DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): A Mentored Research Scientist Development Award (MRSDA; K01) from NIAAA is requested that will facilitate the candidate's development into a productive and independent research scientist in the field of help-seeking and treatment for alcohol problems. Over the course of a 5-year plan, the award will provide the time and resources necessary for the candidate to receive extensive training and mentoring. Specifically, the award will address 5 primary areas of the candidate's career development: l) to gain a solid foundation in alcohol-related help-seeking; 2) to strengthen advanced methodological and statistical skills; 3) to implement a longitudinal study of help-seeking in individuals with alcohol problems (see below); 4) to develop a grant proposal (R01) for a more encompassing study of help-seeking behavior; 5) to foster development in the ethical conduct of research. The mentors for the MRSDA, Drs. Gerard Connors and Kimberly Walitzer, as well as the consultants, Drs. Jalie Tucker and Bernice Pescosolido, and the statistician, Dr. Tenko Raykov, constitute a strong team that will be fundamental to the candidate's career development during the award period. In addition, the resources at the Research Institute on Addictions provide an ideal environment for developing a career in addictions research, as well as the best possible setting for conducting the research study proposed in this application. The proposed study will recruit individuals with a range of alcohol problem severity, and will track their help-seeking behavior over a two-year period. The study will assess attitudes and beliefs about alcohol and alcohol treatment as potential predictors of help-seeking for alcohol problems. This study will be the first to examine this constellation of predictors prospectively, which will allow for investigation of decisions to enter treatment as a process, rather than as a single event. In the context of the MRSDA, the proposed study, in combination with advanced training and mentoring, will provide the foundation for a programmatic plan of help-seeking and treatment outcome research.

描述（由申请人提供）：要求获得 NIAAA 的指导研究科学家发展奖（MRSDA；K01），该奖将有助于候选人发展成为酒精问题寻求帮助和治疗领域的富有成效的独立研究科学家。在五年计划的过程中，该奖项将为候选人提供接受广泛培训和指导所需的时间和资源。具体来说，该奖项将涉及候选人职业发展的 5 个主要领域： l) 在与酒精相关的寻求帮助方面打下坚实的基础； 2）加强先进的方法和统计技能； 3) 对有酗酒问题的个人寻求帮助进行纵向研究（见下文）； 4) 制定一项资助提案（R01），以对寻求帮助行为进行更全面的研究； 5）促进研究道德行为的发展。 MRSDA 的导师，博士。杰拉德·康纳斯 (Gerard Connors) 和金伯利·瓦利策 (Kimberly Walitzer) 以及顾问博士。 Jalie Tucker 和 Bernice Pescosolido 以及统计学家 Tenko Raykov 博士组成了一支强大的团队，这对候选人在获奖期间的职业发展至关重要。此外，成瘾研究所的资源为成瘾研究事业的发展提供了理想的环境，也为开展本申请中提出的研究提供了最佳的环境。 拟议的研究将招募具有不同程度酒精问题严重程度的个体，并在两年内跟踪他们的寻求帮助行为。该研究将评估人们对酒精和酒精治疗的态度和信念，作为酒精问题寻求帮助的潜在预测因素。这项研究将是第一个前瞻性地检查这一系列预测因素的研究，这将允许将进入治疗的决定作为一个过程而不是单个事件进行调查。在 MRSDA 的背景下，拟议的研究与高级培训和指导相结合，将为寻求帮助和治疗结果研究的规划计划奠定基础。
