DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This new application entitled "Training in drug abuse research: behavior and neurobiology" requests five years of funding to support a maximum of four postdoctoral fellows per year for interdisciplinary training in drug and alcohol abuse. Fellows primarily engaged in drug and alcohol research take two required courses and attend seminars, journal clubs, an annual retreat, and monthly chalk talks. Fellows will receive training in research and experimental design while participating in collaborative projects spanning at least two laboratories with different expertise and techniques. Training in translational investigation occurs in studies spanning molecular, animal, and human research. Scheduled activities provide career development, preparation for seeking an independent position, and training in the responsible conduct of research. Drug and alcohol abuse research and education at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UTHSCSA) is growing rapidly and the proposed postdoctoral training program is the first step in establishing an NIH-supported program that eventually will include predoctoral training as well. A Program Director with extensive mentoring and research experience will be assisted by Internal and External Advisory Committees. Participating NIH-supported faculty include senior and junior investigators who collectively have research expertise in the following areas in drug and alcohol abuse: molecular and receptor pharmacology; biochemical and neurochemical pharmacology; electrophysiology; preclinical behavioral pharmacology; and clinical trials. This program provides rigorous interdisciplinary training in behavioral and neurobiological research, thereby addressed a national demand for addiction scientists who can succeed in the current translational research environment.

描述（由申请人提供）：这项题为“药物滥用研究培训：行为和神经生物学”的新申请要求提供五年的资金，以支持每年最多四名博士后研究员进行药物和酒精滥用方面的跨学科培训。主要从事毒品和酒精研究的研究员必须参加两门必修课程，并参加研讨会、期刊俱乐部、年度静修会和每月的粉笔演讲。研究员将接受研究和实验设计方面的培训，同时参与至少两个具有不同专业知识和技术的实验室的合作项目。转化研究培训发生在分子、动物和人类研究领域。预定的活动提供职业发展、寻求独立职位的准备以及负责任的研究行为的培训。德克萨斯大学圣安东尼奥健康科学中心 (UTHSCSA) 的药物和酒精滥用研究和教育正在迅速发展，拟议的博士后培训计划是建立 NIH 支持计划的第一步，该计划最终还将包括博士前培训。具有丰富指导和研究经验的项目总监将得到内部和外部咨询委员会的协助。参与 NIH 支持的教师包括高级和初级研究人员，他们共同拥有药物和酒精滥用以下领域的研究专业知识：分子和受体药理学；生化和神经化学药理学；电生理学；临床前行为药理学；和临床试验。该计划提供行为和神经生物学研究方面严格的跨学科培训，从而满足了国家对能够在当前转化研究环境中取得成功的成瘾科学家的需求。
