Helping Everyone Achieve a LifeTime of Health - Future Addiction Scientist Training

项目摘要/摘要 健康研究所是在密歇根大学成立的，目的是推行一项大胆的研究议程，旨在解决 健康差距对我们最脆弱的社区造成的公共卫生危机。投资新的NIDA UH的R25代表着在建立未来物质多样化管道方面的出色战略投资 虐待科学家给出了我们的：(1)中心位置可以说是种族最多元化的大都市地区 (约44%拉美裔、~26%白人、~23%黑人和~7%亚洲人)；(2)唯一的Tier-1研究之一 拥有西班牙裔服务机构(HSI)的机构以及亚裔美国人和土著美国人 太平洋岛民服务机构(AANAPISI)名称；(3)~400名卫生研究人员和 97学位课程将受益于一个专注于药物滥用的研究教育项目 鉴于休斯顿被指定为高强度贩毒地区(HTDTA)；以及(4)机构 对卫生研究所的投资，该研究所将容纳拟议的NIDA R25，以确保其满足 大学内外的药物滥用教育和研究培训。这种健康--未来 成瘾科学家培训(Health-FAST)计划将重点放在每年登记和推进 博士(n=4)、博士后(n=2)和早期调查(ESI)实习生(n=2)的职业生涯-- 在5年的资助中，共有40名来自健康科学专业背景不足的学员 句号。这将通过成功完成4个具体目标来实现：(1)确定、选择、教育和 指导来自健康领域代表性不足群体的高资质博士、博士后和ESI实习生 药物滥用科学的研究生涯，重点是与ATOD相关慢性病的联系 和健康差距；(2)开发前沿的药物滥用研究教育课程，将 包括一系列反映新兴国家趋势不同活动，以促进丰富 教育经验；(3)提高有效传播创新科学研究所需的技能 专业会议和同行评议期刊，同时加快学员的 确保NIDA赠款资金的竞争力；以及(4)系统地评估保健快速进程， 实时编程和学员成果数据，以展示NIDA的投资回报和信息 根据需要进行数据驱动的程序修改。鉴于拟议的卫生公平跨学科方法 科学，健康快速计划将利用7所大学和12所学术机构的计划教师导师 单位(即生物医学工程、生物医学科学、临床科学、电气与计算机工程； 健康与人类绩效；健康系统与人口健康科学；药物化学； 药物健康结果和政策；心理、健康和学习科学；心理学；生物学 生物化学和社会工作)执行一个尖端的研究教育项目。

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The HEALTH Research Institute was established at UH to pursue a bold research agenda aimed at addressing the public health crises health disparities inflict on our most vulnerable communities. Investing in a new NIDA R25 at UH represents an excellent strategic investment in establishing a diverse pipeline of future substance abuse scientists given our: (1) central location in arguably the most ethnically diverse metropolitan area (~44% Latinx, ~26% White, ~23% Black, and ~7% Asian) in the U.S.; (2) one of the only Tier-1 research institutions with a Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI) and Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institution (AANAPISI) designation; (3) ~400 health research faculty and 97 degree programs who will benefit from a research education program that focuses on substance abuse given Houston’s designation as a high-intensity drug trafficking area (HTDTA); and (4) the institutional investment in the HEALTH Research Institute which will house this proposed NIDA R25 to ensure it addresses substance abuse education and research training across the University and beyond. This HEALTH – Future Addiction Scientist Training (HEALTH-FAST) Program will focus on annually enrolling and advancing the careers of Doctoral (n=4), Postdoctoral (n=2), and Early Stage Investigators (ESI) Trainees (n=2) – with a total of 40 Trainees from underrepresented backgrounds in the health sciences across the 5-year funding period. This will be achieved by the successful completion of 4 specific aims: (1) Identify, select, educate, and mentor highly qualified Doctoral, Postdoctoral, and ESI Trainees from underrepresented groups in the health sciences for substance abuse research careers with an emphasis on linkages to ATOD-related chronic diseases and health disparities; (2) Develop a cutting-edge substance abuse research education curriculum that will include an array of diverse activities that are reflective of emerging national trends to facilitate an enriching educational experience; (3) Advance skills needed to effectively disseminate innovative scientific research at professional meetings and in peer-reviewed journals, while simultaneously accelerating Trainees’ competitiveness to secure NIDA grant funding; and (4) Systematically evaluate HEALTH-FAST processes, programming, and Trainee outcome data in real-time to demonstrate a NIDA return on investment and inform data-driven program modifications as needed. Given the proposed transdisciplinary approach to health-equity science, the HEALTH-FAST Program will leverage Program Faculty Mentors across 7 colleges and 12 academic units (i.e., Biomedical Engineering; Biomedical Sciences; Clinical Sciences; Electrical & Computer Engineering; Health & Human Performance; Health Systems & Population Health Sciences; Medicinal Chemistry; Pharmaceutical Health Outcomes and Policy; Psychological, Health, & Learning Sciences; Psychology; Biology & Biochemistry; and Social Work) to execute a cutting-edge research education program.
