Training in Research on Addictions in Interdisciplinary NeuroAIDS (TRAIN)

描述（由申请人提供）：跨学科NeuroAIDS（TRAIN）成瘾研究培训关于药物滥用和HIV感染对大脑结构和功能的综合影响的跨学科临床研究与公共卫生倡议具有相当大的相关性。然而，目前很少有实验室进行这样的研究，目前也没有专门的培训计划，以准备下一代的研究人员在成瘾和神经艾滋病的交叉临床研究。因此，我们建议建立一个新的露丝L。Kirschstein国家研究服务奖机构培训补助金（NRSA T32），题为“跨学科神经艾滋病成瘾研究培训”。“训练的目的是为临床神经心理学的四名博士前学生和两名博士后研究员准备一个稳定的状态，从事多学科的学术事业，重点是药物滥用和艾滋病毒感染对中枢神经系统的影响。我们将招募一批高素质和文化多样性的学员，这些学员将有希望实现富有成效的学术生涯。TRAIN计划将强调在三个主要的、相互关联的CNS结果方面的研究培训，这些结果是因为它们的显著性而被选择的，

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Training in Research on Addictions in Interdisciplinary NeuroAIDS (TRAIN) Interdisciplinary clinical research on the combined effects of substance abuse and HIV infection on brain structure and function is of considerable relevance to public health initiatives. However, there are presently very few laboratories conducting such research and no current training programs dedicated to preparing the next generation of investigators in clinical research at the intersection of addictions and neuroAIDS. Accordingly, we propose to establish a new Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award Institutional Training Grant (NRSA T32) entitled, "Training in Research on Addictions in Interdisciplinary NeuroAIDS (TRAIN)." The aim of TRAIN is to prepare a steady state of four pre-doctoral students and two post-doctoral fellows in clinical neuropsychology for multidisciplinary academic careers focused on the central nervous system (CNS) effects of substance abuse and HIV infection. We will recruit a highly qualified and culturally diverse cohort of trainees that demonstrate promise toward achieving productive academic careers. The TRAIN program will emphasize research training in three primary, interrelated CNS outcomes, which were selected because of their salience and
