PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The Minnesota Inclusive Neuroscience Development Scholars (MINDS) doctoral readiness program will provide two years of research experience and courses for skills development to recent baccalaureates from diverse backgrounds. This doctoral readiness program will build upon the success of our MINDS pilot program, as well as the University of Minnesota’s strength in research on the neuroscience of drug abuse. The MINDS doctoral readiness program will be affiliated with our longstanding NIDA T32 training program (DA007234), and provide participants with access to resources available through our NIDA P30 Core Center of Excellence (DA048742). Participants will be matched with one of our 22 participating faculty mentors, and conduct an independent research project that provides opportunities for technical as well as intellectual growth. The program faculty include basic researchers, technology engineers, and translational scientists to provide an exceptional breadth of scientific scope and training capacity. The scientific environment is highly cooperative, with robust extramural research support that benefits from multiple active collaborations. Strong laboratory research experience will be complemented and scaffolded by a variety of career and professional development activities, including a regular meeting of the entire MINDS program held every two weeks. These meetings and discussions will provide opportunities for skill development in communication of science, preparation for graduate program entrance, and success in navigating graduate school. Participants will enroll in a small number of graduate courses that provide strong background in neuroscience principles of drug abuse, rigorous experimental design, and the responsible conduct of research. Rigorous and effective training is supported through tailoring individual developmental plans, a highly comprehensive program for mentoring the mentors, and thorough evaluation of training outcomes. This proposal includes funds to support four new postbaccalaureate participants each year. Robust institutional matching funds will support an additional two new participants each year, with the remaining matching funds providing resources for relocation expenses, an annual symposium, and additional program expenditures. By providing training essential to the next generation of drug addiction researchers, this R25 program facilitates progress in the understanding the neuroscience of drug abuse.

项目总结/摘要 明尼苏达州包容性神经科学发展学者（MINDS）博士准备计划将提供 两年的研究经验和技能发展课程，以最近的学士学位，从不同的 背景这个博士准备计划将建立在我们的头脑试点计划的成功，以及 明尼苏达大学在药物滥用神经科学研究方面的实力。MINDS博士 战备计划将隶属于我们长期的NIDA T32培训计划（DA 007234），并提供 参与者可以通过我们的NIDA P30核心卓越中心（DA 048742）获得资源。 参与者将与我们的22名参与教师导师之一相匹配，并进行独立的 为技术和智力发展提供机会的研究项目。该计划的教师 包括基础研究人员、技术工程师和翻译科学家，以提供卓越的广度 科学范围和培训能力。科学环境是高度合作的，具有强大的校外 从多个积极合作中受益的研究支持。实验室研究经验丰富 通过各种职业和专业发展活动，包括定期 每两周举行一次整个MINDS计划的会议。这些会议和讨论将提供 在科学交流技能发展的机会，研究生课程入学准备，以及 在研究生院取得成功。参与者将参加少量的研究生课程， 在药物滥用的神经科学原理，严格的实验设计，和负责任的背景 进行研究。严格而有效的培训是通过定制个人发展 计划，一个高度全面的指导导师的计划，以及对培训成果的全面评估。 该提案包括每年资助四名新的学士后学员的资金。健全的制度 匹配资金将每年支持另外两名新参与者，其余匹配资金将用于 为搬迁费用、年度研讨会和额外的计划支出提供资源。通过 为下一代药物成瘾研究人员提供必要的培训，这个R25计划促进了 对药物滥用的神经科学理解的进步。
