Substance Abuse Interdisciplinary Training Program

描述(由申请人提供)： 这份申请是为了继续支持密歇根大学药物滥用研究中心(UMSARC)于1994年成立的NIDA博士后和博士后培训计划。在之前的五年培训期间，资助了十名博士后和十名博士后研究员。1999至2003年间，40%的博士后实习生和20%的博士后实习生来自代表性不足的群体。该项目反映了跨学科指导模式的日益成熟。该项目的优势之一包括博士后和博士后研究员之间频繁的互动机会。博士前实习生在达到候选人资格后被录取，并被要求在本国部门完成博士要求，并完成我们培训计划的额外要求；这保证了学生在接受跨学科培训的同时，在一门学科有密集的准备。我们的博士前研究员在离开我们的项目后成功地获得了适当的培训和学术机会。博士后实习生需要确定来自不同学科的两名UMSARC教师导师；其中一名导师是他们的主要导师，来自他们自己感兴趣的领域和/或学科。主要导师承担了大部分的指导责任。之所以选择第二位导师，是因为S/他提供了新的视角和培训机会。我们的博士后实习生带着开始独立职业生涯所需的技能离开了我们的培训计划。最后，NIDA的跨学科培训计划由一名主任和联席主任管理，并得到招生和课程委员会的持续建议。无论受训者是博士后还是博士后，一旦进入我们的项目，所有受训人员除了在各自学科接受培训外，还应参与跨学科培训活动。博士后和博士后培训包括1)接触对现有药物滥用研究的批判性分析(专业研讨会和跨学科演讲者系列)；2)通过与UMSARC教师导师合作开发方法合理的研究的机会；3)对文化和性别敏感的研究战略的跨学科讨论(专业研讨会)；4)向跨学科受众展示他们的研究以进行批评的机会；5)学习负责任的研究进行的机会；以及6)开始药物滥用领域的研究事业(博士后研究员)或发展其他技能，使博士后实习生能够成为一名独立的调查员。

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.
