DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal represents a request for continued, five-year support of our current, interdisciplinary training program, which was founded at the University of Michigan Substance Abuse Research Center (UMSARC) in 1994. The primary objective of the training program is to produce new scholars who eventually will conduct ground-breaking substance abuse research and will incorporate other disciplinary perspectives into their research. Over the previous five-year training period, 10 post-doctoral and 11 pre-doctoral fellows have been funded and 27% of these trainees were from underrepresented groups. The program reflects an increasing sophistication with interdisciplinary mentoring models. Strengths of this program include the frequent opportunities for interaction among the pre and post-doctoral fellows and the diverse nature of the training faculty. The pre-doctoral trainees are admitted after reaching candidacy; they are required to complete the Ph.D. requirements in their home departments and to complete the additional requirements of our Training Program. This guarantees that students have intensive preparation in one discipline while also receiving interdisciplinary training. Our pre-doctoral fellows are successful in obtaining appropriate training and academic opportunities after leaving our program. The post-doctoral trainees are required to identify two UMSARC faculty mentors from different disciplines; their primary mentor is from their own area of interest/discipline and assumes the majority of mentorship responsibilities. The second mentor is selected to offer new perspectives and opportunities for training. Our post-doctoral trainees leave our training program with the skills necessary to begin independent careers. Finally, this NIDA interdisciplinary training program is administered by a Director and Co-director, with the continuing advice of the Admissions and Curriculum Committee. Regardless of whether the trainee is a pre- or a post-doctoral fellow, once in our program all trainees are expected to engage in interdisciplinary training activities in addition to the training they receive in their own disciplines. The pre-doctoral and post-doctoral training includes: 1) an exposure to a critical analysis of extant research on substance abuse (Pro-seminars and Interdisciplinary Speakers Series); 2) an opportunity to develop methodologically sound research by working with UMSARC faculty mentors; 3) an interdisciplinary discussion of culturally and gender sensitive research strategies (fall meetings and Pro- seminar); 4) the opportunity to present their research to an interdisciplinary audience for critique; 5) an opportunity to learn about the responsible conduct of research; and 6) the initiation of a research career in the field of substance abuse (for pre-doctoral fellows) or the development of additional skills to enable the post-doctoral trainee to become an independent investigator. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE ; This unique training program will produce scholars with a broad perspective on substance abuse who will seek to incorporate interdisciplinary and translational components into their research. The ability of the trainees to assimilate their knowledge of addiction literally from the bench to the beside will lead to more rapid and integrative advances in substance abuse research.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案代表对我们当前的跨学科培训计划的持续五年支持的请求，该培训计划于 1994 年在密歇根大学药物滥用研究中心 (UMSARC) 成立。该培训计划的主要目标是培养新学者，他们最终将进行突破性的药物滥用研究，并将其他学科观点融入到他们的研究中。在过去五年的培训期间，已资助了 10 名博士后和 11 名博士前研究员，其中 27% 的学员来自代表性不足的群体。该计划反映出跨学科指导模式的日益成熟。该项目的优势包括博士前和博士后研究员之间频繁的互动机会以及培训师资的多样性。博士前生达到候选资格后录取；他们需要完成博士学位。满足其所在部门的要求并完成我们培训计划的额外要求。这保证了学生在一门学科上进行强化准备，同时也接受跨学科培训。我们的博士前研究员在离开我们的项目后成功获得了适当的培训和学术机会。博士后培训生需确定两名来自不同学科的UMSARC导师；他们的主要导师来自他们自己感兴趣/学科的领域，并承担大部分指导责任。第二位导师的选择是为了提供新的视角和培训机会。我们的博士后学员在离开我们的培训计划后，获得了开始独立职业生涯所需的技能。最后，NIDA 跨学科培训项目由一名主任和联合主任管理，并持续听取招生和课程委员会的建议。无论受训者是博士前研究员还是博士后研究员，一旦加入我们的项目，所有受训者除了接受本学科的培训外，还应参加跨学科的培训活动。博士前和博士后培训包括： 1) 对现有药物滥用研究进行批判性分析（专业研讨会和跨学科演讲者系列）； 2）有机会与 UMSARC 教师导师合作，开展方法论上合理的研究； 3）对文化和性别敏感的研究策略进行跨学科讨论（秋季会议和专业研讨会）； 4）有机会向跨学科观众展示他们的研究成果以供批评； 5）有机会了解负责任的研究行为； 6) 开始药物滥用领域的研究生涯（对于博士前研究员）或发展额外技能以使博士后实习生成为一名独立研究者。 公共卫生相关性；这一独特的培训计划将培养对药物滥用具有广阔视野的学者，他们将寻求将跨学科和转化成分纳入他们的研究中。受训者从台上到旁边吸收他们的成瘾知识的能力将导致药物滥用研究更加快速和综合的进步。
