DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Drug abuse is a serious problem in the U.S. that destroys families, lowers workplace productivity, contributes to spiraling healthcare costs, and causes premature deaths. As noted in a 2003 Institute of Medicine (IOM) report, far too few psychiatry residents are choosing clinical research careers. The same is true of graduate level trainees in psychology, nursing, and social work. This negative trend bodes ill for the nation, as efforts to develop more effective prevention and treatment strategies for drug abuse and other mental illnesses will be seriously hindered in years to come. To address the shortage of curricula that increase research competency for graduate students from mental health-related disciplines, the aim of this SBIR Fast-Track product development application is to create an engaging, facilitated, multimedia 2-semester course that will teach psychiatry residents and graduate-level psychology, nursing, and social work trainees the basic concepts needed to understand the scientific and practical aspects of clinical drug abuse research. Entitled Getting Started in Drug Abuse Research: A Multidisciplinary Introduction, the proposed course will fill a void in research training curricula and provide encouragement to students who might be well-suited for such a career. Phase I of this SBIR project will demonstrate feasibility and provide proof of concept by developing a comprehensive Course Outline for the entire 10-module course and producing a single web-based prototype module that includes self-assessment exercises, and a printable Instructor Guide and Student Materials. During Phase II, the remaining 9 modules will be fully developed and rigorously assessed, video introductions to all 10 modules will be produced, and all course materials will be incorporated into a sophisticated e-learning platform for storage and retrieval by instructors and students. Both qualitative and objective, quantifiable assessments will demonstrate enduring gains in knowledge and changes in attitudes. Notable features of the course include course content that is carefully evaluated by expert consultants from varied disciplines, an engaging documentary-style video component, use of a customized e-learning platform, a second-semester course module in which students are mentored as they design and conduct their own modest drug abuse research studies, and a solid commitment to ensuring that the needs of a diverse student audience are met. The proposed 10-module course will fill an important niche in the health care education market in a technologically innovative way, and will contribute to NIDA's mission of increasing drug abuse-related scientific literacy among graduate-level students from diverse health care disciplines. The proposed interactive multimedia educational unit, Getting Started in Drug Abuse Research: A Multidisciplinary Introduction, is relevant to NIDA's mission in that it increases drug abuse-related scientific research literacy among graduate-level trainees in psychiatry, psychology, nursing, and social work. The unit is also important in that it teaches and reinforces scientific thinking, increases knowledge and competency in clinical research, and encourages students to consider a career in drug abuse research. This will ultimately help to bolster the development of improved treatments and prevention strategies for drug abuse disorders.

描述（由申请人提供）：在美国，药物滥用是一个严重的问题，它会破坏家庭，降低工作场所的生产力，促进螺旋式医疗保健费用并导致早期死亡。正如2003年医学研究所（IOM）报告中所述，精神病学居民很少选择临床研究事业。心理学，护理和社会工作的研究生学员也是如此。由于在未来几年中，这种负面趋势会给国家生病，因为为制定滥用药物和其他精神疾病的更有效的预防和治疗策略的努力将受到严重阻碍。为了解决课程短缺，从与心理健康相关的学科中提高研究生的研究能力，该SBIR快速轨道产品开发应用的目的是创建一个引人入胜的，促进的，多媒体的2学期课程，该课程将教授精神病学居民和研究生级的心理学，护理，护理和社会工作，以了解基本的概念，以了解基本的概念，以了解科学和实用的科学研究。题为《药物滥用研究的入门：跨学科介绍》，拟议的课程将填补研究培训课程中的空白，并为可能在这种职业中非常适合的学生提供鼓励。该SBIR项目的第一阶段将通过为整个10模块课程开发全面的课程大纲，并生产一个基于Web的原型模块，其中包括自我评估练习以及可打印的教师指南和学生材料，并提供了一个概念证明。在第二阶段，剩余的9个模块将得到充分开发和严格评估，将对所有10个模块进行视频介绍，所有课程材料都将纳入一个由教师和学生进行的复杂的电子学习平台，用于存储和检索。定性和客观，可量化的评估都将证明知识和态度变化的持久增长。该课程的显着特征包括课程内容，这些内容由各种学科的专家顾问仔细评估，引人入胜的纪录片风格的视频组件，使用定制的电子学习平台，一个二学年课程模块，在该模块中，他们在设计并进行自己的适度毒品滥用研究的学生进行指导，并确保各种学生的需求是多样的学生受众的需求。拟议的10模块课程将以技术创新的方式填补医疗保健教育市场中的重要利基市场，并将为NIDA的使命做出促进来自不同医疗保健学科的研究生级学生中与药物滥用相关的科学素养。拟议的互动多媒体教育部门开始在药物滥用研究中入门：多学科介绍，与NIDA的使命相关，因为它可以增加与药物滥用有关的科学研究素养，从而在精神病学，心理学，护理和社会工作领域的研究生级学员中。该部门也很重要，因为它可以教授和增强科学思维，提高临床研究的知识和能力，并鼓励学生考虑从事药物滥用研究的职业。这最终将有助于加强改进的药物滥用疗法和预防策略的发展。
