BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES TRAINING IN DRUG ABUSE RESEARCH

药物滥用研究项目的行为科学培训（BST）从第一年（9/84）的4名研究员增加到11-15年级的16名。这项申请要求授权维持目前的任命水平（7名博士后和9名博士预科学员），并在16-20年级期间开展活动。该项目由三家合作机构赞助，即纽约市医学与健康研究协会（MHRA）、拨款管理机构、国家发展与研究机构（NDRI）、培训基地和哥伦比亚大学附属大学公共卫生学院（CSPH）。Bruce D. Johnson博士领导着来自MHRA， NDRI和CSPH的26名主要研究人员的核心教师，他们在NDRI提供高度结构化和严格的培训，NDRI是全国最大的药物滥用，艾滋病和毒品相关犯罪的社会科学研究中心之一。自1984年以来，培养了94名博士后和博士前研究员。BST项目的使命是培养行为科学家，特别是来自少数民族背景的行为科学家，从事药物滥用研究和相关领域的职业。这是通过以下方式实现的：(1)任命有前途的科学家，其中一半来自少数民族背景，接受nida批准的实习；(2)为研究员提供有关药物滥用和艾滋病毒/艾滋病的高级实质性和经验性培训；(3)指导和建议研究员；（四）办理行政事务，发放津贴。该计划强调药物滥用理论和研究方法的高级课程；艾滋病毒/艾滋病;犯罪;犯罪学;以及其他与毒品有关的话题；以及关于研究员的研究、方法、专业实践和道德的研讨会。受训者直接参与由核心学院监督的50多项联邦拨款/合同以及自己的独立研究。核心教师指导研究员，示范职业生涯，并促进就业安置。该计划的成功在78名毕业生和16名现任研究员的重大贡献中是显而易见的。这些提供简历的人共出版了24本书，200篇期刊文章，50篇书籍章节，并在350多场会议上发表了演讲。BST受训者还获得了24项NIH资助和38项非NIH资助。其中8人已成为9个nih资助项目的首席研究员。

The Behavioral Sciences Training in Drug Abuse Research Program (BST) grew from 4 fellows in Year 1 (9/84) to 16 in Years 11-15. This application requests authorization to maintain the current levels of appointments (7 postdoctoral and 9 predoctoral trainees) and activities during each of Years 16-20. The program is sponsored 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 School of Public Health (CSPH) at Columbia University, the university affiliate. Dr. Bruce D. Johnson directs a core faculty of 26 leading researchers from MHRA, NDRI, and CSPH, who provide highly structured and rigorous training at NDRI, one of the nation's largest centers for social science research on drug abuse, AIDS, and drug-related crime. The program has trained 94 postdoctoral and predoctoral fellows since 1984. The mission of the BST program is to prepare behavioral scientists, especially from minority backgrounds, for careers in drug abuse research and allied fields. This is accomplished by: (1) appointing promising scientists, half from minority backgrounds, for NIDA-approved traineeship; (2) providing fellows with advanced substantive and empirical training about drug abuse and HIV/AIDS; (3) mentoring and advising fellows; and (4) handling administrative matters and providing stipends. The program emphasizes advanced courses in drug abuse theory and research methods; HIV/AIDS; crime; criminology; and other drug- related topics; and proseminars about fellows' research, methodologies and professional practices and ethics. Trainees engage in direct participation in over 50 Federal grants/contracts supervised by Core faculty and in their own independent research. Core faculty mentor fellows, model professional careers, and facilitate job placement. The program's success is evident in the significant contributions of 78 graduates and 16 current fellows. Those who provided curriculum vitaes have collectively published 24 books, 200 journal articles, and 50 book chapters, and made over 350 conference presentations. BST trainees have also received support from 24 NIH grants, and 38 grants from non-NIH sources. Eight have become Principle Investigators of nine NIH-funded projects.
