Addiction Scientists Strengthened though Education and Training (ASSET)

项目总结/摘要 当我们拥有多样化的研究队伍时，科学进步更好;努力促进物质使用 研究和成瘾科学没有什么不同。为了实现这一进步，并响应PAR-19-246， 我们建议通过教育和培训加强成瘾科学家（ASSET）计划 旨在改善多元化成瘾科学家队伍的长期参与，以满足日益增长的美国 需要有效预防和治疗药物使用障碍。ASSET核心教师谁将指导 受训人员本身是物质使用研究的各种领导者，从基础科学家到临床 公共卫生研究人员。我们一起做好准备，培养未来的领导者在该领域， 成瘾科学，领导者谁自己将被授权和启发，提供教育，指导， 以及培养未来的成瘾科学家的培训。我们建议的资产 该计划将利用现有的圣地亚哥州立大学（SDSU）、加州大学圣地亚哥分校（UCSD） 教育资源和培训能力，沿着核心教师的指导，以支持博士后 研究员，成瘾精神病学临床研究员和初级教师在他们的专业成长，成为 独立的物质使用/成瘾科学家和临床研究人员。我们的计划将包括一个两级 “指导导师”部分，教师导师将会面讨论他们的导师经验 并相互指导，为不同的学员磨练指导技能。受训者本身将发展技能 克服研究职业发展的常见障碍。我们的ASSET计划将为学员提供一支 经验丰富和多样化的导师，再加上有针对性的培训，研究和实习计划， 资助机会侧重于物质使用和成瘾科学。我们的具体目标是：1. 开发一个短期（10周）实习计划（ASSET）与跨学科的研究和职业生涯 为URM博士后研究员、临床成瘾精神病学研究员和初级教师提供发展培训 （学员）谁渴望成为独立的研究人员在成瘾研究; 2.提供URM学员， 研究知识，技能和指导的职业发展培训，成为独立的研究人员 以及物质使用和成瘾科学领域的领导者，包括“硬技能”-手稿写作， 保证有效和自信地设计和进行关于物质使用和“软技能”的研究- 网络建设、谈判和管理URM调查员通常面临的问题; 3.培训URM ASSET受训人员负责进行人类受试者的研究，并给予特别考虑 在跨文化环境中与URM和弱势群体合作;以及4.促进城市资源管理学员的 向独立研究过渡，为ASSET学员提供同行评审的发展“种子”赠款， 为他们提供旅费赠款，以获得制定成功的 在物质使用研究和成瘾科学中的研究建议和“启动泵”。

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Science advances better when we have a diverse research workforce; efforts to advance substance use research and addiction science are no different. Towards this advancement, and in response to PAR-19-246, we propose the Addiction Scientists Strengthened through Education and Training (ASSET) program designed to improve long-term engagement of a diverse addiction scientist workforce to meet the growing U.S. need for effective prevention and treatment of substance use disorders. ASSET Core Faculty who will mentor trainees are themselves diverse leaders in substance use research, from basic scientists to clinical researchers to public health researchers. Together we are well positioned to train future leaders in the field of addiction science, leaders who themselves will be empowered and inspired to provide education, mentorship and training to nurture future addiction scientists from underrepresented groups. Our proposed ASSET program will leverage existing San Diego State University (SDSU), University of California, San Diego (UCSD) educational resources and training capacity, along with mentorship from core faculty to support postdoctoral fellows, addiction psychiatry clinical fellows, and junior faculty in their professional growth to become independent substance use/addiction scientists and clinical researchers. Our program will include a two-level ‘mentoring the mentor’ component where faculty mentors will meet to discuss their mentorship experiences and coach each other on honing mentorship skills for diverse trainees. Trainees themselves will develop skills to overcome common barriers to research career growth. Our ASSET program will offer trainees a team of experienced and diverse mentors, coupled with an internship program with targeted training, research and funding opportunities focused on substance use and addiction science. Our specific objectives are to: 1. Develop a short-term (10-week) internship program (ASSET) with interdisciplinary research and career development training for URM postdoctoral fellows, clinical addiction psychiatry fellows, and junior faculty (trainees) who aspire to become independent researchers in addiction research; 2.Provide URM trainees with research knowledge, skills, and mentored career development training to become independent researchers and leaders in the field of substance use and addiction science, including ‘hard skills’ – manuscript writing, & grantsmanship to effectively and confidently design and conduct studies on substance use and ‘soft skills’ – network-building, negotiation, and managing issues commonly faced by URM investigators; 3.Train URM ASSET trainees in the responsible conduct of research with human subjects, with special consideration given to working with URM and disadvantaged populations in cross-cultural settings; and 4. Promote URM trainees’ transition to independent research by offering ASSET trainees peer-reviewed developmental ‘seed’ grants and travel grants for them to gain critical, hands-on, professional experience on formulation of a successful research proposal and ‘prime the pump’ in substance use research and addiction science.
