Alcohol and Adult Development: Understanding Etiology and Consequences

描述(由申请人提供)：这是一份新的高级科学家研究和导师奖的申请(K05)。申请者肯尼斯·J·谢尔是密苏里大学哥伦比亚分校的心理科学策展人教授，他建议为他所在系的三名杰出的终身教职科学家提供一段时间的研究指导。提议的两名受训者丹尼斯·麦卡锡(临床心理学家)和布鲁斯·巴索洛(社会神经学家)目前在酒精研究领域工作，但尚未收到R01资金。一个主要的指导目标是帮助麦卡锡博士和巴索洛博士进入他们职业生涯的下一个阶段。第三位被提议的导师道格拉斯·斯坦利(Douglas Steinley)(一位定量心理学家)是酒精研究领域的新手，但他承诺将酒精研究作为其基本方法论研究的主要应用领域，并打算准备一份导师定量研究的申请 职业发展奖(K25)，由申请人指导。对于所有申请者，指导目标包括提供关于资助金和受训者研究计划的发展以及更一般的专业发展方面的指导和支持。作为研究生和博士后实习生的导师，将特别注意与被辅导者合作，以提高他们自身的有效性。关于他的研究计划，申请人计划继续进行一项广泛的研究计划，寻求描述酒精中毒的核心病因学过程，特别强调在精神病理学和人类发育共同发生的背景下理解酒精使用障碍(AUDS)的生命过程。利用现有的数据集和目前正在建设的数据集，申请人提议继续研究病理性酒精背书的病因学、自然历史和后果。特别强调对前瞻性小组和基于事件的数据的分析，这些数据提供了新的机会，以高度精细和细微的方式研究与酒精使用、酒精问题和酒精依赖有关的核心发展过程，结合了背景信息和对个体差异的考虑。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a new application for a Senior Scientist Research and Mentorship Award (K05). The applicant, Kenneth J. Sher, Curators' Professor of Psychological Sciences at the University of Missouri-Columbia, proposes to provide a period of research mentoring to three outstanding, tenure-track scientists in his Department. Two of the proposed mentees, Denis McCarthy (a clinical psychologist) and Bruce Bartholow (a social neuroscientist) are currently working in the alcohol research area but have yet to receive R01 funding. A primary mentoring objective is to assistant both Drs. McCarthy and Bartholow to advance to this next stage of their career. The third proposed mentee, Douglas Steinley (a quantitative psychologist) is new to the alcohol research area but has made a commitment to alcohol research as a primary area of application to his basic methodology research and intends to prepare an application for a Mentored Quantitative Research Career Development Award (K25) under the tutelage of the applicant. For all applicants, mentoring goals involve providing guidance and support with respect to grantsmanship and development of mentees' research programs and also on more general professional development. Particularly attention will be given to working with mentees on their own effectiveness as mentors to graduate students and postdoctoral trainees. With respect to his research plan, the applicant plans to continue to pursue a broad research program that seeks to characterize core etiological processes in alcoholism with particular emphasis on understanding the life course of alcohol use disorders (AUDs) in the context of co-occurring psychopathology and human development. Using existing data sets and data sets currently under construction, the applicant proposes to continue research on the etiology, natural history, and consequences of pathological alcohol endorsement. Particular emphasis is placed on the analyses of prospective panel and event-based data that provide novel opportunities to study core developmental processes related to alcohol use, alcohol problems, and alcohol dependence in a highly refined and nuanced way that incorporates both contextual information and consideration of individual differences.
