NIDA DRUG ABUSE RESEARCH COLLABORATION

描述：(申请人摘要) 北卡罗来纳中央大学对美国国立卫生研究院做出回应 药物滥用研究所和少数群体健康倡议研究办公室 被授予HBCU研究科学家奖。拟议中的NCCU药物滥用 与维克森林大学学院合作的研究计划 医学，将侧重于药物与细胞相互作用的分子机制， 试图了解成瘾行为的分子相关性。这个 计划将被安置在新的生物医学/生物技术研究中 研究所。与NIDA和ORMH合作，NCCU将实现计划目标 并通过以下方式支持药物滥用研究的增长和发展： 召集NCCU外部的一组科学家作为一种药物 虐待研究咨询委员会：确定和招募 有经验的人通常被认为是有经验的吸毒者 研究科学家：与科学家建立正式联系 位于维克森林大学学校的药物滥用研究中心 距离NCCU约110英里的MEDIC：经济实惠 组建和培养一支高素质的药物研发科学家队伍 NCCU的虐待研究：并作为催化剂促进公众 意识，特别是在少数群体中，对行为和 吸毒成瘾的公共健康后果。

DESCRIPTION: (Applicant's Abstract) North Carolina Central University is responding to the NIH-National Institute on Drug Abuse and Office of Research on Minority Health initiative entitled HBCU Research Scientist Award. The proposed NCCU drug abuse research program in collaboration with Wake Forest University School of Medicine, will focus on molecular mechanisms of drug-cell interaction, seeking to understand the molecular correlates of addictive behavior. The program will be housed in the new Biomedical/Biotechnology Research Institute. Working with NIDA and ORMH, NCCU will address the program goals and support the growth and development of drug abuse research by: assembling a panel of scientists external to NCCU that could serve as a drug abuse research advisory committee: identifying and recruiting an experienced individual generally recognized as an accomplished drug abuse research scientist: establishing formal linkages with scientists at the drug abuse research center located at Wake Forest University School Medicine, located approximately 110 miles from NCCU: cost effective assembly and training of a high quality team of scientists to conduct drug abuse research at NCCU: and serving as a catalyst to enhance public awareness, particularly among the minority community, of the behavioral and public health consequences of drug addiction.
