The Center for the Study and Prevention of Drug Use

描述(由申请人提供)： 这份关于研究和预防药物使用中心的提案由摩根州立大学提交，并根据PAR-02-016机制寻求资金，以回应PA题为“少数族裔机构药物滥用研究发展计划”(MIDARP)。拟议的中心将是一个机构间的合作努力，涉及少数族裔机构摩根州立大学，以及专注于和专门研究药物使用和与药物使用相关的差异的研究密集型大学和方案倡议。该中心寻求加强通过该中心建立的合作关系，以提高摩根州立大学及其教职员工和学生进行严格的药物使用研究的能力，并强调药物使用流行病学、公共卫生和与药物使用有关的健康差距。为了实现该中心的使命，开发了四个组成部分，以解决建立一个药物使用研究中心的必要方面。1)教师发展计划，该计划旨在通过允许摩根教师与专门从事药物研究的个人进行非现场合作研究来促进他们的发展。2)第二个方面是学生发展计划，该计划旨在揭露、教育和培训少数族裔学生在药物使用研究领域的知识。3)该项目的研究部门包括一个主要和四个发展试点项目，使摩根大学的研究人员能够开始利用他们目前的专业知识，调查药物使用领域和与药物使用有关的差异领域的主题。4)监督，每个领域都是行政单位和中心组织的拟议计划。通过这一组成部分，合作关系、研究项目以及教职员工和学生的发展将得到监督和加强。作为该中心的结果，摩根州立大学的教职员工将进一步提高他们独立进行严格研究的能力，特别是提交R01‘S的报告。此外，摩根将有足够的能力通过开发一个结构化的药物研究计划来培训学生从事药物使用研究的职业生涯，管理人员将拥有必要的技能来支持研究人员与研究项目相关的所有努力。总而言之，该中心将是自给自足的，并有能力产生以药物使用研究为重点的未来研究。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal for the Center for Study and Prevention of Drug Use is submitted by Morgan State University and seeks funding under the PAR-02-016 mechanism in response to the PA entitled "Minority Institutions' Drug Abuse Research Development Program" (MIDARP). The proposed Center will be an inter-institutional collaborative effort involving Morgan State University, a minority institution, and research intensive universities and programmatic initiatives that focus on and specialize in research on drug use and disparities associated with drug use. The Center seeks to build on the collaborative relationships established through the Center to increase the capacity of Morgan State, its faculty and its students to conduct rigorous drug use research with and emphasis on drug use epidemiology, public health, and health disparities related to drug use. In order to actualize the mission of the Center, four components were developed which address the necessary aspects of creating a drug use research center. 1) The Faculty Development Plan, which seeks to advance Morgan faculty by allowing them to engage in off-site collaborative research with individuals specializing in drug research. 2) A second aspect is the Student Development Plan, which seeks to expose, educate and, train minority students in the area of drug use research. 3) The research arm of the project includes a primary and four developmental pilot project, allowing researchers at Morgan to begin using their present expertise and investigating topics in the area of drug use and disparities related to drug use. 4) Overseeing, each of the areas is the proposed plan for the Administrative Units and Center Organization. Through this component collaborative relationships, research projects, and faculty and student development will be monitored and enhanced. As a result of the Center faculty at Morgan State will be further enhanced regarding their ability to conduct rigorous research independently, specifically submitting R01's. Further, Morgan will be sufficiently capable of training students for careers in drug use research by developing a structured program in drug research, and the administrative staff will have the skills necessary to support the research staff in all endeavors related to research projects. In sum, the Center will be; self-sustaining and capable of producing future research focused on drug use research.
