Substance Abuse Intervention Outcome Research Training

项目摘要 我们多学科项目的目标是培养博士后生物医学、行为学、卫生保健和其他 公共卫生科学家进行药物滥用干预研究。一个首要目标是增强 推进药物滥用治疗研究所需的科学推理技能。从我们的角度来看， 研究将受益于由复杂和充分发展的理论指导的干预措施 多学科框架，包括生物、心理、社会、文化和政策背景 哪些干预措施会发生。虽然其他机构培训计划可能涉及干预研究，但这是 这个项目的主要任务是。我们培训项目的显著特点是：跨学科； 它不包含关于与药物滥用有关的功能障碍的性质的单一意识形态或理论； 它提供连续的早期干预和治疗培训，并向受训者提供 高度个性化的机会，以开发竞争性的赠款申请，并通过这样做，有助于 物质相关功能障碍及治疗的知识库。 培训体验的结构是为了提供个性化的研究体验和培训，并进行补充 通过核心学术课程，将20%的研究员的培训时间分配给该课程。四个不同的领域是 课程内容包括：(1)统计/研究方法；(2)资助金；(3) 研究；以及(4)为期两年的一系列正规课程，涵盖药物滥用的病因和治疗 从不同的学科角度。我们也同意在 研究导师的指导。每个研究员的个人研究培训经验都是从一个 由研究员制定并经其导师同意的个性化发展计划(“培训计划”)，以及 经培训委员会审查和批准。该计划的主要重点是培训 创新治疗开发和临床试验研究，次要强调翻译 将临床研究转变为服务研究。我们在行为经济学、神经科学和行为学方面的研究 遗传学将我们的翻译研究重点从基础扩展到临床。新兴市场的另一个领域 在我们的培训计划中，突出的是烟草监管科学。 预计培训计划为期两年，但有时我们提供3年的培训，例如 对于研究方法培训较少的研究员；交叉培训的研究员，例如 临床心理学家的行为遗传学；或每个队列中需要更多时间完成的研究员 他们成为独立调查员的目标。该项目平均每年接受两名新研究员。 在任何给定的时间，都可能有四名研究员常驻。

Project Summary The aim of our multidisciplinary program is to train post-doctoral biomedical, behavioral, health care and other public health scientists to conduct substance abuse intervention research. An overarching goal is to enhance the scientific reasoning skills needed to advance treatment research in drug abuse. From our perspective such research will benefit from interventions guided by sophisticated and fully-developed theory using a multidisciplinary framework that includes the biological, psychological, social, cultural, and policy context in which interventions occur. While other institutional training programs may address intervention research, this is the primary mission for this program. Distinctive features of our training program are: that it is interdisciplinary; that it embraces no single ideology or theory concerning the nature of dysfunctions related to drug abuse; that it provides training in early intervention and treatment along a continuum; and that it provides trainees with highly individualized opportunities to develop competitive grant applications and by doing so, contribute to the knowledge base of substance-related dysfunction and treatment. The training experience is structured to provide individualized research experience and training, complemented by a core academic curriculum to which 20% of fellows' training time is allocated. Four distinct areas are covered in the curriculum: (1) statistics/research methodology; (2) grantsmanship; (3) ethical issues in research; and (4) a two-year series of formal courses covering the etiology and treatment of substance abuse from varying disciplinary perspectives. We also subscribe to a research apprenticeship model under the guidance of the research mentor. Each fellow's individual research training experience emerges from an individualized development plan (“training plan”) developed by the fellow, agreed to by his/her mentors, and reviewed and approved by the Training Committee. The program has a primary emphasis on training in innovative treatment development and clinical trials research with a secondary emphasis on the translation of clinical research into services research. Our research in behavioral economics, neuroscience, and behavioral genetics expands our focus of translational research from basic to clinical. An additional area of emerging prominence in our training program is tobacco regulatory science. The expected training program duration is two years but on occasion we offer 3rd years of training, for example for fellows with less extensive training in research methods; fellows who are cross-training, e.g. training in Behavioral Genetics for a clinical psychologist; or for fellows in each cohort who need more time to accomplish their goals of becoming independent investigators. The program accepts on average two new fellows per year. At any given time there are likely to be four fellows in residence.
