ABSTRACT/SUMMARY The aim of this training program is to provide graduate students with the research skills to identify alcohol-related risk factors by investigating their expression in response to acute and chronic exposure to alcohol at the cellular level, behaving laboratory animal, and the human subject. The training program will emphasize training in cellular and behavioral pharmacology of alcohol with the broad objective to understand how such acute and chronic reactions combine or interact with personal and environmental factors to confer risk for alcohol use disorders. The training is designed to achieve three objectives: 1) deliver intensive training in alcohol research; 2) foster interdisciplinary and translational perspectives on alcohol research; and 3) develop professional skills to support career development in alcohol research fields. The proposal requests support for five pre-doctoral appointments. The appointments will be for a two-year period. Training will be primarily delivered within the research programs of the faculty and the core facilities at UK. This includes a training faculty team of 20 researchers drawn from six academic and research units of the University of Kentucky. The rich environment provides opportunities for translational and multidisciplinary bio-behavioral research training in facilities such as the: 1) Center on Drug and Alcohol Research; 2) Center for Clinical and Translational Science; and 3) The Substance-abuse Prevention in Emerging Adults Research Center (SPEAR). The alcohol-specific expertise and broad research foci of our faculty, coupled with their interdisciplinary research provides a solid foundation by which implementation of the proposed T32 training program will bolster the research skills of our students for the ultimate goal of producing bright, productive scientists capable of significant developments and discovery in the etiology, prevention, and treatment of alcohol use disorders.

摘要/摘要 该培训计划的目的是为研究生提供研究技能以识别 酒精相关的危险因素通过研究其对急性和长期暴露的表达 在细胞水平上酒精，行为的实验动物和人类受试者。培训计划将 强调酒精的细胞和行为药理学的培训，并具有广泛的目标 这种急性和慢性反应如何结合或与个人和环境因素相互作用以授予 饮酒障碍的风险。培训旨在实现三个目标：1）提供密集培训 在酒精研究中； 2）培养酒精研究的跨学科和翻译观点； 3） 发展专业技能，以支持酒精研究领域的职业发展。提案请求 支持五个博士前任命。约会将持续两年。培训将是 主要是在英国教师和核心设施的研究计划中提供的。这包括 由20名研究人员组成的培训教师团队，来自大学的六个学术和研究单位 肯塔基。丰富的环境为翻译和多学科生物行为提供了机会 诸如：1）毒品和酒精研究中心等设施的研究培训； 2）临床和 翻译科学； 3）新兴成人研究中心的滥用药物预防 （矛）。我们教师的酒精特定专业知识和广泛的研究重点，再加上他们 跨学科研究为拟议的T32培训的实施提供了坚实的基础 计划将增强学生的研究技能，以实现生产明亮，富有成效的最终目标 科学家能够在病因，预防和治疗中进行重大发展和发现 酒精使用障碍。
