因此需要制定计划，在疼痛研究方面创建专门的、跨学科的培训，以应对开发、评估、传播有效的疼痛治疗并将其整合到临床护理中的巨大挑战。拟议的博士后计划的首要目标是培养下一代创新的研究领导者，以便在跨学科团队中合作解决复杂的疼痛问题。为此，我们再次请求支持四名博士后研究员。我们预计这些研究员中的每一位都将在该计划中停留两年，除非他们获得独立的资助(例如F32资助)。为了鼓励多样化的计划，我们请求为两名研究生研究第一年(PGY0)的研究员(博士)以及两名从医学院毕业后完成住院治疗(PGY5)的研究员提供支持。这一更新建议在整个培训过程中强调疼痛的神经科学。每一位教师导师都是积极资助的，致力于年轻研究人员的教育，并致力于跨学科合作。该计划包括至少两个科学领域的课程工作和受指导的研究经验，这两个领域的综合是：1)综合研究项目，2)外部赠款申请，3)论文的撰写和发表。培训目标是：1)加强疼痛神经科学的基础；2)形成对疼痛的广泛概念化，包括但不限于神经生物学、认知、情感、行为和社会过程；3)发展沟通、网络和与其他学科科学家合作的技能；以及4)设计和实施综合疼痛研究项目。每个研究员将由两个核心教师合作指导，他们在以下两个领域拥有不同的疼痛研究专业知识：1)神经科学，2)临床研究，3)行为或社会科学。该项目的教职员工横跨医学院、护理学院和公共卫生学院。我们的目标是培养下一代疼痛科学家，领导跨学科研究团队，使用变革性的研究范式创新地解决疼痛问题。
