Substance Abuse Interdisciplinary Training Program

描述（由申请人提供）： 此应用程序是一个前和博士后NIDA培训计划，成立于密歇根大学药物滥用研究中心（UMSARC）于1994年继续支持的请求。在过去的五年培训期间，资助了十名博士后和十名博士前研究员。1999年至2003年期间，40%的博士预科学员和20%的博士后学员来自代表性不足的群体。该计划反映了跨学科指导模式的日益复杂。该计划的优势之一包括前和博士后研究员之间的互动频繁的机会。博士预科生在达到候选资格后被录取，并要求完成博士学位。在他们的家庭部门的要求，并完成我们的培训计划的额外要求;这保证了学生在一个学科密集的准备，同时也接受跨学科的培训。我们的博士前研究员在离开我们的计划后成功地获得适当的培训和学术机会。博士后学员必须确定两个来自不同学科的UMSARC教师导师;一个导师，他们的主要导师，来自他们自己的兴趣和/或学科领域。主要导师承担大部分导师职责。选择第二位导师是因为他/她提供了新的视角和培训机会。我们的博士后学员离开我们的培训计划与必要的技能，开始独立的职业生涯。最后，这个NIDA跨学科的培训计划是由董事和联合董事管理，与招生和课程委员会的持续建议。无论受训者是博士前还是博士后研究员，一旦进入我们的计划，所有受训者除了接受自己学科的培训外，还将参与跨学科的培训活动。博士前和博士后培训包括：1）对现有药物滥用研究的批判性分析（前研讨会和跨学科的演讲者系列）; 2）通过与UMSARC教师导师合作，有机会发展方法学上合理的研究; 3）文化和性别敏感的研究战略的跨学科讨论（临研讨会）; 4）有机会提出他们的研究，以批评跨学科的观众; 5）有机会了解负责任的研究行为;以及6）在药物滥用领域开始研究生涯（为博士前研究员）或发展额外的技能，使博士后实习生成为一个独立的调查员。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is a request for continuing support for a pre- and post-doctoral NIDA training program which was founded at the University of Michigan Substance Abuse Research Center (UMSARC) in 1994. Over the previous five-year training period, ten post-doctoral and ten pre-doctoral fellows have been funded. Between 1999 and 2003, 40% of the pre-doctoral trainees and 20% of the post-doctoral trainees were from underrepresented groups. The program reflects an increasing sophistication with interdisciplinary mentoring models. One of the strengths of this program includes the frequent opportunities for interaction among the pre and post-doctoral fellows. The pre-doctoral trainees are admitted after reaching candidacy and 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; one mentor, their primary mentor, is from their own area of interest and/or discipline. The primary mentor assumes the majority of mentorship responsibilities. The second mentor is selected because s/he offers 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-seminar 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 (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 predoctoral fellows) or the development of additional skills to enable the post-doctoral trainee to become an independent investigator.
