DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a new application for a Mentored Quantitative Research Development Award (K25). The applicant, Douglas Steinley, a quantitative psychologist in the Department of Psychological Sciences at the University of Missouri-Columbia, proposes a period of career development and research designed to focus his skills in methodological development on pressing problems in alcohol related research. Under the mentorship of Kenneth J. Sher, Curator's Professor of Psychological Sciences at the University of Missouri-Columbia, the applicant will become familiar with theoretical and substantive issues concerning alcohol abuse and alcoholism. Additionally, the mentor will guide the candidate with respect to grantsmanship with the ultimate goal being the transition of the applicant to an independent investigator. The process includes a detailed career development plan that includes a didactic component (e.g., alcohol research related coursework and workshops) and an emersion into a provenly successful alcohol research environment (e.g., immediate integration into the mentor's lab, interaction with other faculty members in the department conducting alcohol research, promoted collaboration with the nearby Midwest Alcoholism Research Center, etc.). With respect to his research plan, the applicant plans to apply his broad based methodological developments in classification/clustering to domain specific questions concerning discovering, verifying, and validating subtypes in alcohol research. The research plan includes components for investigating cross-sectional and longitudinal relationships among alcohol use disorders in the context of co-occurring psychopathology and human development. Furthermore, methodology will be developed specifically to address problems in these areas. Using existing data sets (NIAAA's NESARC data) and data sets currently under construction by the proposed mentor, the applicant proposes to begin a research program that develops new methodology and coordinates existing, but likely unknown to alcohol researchers, methodology in the context of alcohol research. Public Health Relevance: The research is relevant to public health in that the applicant will develop new methodological techniques that are appropriate for alcohol research. Furthermore, a set of standards will be developed to validate existing results and future findings in alcohol research, providing applied researchers the ability to discern when to apply specific analytic techniques.

描述（由申请人提供）：这是一个指导定量研究发展奖（K25）的新申请。申请人，道格拉斯斯坦利，在密苏里-哥伦比亚大学心理科学系的定量心理学家，提出了一个职业发展和研究期，旨在集中他的技能，在方法发展的紧迫问题，在酒精相关的研究。在密苏里-哥伦比亚大学心理科学策展人教授Kenneth J. Sher的指导下，申请人将熟悉有关酒精滥用和酒精中毒的理论和实质性问题。此外，导师将指导候选人在granting方面的最终目标是申请人过渡到独立调查员。该过程包括一个详细的职业发展计划，其中包括教学部分（例如，酒精研究相关的课程和研讨会）和再现到一个成功的酒精研究环境（例如，立即融入导师的实验室，与系内其他从事酒精研究的教员互动，促进与附近中西部酒精中毒研究中心的合作等）。关于他的研究计划，申请人计划将他在分类/聚类方面的基础广泛的方法学发展应用于有关发现，验证和验证酒精研究中亚型的特定领域问题。该研究计划包括调查在共同发生的精神病理学和人类发展的背景下，酒精使用障碍之间的横截面和纵向关系的组成部分。此外，还将专门制定解决这些领域问题的方法。使用现有的数据集（NIAAA的NESARC数据）和数据集目前正在建设的建议导师，申请人建议开始的研究计划，开发新的方法和协调现有的，但可能未知的酒精研究，方法在酒精研究的背景下。 公共卫生相关性：这项研究与公共卫生有关，因为申请人将开发适用于酒精研究的新方法技术。此外，还将制定一套标准，以验证酒精研究中的现有结果和未来发现，为应用研究人员提供辨别何时应用特定分析技术的能力。
