In the US, 15 million people have alcohol use disorders (AUD) and 95,000 people die per year of alcohol attributable causes, making alcohol misuse the third-leading preventable cause of death in the United States. Despite the overwhelming need for better prevention and treatment of the health consequence for AUD, the biomedical science workforce devoted to this problem is inadequate. The University of Nebraska Medical Center has a history of performing quality alcohol-related research since the 1960s. This history, existing infrastructure, and organization of multiple enthusiastic, federally funded alcohol researchers makes us well positioned to continue to provide superior training and inspire the next generation of alcohol researchers. Our program’s goal is to provide a diverse group of undergraduate students with early, immersive exposures to alcohol research with the hope of launching some of these students on their way to careers in biomedical and alcohol-focused research. We have a strong track record of supporting the development of young scientists with our Summer Undergraduate Alcohol Research Program (SUARP). The SUARP was initiated in 2012 with funding through the NIAAA and has trained 77 undergraduate students. We have been successful in recruiting a diverse student population with 30% of our students identifying as underrepresented minorities in science. Our program is already making progress in achieving its major long-term objective of adding to the biomedical research workforce. Of the 77 students participating in the 10-week program since 2012, we have follow-up data on 71 (92%). Of those, 72% reported participating in a research project after completing our program, 7% are in graduate school in a science field, and 58% are in health professions school or are practicing clinicians. The SUARP program will provide a 10-week, hands-on, mentored, research experience for undergraduate students to stimulate their interest in careers in biomedical research. As a part of the program, we will teach SUARP students the pathophysiological consequences of alcohol misuse on human health. We will also introduce students to the scientific skills needed to build a successful scientific career. This is a comprehensive, intense program of scientific training dedicated to developing the next generation of scientists engaged in examining the challenging issue of alcohol intake and its impact on health. We have built a strong program and remain enthusiastic to continue to serve students and contribute to the improvement of the diversity of the alcohol research community.

在美国，1500万人患有酒精使用障碍（AUD），每年有95，000人死于酒精 这使得酒精滥用成为美国第三大可预防的死亡原因。 尽管迫切需要更好地预防和治疗AUD的健康后果， 致力于这一问题的生物医学科学工作人员不足。 内布拉斯加大学医学中心有一个历史，执行质量酒精相关的研究，因为 上世纪60年代这个历史，现有的基础设施，和组织的多个热情，联邦政府资助的 酒精研究人员使我们能够继续提供上级培训，并激励下一个 一代酒精研究者。我们的计划的目标是提供一个多样化的本科生群体 早期的，沉浸式的酒精研究，希望能让这些学生中的一些人 通往生物医学和酒精研究职业的途径。 我们在支持年轻科学家的发展方面有着良好的记录， 本科酒精研究计划（SUARP）。SUARP于2012年启动，资金来自 NIAAA，并培养了77名本科生。我们已经成功地招募了一个多样化的 我们的学生中有30%的学生被认为是科学领域代表性不足的少数民族。我们 该计划已经在实现其主要的长期目标方面取得了进展， 研究人员。自2012年以来参加10周计划的77名学生中， 71例（92%）。其中，72%的人报告说，在完成我们的项目后， 在科学领域的研究生院，58%在卫生专业学校或正在执业的临床医生。 SUARP计划将为本科生提供为期10周的实践，指导，研究经验 激发学生对生物医学研究职业的兴趣。作为课程的一部分，我们将教授 SUARP学生滥用酒精对人类健康的病理生理后果。我们还将 向学生介绍建立成功的科学事业所需的科学技能。 这是一个全面的，密集的科学训练计划，致力于发展下一代的 科学家们致力于研究酒精摄入及其对健康的影响这一具有挑战性的问题。我们已经建立 一个强大的计划，并保持热情，继续为学生服务，并有助于改善 酒精研究界的多样性。
