DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Since its inception in 1984, the Behavioral Science Training in Drug Abuse Research Program (BST) has become one of the nation's largest NRSA training programs specializing in behavioral science research on drug abuse, AIDS, and crime. The BST program has trained 149 predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees-with nearly half of them being racial/ethnic minorities. This application requests authorization to maintain the current levels of appointments (7 postdoctoral and 9 predoctoral trainees) during each of Years 26 to 30. The BST program operates in a quasi-academic environment and is operated by three collaborating institutions: Medical and Health Research Association of New York City, Inc. (MHRA), the grant administrator; National Development and Research Institutes, Inc. (NDRI), the training site; and the Mailman School of Public Health (MSPH) at Columbia University, the university affiliate. Dr. Bruce D. Johnson directs a core faculty of 46 leading researchers from MHRA, NDRI, and MSPH, who provide highly structured and rigorous training for BST trainees. The mission of the BST program is to prepare behavioral scientists, especially racial/ethnic minorities, for careers in drug abuse research and allied fields. This is accomplished by (1) recruiting and appointing promising scientists, about half from minority backgrounds, for traineeships; (2) providing advanced training in substantive topics and theory, research methods and practices, and the ethical conduct of research; and (3) mentoring and advising trainees. In addition to a variety of weekly seminars and workshops, trainees participate regularly in supervised research-ample opportunities exist on well over 200 Federal grants/contracts of BST core faculty-and they conduct their own independent research. This application includes two new features: a strengthened, required grant writing workshop, and an interdisciplinary training component in biobehavioral research. The BST program's long-standing success is evident in the significant contributions of 137 graduates (including 43 predoctoral trainees who have received their doctorates, with 9 in progress) and 14 current fellows. Many former trainees have distinguished themselves through their research and publications-the number of publications by current and former BST trainees is estimated at over 1,000. BST trainees have received as Pis 22 grants from NIH, been Co-investigators on more than 40 NIH-funded projects, and obtained over 80 grants from other Federal, state, and private funding sources.

自1984年成立以来，药物滥用研究计划（BST）的行为科学培训已成为全国最大的NRSA培训计划之一，专门从事药物滥用，艾滋病和犯罪的行为科学研究。BST计划已经培训了149名博士前和博士后培训人员，其中近一半是少数民族。本申请要求授权在26至30年期间保持目前的任命水平（7名博士后和9名博士前实习生）。BST计划在准学术环境中运作，由三个合作机构运营：纽约市医学与健康研究协会，Inc。（MHRA），赠款管理员;国家发展和研究机构，公司。（NDRI），培训地点;以及哥伦比亚大学的梅尔曼公共卫生学院（MSPH），该大学的附属机构。布鲁斯博士D.约翰逊领导着一个由46名来自MHRA、NDRI和MSPH的顶尖研究人员组成的核心教师团队，他们为BST学员提供高度结构化和严格的培训。BST计划的使命是为行为科学家，特别是种族/少数民族，在药物滥用研究和相关领域的职业生涯做好准备。这是通过以下方式实现的：（1）招聘和任命有前途的科学家，其中约一半来自少数民族背景，担任培训员;（2）提供实质性主题和理论、研究方法和实践以及研究道德行为方面的高级培训;（3）指导和咨询受训人员。除了各种每周的研讨会和讲习班，学员定期参加监督的研究-充分的机会存在于超过200个联邦赠款/BST核心教师的合同-他们进行自己的独立研究。此应用程序包括两个新功能：一个加强，所需的补助金写作研讨会，并在生物行为研究的跨学科培训组成部分。BST计划长期以来的成功体现在137名毕业生（包括43名已获得博士学位的博士前实习生，其中9名正在进行中）和14名现任研究员的重大贡献中。许多以前的受训者通过他们的研究和出版物而脱颖而出-现任和前任BST受训者的出版物数量估计超过1，000。BST受训人员作为Pis从NIH获得了22笔赠款，在40多个NIH资助的项目中担任共同研究员，并从其他联邦、州和私人资金来源获得了80多笔赠款。
