PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The Integrative Training in the Neurobiology of Addictive Behaviors Program at The University of Chicago offers training for both pre- and postdoctoral trainees in drug abuse-related research. We have an outstanding panel of core faculty trainers, who are productive researchers, with successful training credentials of both pre- and postdoctoral trainees. Their expertise and therefore their training areas, range from molecular biology, electrophysiology, pharmacology and animal models of drug addiction, to the social, behavioral and psychopharmacological aspects of human drug use, including etiology, treatment and drug policy. Our goal is to prepare the next generation of scientists to investigate the etiology, prevention and treatment of drug abuse with integrative approaches. We propose a program for 3 predoctoral and 4 postdoctoral trainees. Trainees will be supported by the Training Program for 1-3 years. Trainees obtain specialized intensive training in their `home' laboratories, but they are also exposed to the full breadth of addictions research outside their own area, from molecular to policy. In addition to their doctoral program requirements, predoctoral trainees will participate in a bi-weekly training grant seminar and a didactic course providing a broad overview of addiction (history, epidemiology, pharmacology, treatment and policy). Trainees will also participate in 20-hour rotation experiences in laboratories conducting addictions research distinct from their own expertise. The organizational structure will include an Executive Committee making overall training decisions, a Selection Subcommittee to ensure a good flow and balance of trainees, a Program and Review Subcommittee to monitor trainees' progress through the program, and an External Advisory Committee to provide expert outside consultation. The University of Chicago provides a unique environment with both a long history of interdisciplinary collaboration and recently a significant commitment to neuroscience research. This provides a rich intellectual context for trainees in drug abuse related research. To ensure that there is substantial interaction among the trainees, and between trainees and trainers, we will schedule bi-weekly meetings consisting of journal club presentations, seminars by invited speakers, and didactic classes. We will devote resources to recruiting underrepresented minorities and we will provide comprehensive training in ethical conduct of research.

项目摘要/摘要 成瘾行为神经生物学课程的综合训练 芝加哥大学为药学博士后和博士后学员提供培训 与虐待相关的研究。我们有一批优秀的核心教员培训师，他们是 富有成效的研究人员，拥有成功的博士后和博士后培训资质 实习生。他们的专长，因此他们的培训领域，从分子生物学， 电生理学、药理学和药物成瘾的动物模型， 人类吸毒的行为和精神药理学方面，包括病因学， 治疗和药物政策。我们的目标是为下一代科学家做好准备 用中西医结合方法调查药物滥用的病因及防治 接近了。 我们提出了一个计划，3名博士后和4名博士后实习生。实习生将是 由培训计划支持1-3年。学员获得专业强化培训 在他们的“家”实验室里训练，但他们也暴露在 成瘾研究在他们自己的领域之外，从分子到政策。除了他们的 博士项目要求，博士前实习生将参加两周一次的培训 培训资助研讨会和提供成瘾概论的授课课程 (病史、流行病学、药理学、治疗和政策)。受训人员还将 参与20小时轮换体验，在实验室进行上瘾治疗 研究与他们自己的专业知识截然不同。组织结构将包括一个 负责整体培训决定的执行委员会，一个遴选小组委员会，以 确保受训人员的良好流动和平衡，计划和审查小组委员会 通过该计划监测受训人员的进展，并设立外部咨询委员会以 提供专家外部咨询。 芝加哥大学提供了独特的环境，既有悠久的历史 跨学科合作和最近对神经科学的重大承诺 研究。这为与药物滥用相关的受训人员提供了丰富的知识背景 研究。确保学员之间有实质性的互动，以及 在学员和培训师之间，我们将安排两周一次的会议，由日记组成 俱乐部演讲、特邀演讲者的研讨会和教学课程。我们将致力于 资源，以招募代表性不足的少数族裔，我们将提供全面的 研究道德行为方面的培训。
