Substance Abuse Epidemiology Training Program (SAETP) at Columbia University

物质使用和物质使用障碍(SUD)是主要的公共卫生问题，其原因是 相关的残疾、共病和死亡率。应对这些负担需要尖端的公共卫生 由最高水平的科学家进行的研究。2012年，药物滥用流行病学培训 纽约市哥伦比亚大学欧文医学中心(CUIMC)成立了SAETP项目 以培养有才华的年轻科学家为目标，成为下一代实质性的领导者 虐待流行病学。通过竞争应用，SAETP成功地吸引了一批不同的 在培训期间和之后卓有成效并取得成功的研究员。已完成的SAETP研究员 在学术研究领域获得了享有盛誉的研究职位，许多人已经获得了自己的研究职位 独立资助。我们现在建议SAETP的下一个5年续订周期。SAETP存在于一个非常丰富的， 刺激的环境，提供无与伦比的学术医学中心资源。以及它的专业训练 对于药物滥用流行病学的职业生涯，SAETP在CUIMC是独一无二的。黛博拉·哈辛博士和西尔维娅博士 Martins，SAETP MPIs，是国际公认的药物滥用流行病学家，具有广泛的 成功的辅导经验。其他24名SAETP教员提供跨学科的专业知识(例如， 流行病学、精神病学、心理学、社会医学、生物统计学、护理学)，并有杰出的 出版、资助、合作和指导富有成效和成功的学员的记录。在任何给定时间 在更新时间上，SAETP将继续培训4名博士后研究员，每人培训3-5年， 4名博士后研究员，每个人的培训期为2-3年，一些人在目前的 周而复始。研究员将根据他们以前的成就，对药物滥用的承诺来选择 流行病学职业，并符合SAETP计划。为招收代表不足的少数群体所做的招聘工作 受训人员取得了成功，迄今有33%的SAETP研究员来自此类团体(目前为50%)；我们将 继续这些招聘工作。SAETP将提供广泛的、密集的药物滥用培训 流行病学及相关领域；一个或多个专业领域的深度；前沿方法论 技能、概念技能的发展，包括关键研究问题的表述和可测试性 假设，以及设计和进行高质量药物滥用流行病学研究的能力。研究员 将接受指导并参加许多培训内容，例如每周药物滥用 流行病学教员--研究员研讨会、研究实习、学术课程。研究员也将接受培训 在负责任的研究行为和研究的严谨性和重复性方面。SAETP培训将实现 研究员发表论文，磨练演讲技巧，学习撰写可资助的拨款提案，并增强 协作和领导能力。这种严谨、充实的培训将为新一代优秀人才做好准备 研究人员应解决物质使用和SUD的流行病学问题，这是迫在眉睫的公共卫生问题。

Substance use and substance use disorders (SUD) constitute major public health problems due to their associated disability, comorbidity and mortality. Addressing these burdens requires cutting-edge public health research conducted by scientists of the highest caliber. In 2012, the Substance Abuse Epidemiology Training Program (SAETP) at Columbia University Irving Medical Center (CUIMC) in New York City was established with the objective of training talented young scientists to become the next generation of leaders in substance abuse epidemiology. Through competitive applications, SAETP has successfully, attracted a diverse group of fellows that have been productive and successful during and after training. Completed SAETP fellows have attained prestigious research positions in academic research settings and many have obtained their own independent funding. We now propose the next 5-year renewal cycle for SAETP. SAETP exists in a very rich, stimulating environment, offering unparalleled academic medical center resources. With its specialized training for substance abuse epidemiology careers, SAETP is unique at CUIMC. Dr. Deborah Hasin and Dr. Silvia Martins, SAETP MPIs, are internationally recognized substance abuse epidemiologists with extensive successful mentoring experience. The 24 other SAETP faculty members offer interdisciplinary expertise (e.g., epidemiology, psychiatry, psychology, sociomedical sciences, biostatistics, nursing) and have outstanding records of publishing, funding, collaborations, and mentoring productive and successful trainees. At any given time in the renewal, SAETP will continue to train 4 pre-doctoral fellows for training periods of 3-5 years each, and 4 post-doctoral fellows for training periods of 2-3 years each, a number that has worked well in the current cycle. Fellows will be selected based on their prior accomplishments, commitment to substance abuse epidemiology careers, and fit with the SAETP program. Recruitment efforts to enroll under-represented minority trainees have been successful, with 33% of SAETP fellows from such groups to date (50% currently); we will continue these recruitment efforts. SAETP will provide broad, intensive training in substance abuse epidemiology and related areas; depth in one or more areas of specialization; cutting-edge methodological skills, development of conceptual skills, including formulation of key research questions and testable hypotheses, and the ability to design and conduct high-quality substance abuse epidemiology studies. Fellows will receive mentoring and participate in many training components, e.g., weekly substance abuse epidemiology faculty-fellow seminars, research internships, academic courses. Fellows will also receive training in the Responsible Conduct of Research and Rigor and Reproducibility in Research. SAETP training will enable fellows to publish papers, hone presentation skills, learn to write fundable grant proposals, and enhance collaboration and leadership skills. This rigorous, enriched training will prepare a new generation of outstanding researchers to address the epidemiology of substance use and SUD, which are urgent public health problems.
