DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed Interdisciplinary Research Training Institute (IRTI) on Hispanic Drug Abuse seeks to promote the career development of pre-doctoral, postdoctoral and early career clinically-focused scientists interested in conducting research as it affects the Hispanic population. This comprehensive and coordinated research education program aims at providing research experience and increasing the skills required for development of testable hypothesis, preparation and submission of research applications for appropriate NIH extramural funding (i.e. K01, K08, F31, F32, R03, R21, etc). Building upon the National Hispanic Science Network's Summer Research Training Institute, the IRTI has two short-term goals and two long-term goals as follows: (1) enhancing the fellows' knowledge and skills for conducting interdisciplinary research on drug abuse; (2) increasing the number of early career faculty who establish vibrant and independent programs of drug abuse research, (3) increasing the amount and quality of research on minority health and health disparities; and, (4) improving the health of minorities in part by decreasing minority health disparities. The aims of the IRTI are: 1. Provide an educational training opportunity that will enhance the skills for conducting interdisciplinary Hispanic drug research and developing applications for NIH funding among pre-doctoral, postdoctoral and early career faculty (fellows) through the implementation of a 14 day intensive summer research training program; 2. Execute a mentoring plan that would be organized and structured around a team of interdisciplinary mentors that would be accessible and available to provide selected fellows with focused mentoring and continual support; and 3. Provide a networking structure and process that will assist fellows in building and maintaining relationships and communication with leading experts in the field of Hispanic drug research and fellow peers. Overall, mentoring activities will focus on guiding and assisting the fellows in achieving benchmarks of progress including: a) Academic Career Progress; b) Scientific Publications; c) Scientific Presentations and d) Research Funding. These outcomes will be facilitated through various types of support including: Mentor Commitment, Travel to Mentor Institution, Conferences/Workshops, and IRTI Mentoring Annual Meeting and IRTI Scientific Conference. The complex and technical nature of contemporary drug abuse research and the growing demands for drug-related knowledge across several disciplines requires that competitive research investigators develop a broad-based set of scientific knowledge and scientific research skills that will facilitate the conduct of interdisciplinary drug abuse research in the interest of public health. The proposed IRTI and its mentorship and networking components will begin to fill the gap in knowledge of how to effectively develop specific incubators that will be successful in growing a special generation of drug abuse research scientists. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The proposed Interdisciplinary Research Training Institute (IRTI) on Hispanic Drug Abuse seeks to promote the career development of pre-doctoral, postdoctoral and early career clinically-focused scientists interested in conducting research as it affects the Hispanic population. The complex and technical nature of contemporary drug abuse research and the growing demands for drug-related knowledge across several disciplines requires that competitive research investigators develop a broad-based set of scientific knowledge and scientific research skills that will facilitate the conduct of interdisciplinary drug abuse research. Interdisciplinary research teams of tomorrow are needed in addressing health disparities, a major public health problem for which new knowledge from several areas of science must be integrated to define and address extant vulnerabilities, and to develop effective prevention and treatment interventions.

描述（由申请人提供）：关于西班牙裔药物滥用的拟议跨学科研究培训研究所（IRTI）旨在促进博士前，博士后和早期职业生涯的职业发展，因为它影响了对西班牙裔人群的影响。这项全面和协调的研究教育计划旨在提供研究经验，并提高开发可检验的假设，准备和提交研究申请的技能，以进行适当的NIH壁外资金（即K01，K01，K08，F31，F32，F32，R03，R03，R21等）。在国家西班牙科学网络的夏季研究培训学院的基础上，IRTI有两个短期目标和两个长期目标，如下所示：（1）增强研究员对滥用药物滥用进行跨学科研究的知识和技能； （2）增加建立充满活力和独立药物滥用研究计划的早期职业教师的数量，（3）增加少数民族健康和健康差异的研究数量和质量； （4）通过减少少数民族健康差异的一部分改善少数民族的健康。 IRTI的目的是：1。提供一个教育培训机会，该机会将增强跨学科的西班牙裔药物研究和开发NIH资金的应用，以通过实施14天的夏季研究培训计划，以实施14天的夏季研究培训计划； 2.执行指导计划，该计划将围绕一个跨学科指导者团队组织和结构，该计划将可以访问并可以为选定的研究员提供重点的指​​导和持续的支持； 3。提供一个网络结构和过程，将有助于研究员建立和维持与西班牙裔药物研究和同伴领域的领先专家的关系以及交流。总体而言，指导活动将着重于指导和协助研究员实现进步基准，包括：a）学术职业进步； b）科学出版物； c）科学演示和d）研究资金。这些结果将通过各种类型的支持来促进：导师承诺，前往导师机构，会议/研讨会以及IRTI指导年度会议和IRTI科学会议。当代药物滥用研究的复杂和技术性质以及对几个学科的与药物相关知识的不断增长的需求要求，竞争性研究研究人员开发了一套广泛的科学知识和科学研究技巧，这将促进为公共卫生的利益而进行跨学科滥用研究。拟议的IRTI及其指导和网络组成部分将开始填补有关如何有效开发特定的孵化器的知识的空白，这些孵化器将成功发展一系列的药物滥用研究科学家。公共卫生相关性：拟议的跨学科研究培训研究所（IRTI）对西班牙裔药物滥用旨在促进博士前，博士后和早期职业生涯的职业发展，临床临床专注的科学家感兴趣，因为它影响了对西班牙裔人群的影响。当代药物滥用研究的复杂和技术性质以及对几个学科中与药物有关的知识的不断增长的需求要求竞争性的研究研究人员开发一组基于广泛的科学知识和科学研究技巧，以促进跨学科的药物滥用研究的行为。在解决健康差异时需要明天的跨学科研究团队，这是一个主要的公共卫生问题，必须将来自科学多个领域的新知识整合起来，以定义和解决现存的脆弱性，并开发有效的预防和治疗干预措施。
