DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This revised application for a MIDARP program at Howard University describes a mentoring program in drug abuse research and AIDS prevention in communities of color, which is designed to increase the capacity of faculty and students at Howard to conduct rigorous and competitive research in the prevention of drug abuse and HIV/AIDS in communities of color. The program will emphasize training in transdisciplinary research on relationships between environmental stress, biological responses, risk behaviors and health outcomes and will utilize collaborations with senior investigators in research intensive universities to mentor Howard faculty investigators. The MIDARP will also work closely with existing programs that link Howard faculty and students to research training opportunities to (1) increase knowledge and interest in drug abuse and AIDS prevention research among faculty and students in these programs and (2) utilize the resources of these programs to expand the range of training opportunities available to MIDARP investigators and students. Howard students will be introduced to drug abuse and AIDS prevention research and career development by augmenting existing drug abuse courses in the College of Arts and Sciences and the curriculum for medical, basic science, nursing, and pharmacy students to include information on drug abuse and AIDS prevention research. They will also fund a pre-doctoral dissertation stipend and recruit students to serve as research assistants in the MIDARP pilot studies. The unique strengths of the program include the opportunity to (1) integrate education regarding drug abuse and AIDS prevention research into existing research training programs for faculty and students;(2) train individuals in diverse disciplines such as the health professions and sciences (i.e., medicine, basic sciences, pharmacy, nursing) who are less likely to pursue research careers in drug abuse and AIDS prevention research; and (3) support transdisciplinary research in drug use and AIDS prevention based on strong existing university research programs in genetics, physiology, and psychobiology. A transdisciplinary approach will be reflected in the MIDARP leadership that includes a Director who is a behavioral scientist specializing in research on environmental stress, drug use, and AIDS risk in communities of color and a Deputy Director who is an immunogeneticist with expertise in microbiology, and founding Director of the Human Genome Project at Howard University.

描述(由申请人提供)：霍华德大学MIDARP项目的修订申请描述了一个在有色人种社区进行药物滥用研究和艾滋病预防的指导计划，旨在提高霍华德大学教职员工和学生在有色人种社区进行预防药物滥用和艾滋病毒/艾滋病的严谨和有竞争力的研究的能力。该计划将强调关于环境压力、生物反应、危险行为和健康结果之间关系的跨学科研究培训，并将利用与研究密集型大学的高级研究人员的合作来指导霍华德学院的研究人员。MIDARP还将与现有的计划密切合作，这些计划将Howard教职员工和学生与研究培训机会联系起来，以(1)在这些计划中增加教职员工和学生对药物滥用和艾滋病预防研究的知识和兴趣，(2)利用这些计划的资源，扩大MIDARP调查人员和学生可获得的培训机会的范围。霍华德学院将向霍华德学生介绍药物滥用和预防艾滋病的研究和职业发展，方法是增加文理学院现有的药物滥用课程，并增加医学、基础科学、护理和药剂学学生的课程，包括药物滥用和艾滋病预防研究的信息。他们还将资助博士前论文津贴，并招募学生担任MIDARP试点研究的研究助理。该计划的独特优势包括有机会(1)将有关药物滥用和艾滋病预防研究的教育整合到现有的教职员工和学生研究培训计划中；(2)培训不同学科的个人，如健康专业和科学(即医学、基础科学、药剂学、护理)，他们不太可能从事药物滥用和艾滋病预防研究的研究事业；(3)在现有强大的遗传学、生理学和心理生物学大学研究计划的基础上，支持药物使用和艾滋病预防的跨学科研究。跨学科的方法将反映在MIDARP的领导中，其中包括一名主任，他是一名专门研究有色人种社区环境压力、药物使用和艾滋病风险的行为科学家，一名副主任，他是一名具有微生物学专业知识的免疫遗传学家，以及霍华德大学人类基因组项目的创始主任。
