Training Program on HIV and Substance Use in the Criminal Justice System

描述(由申请人提供)：本T32由哥伦比亚大学(CU)社会工作学院(SSW)和梅尔曼公共卫生学院社会医学科学系(SMS/MSPH)提交。它建议培训下一代博士后和博士后学者，在刑事司法系统中预防、治疗和护理个人中的艾滋病毒和药物滥用。这一培训应用程序将重点放在参与替代监禁和社区监督(例如，分流方案、缓刑以及社区和毒品法庭)的个人，他们受到健康差距的影响。该培训计划将提供：(1)跨学科研究指导和培训 关于药物滥用、艾滋病毒和刑事司法系统的交叉问题的博士生和博士后研究员；以及(2)在艾滋病毒和药物滥用的预防、治疗和护理涉及刑事司法的人群的研究中进行独立研究的实际指导经验。这项计划旨在通过增加学术背景的多样性--例如社会工作、公共卫生、医学、社会学、政治学、人类学--以及那些来自代表性不足的人群--例如代表性不足的少数族裔(URM)、残疾人和弱势背景的个人--来加强研究人员队伍。将参加这一拟议培训计划的教职员工来自加州大学的一些系和学校以及其他大学和研究中心。参与的教师是艾滋病毒、药物滥用和刑事司法领域的领导者，拥有来自NIDA、NIMH和其他机构的强有力的TRAC支持记录。他们也很有资格提供培训，这一点从他们指导博士后和博士后研究员的良好记录中可见一斑。每年，该培训计划将遴选和任命支持最长5年的博士前学员和支持最长3年的博士后研究员2名。在满负荷的情况下，该项目每年将支持4名博士后学生和4名博士后研究员。总而言之，该计划预计在5年的资助期内总共支持6-8名博士前实习生和8-10名博士后实习生。因此，该方案将为该领域增加大量高素质的新学者，重点关注涉及刑事司法的人群中的艾滋病毒和药物滥用。Nabila El-Bassel博士(SSW)和Lisa Metsch博士(SMS/MSPH)将担任拟议培训计划的PI/联席主任，这为两位著名的杰出科学家提供了合作和领导这一计划的机会。他们各自在艾滋病毒、药物滥用和刑事司法领域贡献了20多年的经验。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This T32 is submitted by the Columbia University (CU) School of Social Work (SSW) and the Department of Sociomedical Sciences at the Mailman School of Public Health (SMS/MSPH). It proposes to train the next generation of pre- and post-doctoral scholars in the prevention, treatment, and care of HIV and drug abuse among individuals in the criminal justice system. This training application places a strong emphasis on individuals involved in alternatives to incarceration and community supervision (e.g., diversion programs, probation, and community and drug courts) who are affected by health disparities. This training program will provide: (1) interdisciplinary research instruction and training for pre doctoral students and post-doctoral fellows on the intersecting issues of drug abuse, HIV and the criminal justice system; and (2) hands-on, mentored experience conducting independent research in the study of HIV and drug abuse prevention, treatment, and care for criminal justice-involved populations. This program is designed to strengthen the pool of researchers by increasing the diversity of academic backgrounds-e.g., social work, public health, medicine, sociology, political science, anthropology-and those from underrepresented populations-e.g., underrepresented minorities (URM), people with disabilities and individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds. The faculty who will participate in this proposed training program are drawn from a number of CU departments and schools as well as other universities and research centers. Participating faculty are leaders in HIV, drug abuse, and criminal justice fields, with strong trac records of support from NIDA and NIMH and other institutes. They are also well-qualified to provide training, as evidenced by their strong records of mentorship of pre-doctoral students and postdoctoral fellows. Each year, the training program will select and appoint pre-doctoral trainees who will be supported for up to 5 years, and 2 postdoctoral fellows, who will be supported for up to 3 years. At full capacity, the program will support 4 pre-doctoral students and 4 post-doctoral fellows per year. Altogether, the program is anticipated to support a total of 6-8 pre-doctoral trainees and 8-10 post-doctoral trainees over the 5-year funding period. Thus, the program will add a substantial number of highly qualified new scholars to the field focusing on HIV and drug abuse among criminal justice-involved populations. Dr. Nabila El-Bassel (SSW) and Dr. Lisa Metsch (SMS/MSPH) will serve as PIs/Co-Directors for the proposed training program, which provides an opportunity for two noted and distinguished scientists to collaborate and lead this initiative. They each contribute over 20 years of experience in the HIV, drug abuse, and criminal justice fields.
