EDUCATION CORE

教育核心的具体目标是：1）整合和创造临床前 MARC内部以及MARC研究者与其他NIDA资助中心之间的临床研究者; 2） 通过将临床前学员（NIDA/NIAAA培训补助金）与 临床研究者和临床实习生（精神病学住院医师和研究员）与临床前研究者; 3） 为MARC研究人员设计职业发展计划，以改善他们的沟通，演示 和指导技能和评估工具，用于衡量该计划的影响;以及4）产生 研究人员有机会向国家会议论坛和 通过社区外展和K-12学校教育计划向公众提供服务。 教育核心将与行为神经科学系的学术单位协调 俄勒冈州健康与科学大学精神卫生和临床医学系 退伍军人管理局医疗中心的神经科学。MARC的目标是支持健康， 大学的教育和社区服务使命，以促进健康的生活方式，并改善 俄勒冈州公民的科学素养。该大学已作出实质性承诺，建立 通过资助科学推广与资源委员会（SOAR），开展有效的科学教育 和科学教育机会办公室MARC研究人员受益于丰富的 有机会与公众分享他们的研究成果，通过许多校园的科学之一， 教育活动，包括大脑意识周和心理健康周庆祝活动。独特的 培训与推广机会相结合，使每一位MARC研究人员都有机会完善他们的 交流技能，并更有效地传播其研究成果。

The specific aims of the Education Core are: 1) to integrate and create synergies between the pre-clinical and clinical investigators within MARC and between MARC investigators and other NIDA-funded centers; 2) engage trainees in translational research by pairing pre-clinical trainees (NIDA/NIAAA training grant) with clinical investigators and clinical trainees (psychiatry residents and fellows) with pre-clinical investigators; 3) design a career development program for MARC researchers to improve their communication, presentation and mentoring skills and an evaluation tool for measuring the program's impact; and 4) generate opportunites for the researchers to present their research findings to a national conference forum and to the public through community outreach and K-12 school education programs. The Education Core will coordinate with the academic units of the Departments of Behavioral Neuroscience and Psychiatry at the Oregon Health & Science University and of the Division of Mental Health and Clinical Neuroscience at the Veterans Administration Medical Center. The goals of the MARC support the health, education and community service missions of the University to promote healthy lifestyles and to improve science literacy of Oregon citizenry. The University has made a substantial commitment to establishing effective science education through its funding of the Science Outreach & Resources (SOAR) Committee and the Office of Science Education Opportunites. MARC researchers benefit from the wealth of opportunities to share their research findings with the public through one of the many campus' science education events including the Brain Awareness Week and Mental Health Week celebrations. The unique training combined with outreach opportunities gives every MARC researchers a chance to refine their communications skills and to more effectively disseminate their research findings.
