Diversity-promoting Institutions Drug Abuse Research Program (DIDARP) (R24)

不同种族和族裔群体以及残疾人和/或社会、经济或教育背景不利的个人在科学领域，包括与药物滥用和成瘾研究有关的领域，代表性不足。纽约市立大学（CUNY）的亨特学院认识到，从这些不同的人群中增加高素质的科学家在药物滥用和成瘾研究的数量是我们作为一个学术和研究机构的未来发展不可或缺的。我们继续在亨特DIDARP计划的当前成功的兴趣出现从当前DIDARP教师和新的教师研究计划的自然交叉，以及来自不同人群的其他教师和学生的愿望进入药物滥用研究领域。在这个资金周期，我们的目标是扩大我们的药物滥用研究基础设施，巩固我们的培训计划，并建立在我们过去的成功，进一步发展我们的研究小组成为一个翻译中心，了解男性和女性在药物滥用和成瘾的贡献。我们已经确定了未来5年的具体举措，这些举措建立在目前的研究优势基础上，但将通过制定一项计划来扩大我们的范围，以制定一项全面的研究和培训计划，以加强亨特的药物滥用研究基础设施。我们的目标是（1）鼓励来自不同人群的学生通过为他们提供丰富的教育和研究经验来追求药物滥用研究事业，（2）为他们的研究计划和其他专业发展活动提供来自不同群体的参与教师的支持，以及（3）加强支持药物滥用研究所需的基本制度基础设施和发展。

Diverse racial and ethnic groups as well as individuals with disabilities and/or socially, economically, or educationally disadvantaged backgrounds are underrepresented in the field of science, including areas related to drug abuse and addiction research. Hunter College of the City University of New York (CUNY) recognizes that increasing the number of highly qualified scientists in drug abuse and addiction research from these diverse populations is integral to our future growth as an academic and research institution. Our interest in continuing the current success of the DIDARP Program at Hunter emerged from the natural intersection of current DIDARP faculty and new faculty research initiatives as well as the desire of other faculty and students from diverse populations to enter the field of drug abuse research. During this funding cycle, our goal is to expand our drug abuse research infrastructure, solidify our training program, and build on our past successes to further develop our research group into a translational center to understand the contributions of male and female sex in drug abuse and addiction. We have identified specific initiatives for the next 5 years which are built on present research strengths but will expand our scope by means of a plan to develop a comprehensive research and training program that will enhance Hunter's drug abuse research infrastructure. Our goals are to (1) encourage students from diverse populations to pursue drug abuse research careers by providing them with educational enrichment and research experience, (2) provide participating faculty from diverse groups support for their research initiatives and other professional developmental activities, and (3) strengthen the underlying institutional infrastructure and development needed to support drug abuse research.
