Supporting Early Career and Minority Drug Abuse Research at the APA Convention

 该NIDA R13赠款旨在传播成瘾和健康差异领域的前沿研究，同时还支持早期职业调查员的专业发展（ECIs;研究生，博士后研究员和新研究员在10年内完成他们的终端研究学位）在美国心理协会（阿帕）的年度大会上。阿帕是美国最大的心理学家，他们的教育者和他们的实习生组织。阿帕成员包括广泛的博士前和博士后心理学实习生，早期，中期职业生涯和心理学高级研究人员，以及从事临床实践，应用研究，教学和行政工作的心理学家。NIDA R13将与阿帕的两个部门合作-第28部门（精神药理学和药物滥用）和第50部门（成瘾心理学协会）。这两个部门充满了NIDA获奖者和其他致力于药物相关研究的人。NIDA R13的主要目标有两个：（1）传播尖端成瘾研究，重点是影响服务不足和研究不足社区的健康差异。(2)促进心理学界下一代成瘾研究人员的发展。第一个目标将通过支持28和50司会议计划内的尖端成瘾研究来实现。这将采取为两个专题讨论会的发言者提供差旅支助的形式，并通过印刷的“成瘾和健康差异研究要点”小册子、[该司网站、电子媒体和社交媒体平台]向与会者传播。第二个目标将通过为ECIs提供30个旅行奖励，举办ECI海报会议和社交时间，以及[开发动态] ECI职业发展研讨会[旨在发展成瘾和健康差异研究，与高级研究人员建立联系，并将ECIs纳入未来的阿帕计划]来实现。这笔赠款的目标与NIDA的战略计划一致，将尽一切努力确保NIDA R13方案将包括妇女和代表性不足的少数民族。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This NIDA R13 grant is designed to disseminate cutting-edge research in the areas of addictions and health disparities, while also supporting the professional development of Early Career Investigators (ECIs; graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and new investigators within 10-years of completing their terminal research degree) at the annual convention of the American Psychological Association (APA). The APA is the largest organization of psychologists, their educators, and their trainees in the United States. The APA membership is comprised of a wide array of pre- and post-doctoral psychology trainees, early, mid-career, and senior researchers in psychology, and psychologists working in clinical practice, applied research, teaching, and administrative work. This NIDA R13 will be in partnership with two divisions within APA - Division 28 (Psychopharmacology and Substance Abuse) and Division 50 (Society of Addiction Psychology). These two divisions are replete with NIDA awardees and others devoted to drug- related research. The primary goals of this NIDA R13 are twofold: (1) to disseminate cutting-edge addictions research with an emphasis on health disparities affecting underserved and understudied communities. (2) To foster the development of the next generation of addictions researchers in the psychological community. The first goal will be achieved by supporting cutting-edge addictions research within the Division 28 and 50 conference programs. This will take in the form of travel support for speakers in two symposia and disseminated to conference attendees via a print "Addictions and Health Disparities Research Highlights" brochure, [division websites, electronic media, and social media platforms]. The second goal will be achieved by providing 30 travel awards to ECIs, hosting the ECI Poster Session and Social Hour, and [developing dynamic] ECI career development workshops [aimed at developing grantsmanship in addictions and health disparities research, networking with senior investigators, and integrating ECIs in future APA programming]. The goals of this grant are consistent with NIDA's Strategic Plan and every effort will be made to ensure NIDA R13 programming will be inclusive of women and underrepresented minorities.
