Addiction Scientists Strengthened though Education and Training (ASSET)

项目摘要/摘要 当我们拥有多样化的研究队伍时，科学进步得更快；努力促进物质使用 研究和成瘾科学也没有什么不同。为了这一进步，并响应PAR-19-246， 我们建议通过教育和培训(ASSET)计划加强成瘾科学家 旨在提高不同成瘾科学家队伍的长期参与度，以满足日益增长的美国。 需要有效预防和治疗药物使用障碍。将指导的资产核心教员 受训者本身就是物质使用研究的不同领导者，从基础科学家到临床 从研究人员到公共卫生研究人员。我们共同处于有利地位，可以培养未来在 成瘾科学，那些自己将被授权和激励提供教育、指导的领导者 以及培训，从代表不足的群体中培养未来的成瘾科学家。我们建议的资产 该计划将利用现有的圣地亚哥州立大学(SDSU)、加州大学圣地亚哥分校(UCSD) 教育资源和培训能力，以及核心教师的指导，以支持博士后 研究员、成瘾精神病学临床研究员和初级教员在他们的专业成长中成为 独立的物质使用/成瘾科学家和临床研究人员。我们的计划将包括两个级别的 “指导导师”部分，教师导师将在这里会面，讨论他们的指导经验 并在磨练不同学员的指导技能方面相互指导。受训者自己将发展技能 克服研究生涯发展中常见的障碍。我们的资产计划将为学员提供一支 经验丰富的多样化导师，加上有针对性的培训、研究和实习计划 资助机会侧重于物质使用和成瘾科学。我们的具体目标是：1. 制定一个短期(10周)的实习计划(ASSET)，包括跨学科研究和职业发展 为URM博士后研究员、临床成瘾精神病学研究员和初级教员提供发展培训 (受训人员)有志成为成瘾研究的独立研究人员；2.为URM受训人员提供 研究知识、技能和有指导的职业发展培训，成为独立的研究人员 以及物质使用和成瘾科学领域的领导者，包括“硬技能”-手稿写作，和 有效和自信地设计和进行关于物质使用和软技能的研究- 城市轨道交通调查人员常见的网络建设、谈判和管理问题；3.培训城市轨道交通 负责与人类受试者进行研究的资产受训人员，并给予特别考虑 在跨文化环境中与城市规划管理和弱势群体合作；以及4.促进城市规划管理学员的 通过向资产受训人员提供同行评审的发展“种子”赠款，向独立研究过渡 为他们提供旅行津贴，以获得关键的、实践的、关于成功制定 在物质使用研究和成瘾科学方面提出研究建议和‘充气泵’。

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Science advances better when we have a diverse research workforce; efforts to advance substance use research and addiction science are no different. Towards this advancement, and in response to PAR-19-246, we propose the Addiction Scientists Strengthened through Education and Training (ASSET) program designed to improve long-term engagement of a diverse addiction scientist workforce to meet the growing U.S. need for effective prevention and treatment of substance use disorders. ASSET Core Faculty who will mentor trainees are themselves diverse leaders in substance use research, from basic scientists to clinical researchers to public health researchers. Together we are well positioned to train future leaders in the field of addiction science, leaders who themselves will be empowered and inspired to provide education, mentorship and training to nurture future addiction scientists from underrepresented groups. Our proposed ASSET program will leverage existing San Diego State University (SDSU), University of California, San Diego (UCSD) educational resources and training capacity, along with mentorship from core faculty to support postdoctoral fellows, addiction psychiatry clinical fellows, and junior faculty in their professional growth to become independent substance use/addiction scientists and clinical researchers. Our program will include a two-level ‘mentoring the mentor’ component where faculty mentors will meet to discuss their mentorship experiences and coach each other on honing mentorship skills for diverse trainees. Trainees themselves will develop skills to overcome common barriers to research career growth. Our ASSET program will offer trainees a team of experienced and diverse mentors, coupled with an internship program with targeted training, research and funding opportunities focused on substance use and addiction science. Our specific objectives are to: 1. Develop a short-term (10-week) internship program (ASSET) with interdisciplinary research and career development training for URM postdoctoral fellows, clinical addiction psychiatry fellows, and junior faculty (trainees) who aspire to become independent researchers in addiction research; 2.Provide URM trainees with research knowledge, skills, and mentored career development training to become independent researchers and leaders in the field of substance use and addiction science, including ‘hard skills’ – manuscript writing, & grantsmanship to effectively and confidently design and conduct studies on substance use and ‘soft skills’ – network-building, negotiation, and managing issues commonly faced by URM investigators; 3.Train URM ASSET trainees in the responsible conduct of research with human subjects, with special consideration given to working with URM and disadvantaged populations in cross-cultural settings; and 4. Promote URM trainees’ transition to independent research by offering ASSET trainees peer-reviewed developmental ‘seed’ grants and travel grants for them to gain critical, hands-on, professional experience on formulation of a successful research proposal and ‘prime the pump’ in substance use research and addiction science.
