DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In this proposal, we describe a collaborative, predoctoral interdisciplinary training program that will produce scholars who will receive rigorous grounding in an academic discipline (health economics, policy analysis, or organizational theory) and who will acquire extensive training and research experience in addiction. The proposal builds on the considerable strengths of current teaching, clinical, and research enterprises at Yale University. We link state-of-the-art methods with some of the nation's leading clinical and research experts in addiction. The primary focus will be on illicit drugs, tobacco and HIV/AIDS as a critical comorbidity occurring with HIV/AIDS. Our request for the next 5 years is for 4 predoctoral positions. Students will enroll in a well-established PhD program in the Health Policy and Administration (HPA) division at Yale School of Public Health. Students will be trained through formal classes, seminars, and mentored research. Each student will be required to obtain expertise in a disciplinary area: health economics, policy analysis or organizational theory, as well as econometrics and biostatistics. Ethical conduct is taught and required for the trainees. They will also learn about addiction in the Division of Substance Abuse (DSA) in Psychiatry at the Yale School of Medicine, as well as through an integrative course taught by Dr. Sindelar. Students will attend existing comprehensive addiction research seminars in DSA and participate in an expanded version of a current course on addiction policy offered by Dr. Sindelar. Two seminars in health services research in HPA will also be required. This curriculum will uniquely prepare students for a career in addiction health services research. Faculty mentors on this proposal have outstanding productivity in research, external funding, teaching, mentoring and training predoctoral and postdoctoral fellows. Many have long-term, productive collaborations with each other through research centers. Thirty mentors have been selected primarily from HPA and DSA. Trainees will be required, and have ample opportunities, to apply their interdisciplinary training to ongoing research in substance abuse treatment, addiction health services research and policies applied to addiction. By attracting a diverse group of high-quality, motivated, predoctoral trainees and providing them in-depth training, excellent mentoring and a rich, interdisciplinary research environment, we expect to produce the next generation of experts in addiction health economics, health services research, and policy analysis. Trainees will produce research that is policy-oriented, population-based and addresses both prevention and treatment, with a goal of improving lives of addicted individuals and reducing the negative impact of addiction on society. Note that while there are multiple training programs at Yale, there is no doctoral-level training program at Yale focused specifically on health economics, policy analysis, and organizational theory as applied to addicted populations.

描述（由申请人提供）：在本提案中，我们描述了一项协作，前学的跨学科培训计划，该计划将产生学者，这些学者将在学科（健康经济学，政策分析或组织理论）中获得严格的基础，并将获得丰富的成瘾培训和研究经验。该提案以耶鲁大学目前的教学，临床和研究企业的相当大的优势为基础。我们将最先进的方法与全国一些领先的临床和成瘾研究专家联系起来。主要的重点将放在非法药物，烟草和艾滋病毒/艾滋病上，这是艾滋病毒/艾滋病发生的重要合并症。我们对未来5年的要求是针对4个职位。 学生将在耶鲁大学公共卫生学院的卫生政策与管理部（HPA）部门参加一项公认的博士学位课程。学生将通过正规课程，研讨会和指导研究对学生进行培训。每个学生将被要求在纪律领域获得专业知识：健康经济学，政策分析或组织理论以及计量经济学和生物统计学。教学人员教导和需要道德行为。他们还将通过耶鲁大学医学院的精神病学滥用药物滥用（DSA）的成瘾以及通过辛德拉尔博士教授的综合课程。学生将参加DSA中现有的全面成瘾研究研讨会，并参加Sindelar博士提供的有关成瘾政策课程的扩展版本。还需要在HPA进行两个卫生服务研究研讨会。该课程将为学生提供成瘾健康服务研究职业的唯一准备。 该建议的教师导师在研究，外部资金，教学，指导和培训前和博士后研究员方面具有出色的生产力。许多人通过研究中心与彼此之间进行了长期，富有成效的合作。三十位导师主要来自HPA和DSA。需要学员，并有足够的机会将其跨学科培训应用于正在进行的药物滥用治疗，成瘾健康服务研究和适用成瘾的政策的持续研究中。 通过吸引各种各样的高质量，积极进取的学员，并为他们提供深入的培训，出色的指导以及丰富的跨学科研究环境，我们希望能够创造下一代成瘾健康经济学，卫生服务研究和政策分析的下一代专家。受训者将进行以政策为导向的研究，以人群为基础，并涉及预防和治疗，以改善上瘾个人的生活并减少成瘾对社会的负面影响。请注意，尽管耶鲁大学有多个培训计划，但耶鲁大学没有专门针对健康经济学，政策分析和组织理论的博士学位培训计划，适用于上瘾的人群。
