Project Summary During the current funding period, this program has continued its outstanding record of educating scholars as independent investigators and leaders in drug-abuse research. Since the submission of our last competitive application in 2015, competition for support from this program has been robust, and all slots have been filled. Twenty-five pre-doctoral and 14 post-doctoral trainees have received support from the grant, these trainees have published 149 papers, and 10 pre-doctoral and 5 post-doctoral trainees have earned individual NIH fellowships. Looking forward, we are poised to continue this record of success. We have recruited 2 new drug-abuse faculty in pharmacology as well as 5 new faculty members with relevant skills and interests from other departments. Moreover, recognizing the many strengths of the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, the dean has authorized the recruitment of up to 10 additional well- established faculty to join our team of 22 drug-abuse faculty. Additionally, a large increase in the number of clinical faculty in recent years justifies our request to increase the number of both pre and post-doctoral trainees by 2. Further support for this requested increase comes from the fact that there are more than 90 research grants from NIDA at this institution, and this is the only institutional training grant. Our preceptors provide trainees with “cutting edge” expertise in molecular, cellular, behavioral, clinical, and translational research. The program continues to emphasize pharmacology, but it has truly developed into a university- wide program open to trainees from all schools and incorporating multiple disciplines. The broad academic scope of the program is accomplished through rigorous core courses and a wide variety of advanced electives, a high level of collaboration among mentors to include reciprocal service on thesis committees, and multiple excellent seminar series. Additional initiatives are proposed to increase the diversity of the trainees and enhance mentor training. These academic opportunities complement a research infrastructure supported by a NIDA P30 grant that provides for the development of genetically altered animals, sophisticated bioanalytical technology, and expertise in advanced gastrointestinal and neuropharmacology research methodologies. Academic and research training is further supplemented by guidance on teaching, professional development for a career in drug-abuse science, and all aspects of becoming a productive, independent researcher. Our goal is to build on the program’s established record of success by continuing to provide a rigorous and supportive atmosphere for training leading scholars in the drug-abuse field for the future.

项目摘要 在当前的资助期间，该计划继续对学者进行杰出的记录 作为药物滥用研究的独立研究者和领导者。自从我们上次提交以来 2015年的竞争应用程序，该计划的支持竞争非常强大，所有位置 已经填满了。二十五十五十五名和14名博士后学员已获得 这些受训者的格兰特（Grant）发表了149篇论文，10名博士后和5名博士后学员有 获得了个人NIH奖学金。展望未来，我们被毒死了，继续这一成功记录。我们 已经招募了2位药理学的新毒品教师以及5名新教师 来自其他部门的技能和兴趣。此外，认识到部门的许多优势 院长的药理学和毒理学，已授权招募多达10个额外的好处 成立的教职员工加入我们的22名毒品滥用教师的团队。此外，数字大幅增加 近年来，临床教师证明了我们要求增加前后数量的要求 受训者以2。对这一要求的进一步支持，从90多个事实中增加了 NIDA在该机构的研究赠款，这是唯一的机构培训补助金。我们的受体 为学员提供分子，细胞，行为，临床和翻译方面的“最前沿”专业知识 研究。该计划继续强调药理学，但它已经真正发展成为一所大学 - 广泛的计划向所有学校的学员开放，并融合了多个学科。广泛的学术 该计划的范围是通过严格的核心课程和各种高级的范围来完成的 选修课，导师之间的高度合作，包括在论文委员会上提供相互服务， 和多个出色的半身系列。提出了其他举措来增加 学员和增强培训。这些学术机会补充了一项研究 NIDA P30赠款支持的基础设施，该赠款提供了普遍更改的发展 动物，精致的生物分析技术以及晚期胃肠道和专业知识 神经药理学研究方法。学术和研究培训进一步补充 教学指南，药物滥用科学职业的专业发展以及所有方面 成为一名富有成效的独立研究人员。我们的目标是建立该计划的既定记录 通过继续为培训领先的学者提供严格而支持的氛围，从而取得成功 未来的毒品滥用领域。
