This application seeks support from the National Institute on Drug Abuse R25 mechanism for pre-doctoral and postdoctoral research positions, infrastructure and workshops at the Virginia Institute for Psychiatric and Behavioral Genetics (VIPBG) at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU). The overall goal of this research education program is to provide an environment for the innovative development and applications of statistical genetics methodology relevant to substance use, abuse and dependence (SUAD). Our research education program will be further developed with new courses in Statistical Innovation, Advanced Statistical Genetics, Epidemiology of Drug Abuse and Neuroscience to foster interdisciplinary research, a key component of NIDA's mission. The research education program consists of predoctoral and postdoctoral components. Pre-doctoral participants pursue degrees in Psychiatric, Behavioral and Statistical Genetics, Human & Molecular Genetics, Biostatistics or Computer Science. This component is designed to recruit potential future investigators to research in statistical genetics focused on SUAD. The aim is to create a cohort of PhD graduates who have been exposed to, and begun to publish research in, this area. The postdoctoral component recognizes that many promising researchers have training relevant to, but not focused on, the statistical genetics of SUAD. This flexible 2-3 year post doctoral training component guides young investigators to this field of study and provides them with integrated training that enables them to pursue careers in statistical genetics of SUAD. Research education is intended for individuals with training in mathematics, statistics, biostatistics, genetics, psychology, computer science or pharmacology and to those who have completed their clinical requirements for the MD degree. The postdoctoral component aims to educate independent investigators who contribute to efforts to identify and characterize the genetic and environmental determinants of SUAD, its development, prevention and treatment. Accordingly we: i) Offer and carefully monitor a multidisciplinary integrated research training program with a wide range of research opportunities; ii) Meet the needs for training in emerging research areas in SUAD; iii) Provide formal education and intensive mentoring to researchers from diverse academic and ethnic backgrounds; iv) Offer a specialized curriculum that merges strengths in SUAD research at our institution with training in methodological innovation; and v) Disseminate course materials, developed software, user guides and example scripts to the wider community by teaching workshops and maintaining a website with webcasts, podcasts and script libraries.

该申请寻求美国国家药物滥用研究所R25机制的支持 弗吉尼亚州的博士前和博士后研究职位，基础设施和研讨会 弗吉尼亚联邦大学的精神和行为遗传学研究所（VIPBG） （VCU）。该研究教育计划的总体目标是为 统计遗传学方法的创新发展和应用与 物质使用，滥用和依赖（SUAD）。我们的研究教育计划将进一步 由统计创新，高级统计遗传学的新课程开发 药物滥用和神经科学的流行病学以促进跨学科研究，这是关键 NIDA任务的组成部分。研究教育计划包括占主导地位和 博士后组件。博士前的参与者攻读精神病学的学位 以及统计遗传学，人与分子遗传学，生物统计学或计算机科学。这 组成部分旨在招募潜在的未来研究者来研究统计遗传学 专注于苏德。目的是创建一群暴露于的博士学位毕业生 并开始在此领域发表研究。博士后组件认识到许多 有前途的研究人员已经接受了与但不关注但不关注的培训 苏德。这项灵活的2 - 3年博士后培训组成部分指导年轻的研究者 研究领域并为他们提供集成培训，使他们能够从事职业 SUAD的统计遗传学。研究教育适用于接受培训的个人 数学，统计学，生物统计学，遗传学，心理学，计算机科学或药理学 对于那些完成了MD学位的临床要求的人。这 博士后部分旨在教育为努力做出贡献的独立调查员 识别和表征SUAD的遗传和环境决定因素 开发，预防和治疗。因此，我们：i）提供并仔细监视 具有广泛研究的多学科综合研究培训计划 机会； ii）满足SUAD新兴研究领域培训的需求； iii）提供 来自不同学术和种族的研究人员的正规教育和密集的指导 背景； iv）提供专门的课程，该课程在我们的SUAD研究中合并了优势 通过方法论创新培训的机构； v）传播课程材料， 通过教学开发了向更广泛社区的软件，用户指南和示例脚本 讲习班和维护网站，其中包括网站，播客和脚本库。
