APPLICANT'S ABSTRACT: Training in the Behavioral Pharmacology of Human Drug Dependence Behavioral pharmacology of human drug dependence is critically concerned with the factors that contribute to human drug taking and the development of treatments of such public health concerns as IV drug abuse associated with the spread of AIDS. Prior training programs in the behavioral pharmacology of human drug dependence have not adequately emphasized graduate training of either psychology or medical students. In this competing continuation we propose to continue our training program which trains 3 predoctoral psychology students, 3 predoctoral medical students, and 3 postdoctoral (M.D. or Ph.D.) fellows in the behavioral pharmacology of human drug dependence. The 3 core faculty consist of 2 Ph.D.s and 1 M.D. who have joint appointments in Psychiatry, Psychology and Family Practice. These core faculty have 8 NIDA, 1 NIAAA, and 2 drug company grants. Research opportunities range from laboratory studies of human drug discrimination and self- administration to clinical outpatient studies of behavioral and pharmacological treatments of IV cocaine and heroin dependence. Training is conducted at either the 6,000 square ft. Human Behavioral Pharmacology Laboratory or its 2,000 square ft. outpatient clinical research site. Trainees are selected on the basis of excellence in their scholastic record and by their commitment to a career in drug abuse research. Predoctoral psychology students are required to take psychology courses - courses developed specifically for this training program, and complete master's and doctoral theses. Medical students are enrolled in a summer internship program that provides didactic training as well as `hands on' experience. Post-doctoral students have the opportunity to fill in gaps in their education via course-work as well as conduct independent research. The training period will generally be 4 to 5 years for Ph.D. candidates and 2 to 3 years for post-doctoral fellows. Each trainee has a primary advisor from the core faculty. An annual off-campus retreat permits trainees to present their research and discuss research issues. Additionally, they attend colloquia in the Psychology and Psychiatry Departments. The proposed project will continue to train human behavioral pharmacologists to empirically examine behavioral and pharmacological factors contributing to drug taking, the consequences of consuming drugs, and how that basic understanding translates to novel treatments for drug dependence and IV drug abuse. This training program will continue to develop individuals qualified to be independent researchers in the human behavioral pharmacology of drug dependence.

申请人的摘要：对人类药物依赖的人类药物依赖行为药理学的培训至关重要地关注导致人类药物服用的因素以及与艾滋病传播相关的IV药物滥用等公共卫生问题的治疗的发展。人类药物依赖行为药理学的先前培训计划尚未充分强调心理学或医学生的研究生培训。在这种竞争的延续中，我们建议继续我们的培训计划，该计划在人类药物依赖的行为药理学中培训3名培训专业的心理学专业学生，3名医学专业学生和3名博士后（M.D.或Ph.D.）研究员。这3个核心教师包括2个博士学位和1台M.D.，他们在精神病学，心理学和家庭实践中有共同任命。这些核心教师有8个NIDA，1名NIAAA和2家药品公司补助金。研究机会范围从人类药物歧视和自我管理的实验室研究到对静脉可卡因和海洛因依赖性行为和药理治疗的临床门诊研究。培训是在6,000平方英尺的人类行为药理学实验室或其2,000平方英尺的门诊临床研究地点进行的。 基于学业记录和对药物滥用研究职业的承诺，受训者是根据卓越的卓越成绩选择的。需要专业的心理学专业的学生参加心理学课程 - 专门为该培训计划开发的课程，并完成硕士和博士论文。 医学生将参加暑期实习计划，该计划提供教学培训以及“动手”经验。博士后学生有机会通过课程和进行独立研究来填补他们的教育空白。博士学位的培训期通常为4至5年。候选人和2至3年的博士后研究员。 每个学员都有来自核心教师的主要顾问。 年度校外务虚会允许学员介绍他们的研究并讨论研究问题。 此外，他们参加了心理学和精神病学部门的座谈会。拟议的项目将继续培训人类行为药理学家，以凭经验检查有助于药物服用的行为和药理因素，消费药物的后果以及基本理解如何转化为对药物依赖和IV药物滥用的新颖治疗方法。该培训计划将继续发展有资格成为药物依赖人类行为药理的独立研究人员的个人。
