Project Summary Neuroscience research and training have seen tremendous growth in recent years. Of note, this progress has extended into the study of psychiatric disorders, which has increased our knowledge around the neurobiology and mechanisms underlying drug use and addiction. Nonetheless, this growth has not translated into training opportunities for historically marginalized groups, including ethnic minorities, people from economically disadvantaged groups and people with disabilities. These disparities in training, mentoring and education are particularly concerning for the study of addiction, as the harms related to drug use and addiction disproportionally affect minority and underserved communities. Thus, it remains critically important that our mentoring of the next generation of neuroscientists is reflective of all the diverse groups in our society. We recognize that research experience is not only a key factor in bolstering awareness and interest in neuroscience careers, but also in the admittance and successful completion of neuroscience PhD programs. Furthermore, we believe that the historic underrepresentation of marginalized groups in neuroscience stems, in part, from a lack of research opportunities in these groups during their undergraduate education. Thus, the primary objective of the University of Washington Substantial Opportunities in Addiction Research (UW-SOAR) Doctoral Readiness Program is to close this gap of training by providing diverse groups with a mentored research experience in a world-class neuroscience laboratory in the UW NAPE (Neurobiology of Addiction, Pain and Emotion) Center. This experience will be coupled to unique educational and professional development opportunities to facilitate their recruitment and success in neuroscience doctoral programs. To achieve this goal, our program aims to 1) increase representation across multiple dimensions of difference (race, ethnicity, gender, sex, geography, ability, etc.) among postbaccalaureate researchers to improve the quality and diversity of science, 2) advance the matriculation and retention of diverse groups of trainees in Neuroscience PhD programs, and 3) determine the effectiveness of the SOAR program through an evaluation process.

项目摘要 近年来，神经科学研究和培训已有巨大的增长。值得注意的是，这 进步已经扩展到精神疾病的研究，这增加了我们的知识 围绕药物使用和成瘾的神经生物学和机制。尽管如此，这个 增长尚未转化为历史边缘化群体的培训机会，包括 少数族裔，来自经济不满的群体和残疾人的人。 这些培训，指导和教育方面的差异尤其与研究有关 成瘾，因为与毒品使用和成瘾有关的危害对少数群体和 服务不足的社区。因此，我们对下一个的指导至关重要 一代神经科学家反映了我们社会中所有不同群体。我们认识 研究经验不仅是增强对意识和兴趣的关键因素 神经科学的职业，也是神经科学博士的入学和成功完成 程序。此外，我们认为边缘化群体的历史性不足不足 在神经科学词根中，部分原因是这些群体中缺乏研究机会 本科教育。因此，华盛顿大学的主要目标是实质性的 成瘾研究的机会（UW-SOAR）博士准备计划是结束此事 通过为各个团体提供世界一流的指导研究经验，培训差距 UW Nape（成瘾，疼痛和情感）中心的神经科学实验室。 这种经验将与独特的教育和专业发展机会相结合 促进他们在神经科学博士课程中的招聘和成功。实现这一目标 目标，我们的计划的目的是1）增加差异多个维度的表示 （种族，种族，性别，性别，地理，能力等） 改善科学的质量和多样性，2）提高多样化的入学和保留 神经科学博士课程的学员组，3）确定 通过评估过程飙升计划。
