Project Summary/Abstract The over-arching goal of the current program is to unify the training in substance use disorder research at Rutgers Piscataway/New Brunswick encompassing the existing strengths in basic and human imaging research. The result is the Rutgers Training Program in Addiction Research (TARP), which aims to recruit a diverse group of outstanding predoctoral and postdoctoral researchers and provide them with rigorous and comprehensive training in interdisciplinary addiction-focused research. The goal is for all trainees to gain an appreciation of addiction neuroscience research from cells to circuits to behavior. Our faculty members represent an extraordinary range of addiction research expertise, from epigenetics to human imaging. The thirteen participating mentors, who together hold over $10 million dollars in annual active research support, have decades of collective experience training dozens of students and fellows who have gone on to successful careers in academia, industry and government. More senior program mentors include Drs. Gary Aston-Jones, Danielle Dick, Zhiping Pang and David Zald. The program director, Dr. Chris Pierce, initiated and co-directed a NIDA-funded translational addiction training program (pre- and postdocs) for over nine years at the University of Pennsylvania before he moved to Rutgers in early 2020. The proposed predoctoral and postdoctoral training programs are integrated through events, programs and courses designed to foster interactions among trainees as well as the Rutgers addiction research community as a whole. These joint activities satisfy many of the goals of the program including practice communicating research findings, instruction in contemporary addiction neuroscience research, grant writing, critiquing the addiction neuroscience research literature, networking, leadership, career development, etc. All training activities also emphasize ethical conduct of research and the importance of scientific rigor and reproducibility. Although the research and didactic aspects of the Rutgers TARP are neuroscience focused (basic science and human imaging) we also strive to give our trainees a better understanding of the totality of the field including the challenges associated with developing treatments for substance use disorders. Our over-arching goal is to better equip the next generation of addiction neuroscience researchers to apply novel and innovative approaches to develop new therapies, which are needed now perhaps more than ever.

项目概要/摘要 当前计划的总体目标是统一药物使用障碍研究的培训 罗格斯大学皮斯卡塔韦/新不伦瑞克分校拥有基础成像和人体成像方面的现有优势 研究。结果是罗格斯大学成瘾研究培训计划（TARP），旨在招募 拥有多元化的优秀博士前和博士后研究人员群体，并为他们提供严谨和 以跨学科成瘾为重点的研究的综合培训。目标是让所有学员获得 欣赏从细胞到电路到行为的成瘾神经科学研究。我们的教职人员 代表了从表观遗传学到人类成像的一系列非凡的成瘾研究专业知识。这 十三名参与导师每年总共拥有超过 1000 万美元的积极研究支持， 拥有数十年的集体经验，培训了数十名后来取得成功的学生和研究员 学术界、工业界和政府的职业生涯。更高级的项目导师包括博士。加里·阿斯顿·琼斯， 丹妮尔·迪克、庞志平和大卫·扎尔德。项目总监 Chris Pierce 博士发起并共同指导了一项 NIDA 资助的转化成瘾培训项目（博士前和博士后）在大学进行了九年多 在 2020 年初搬到罗格斯大学之前，他在宾夕法尼亚州获得了博士学位。拟议的博士前和博士后培训 通过旨在促进学员之间互动的活动、计划和课程来整合计划 以及整个罗格斯大学成瘾研究界。这些联合活动满足了许多人的需求 该计划的目标包括实践交流研究成果、当代成瘾指导 神经科学研究、资助写作、批评成瘾神经科学研究文献、网络、 所有培训活动还强调研究的道德行为和 科学严谨性和可重复性的重要性。尽管罗格斯大学的研究和教学方面 TARP 以神经科学为重点（基础科学和人体成像），我们也努力为学员提供 更好地了解该领域的整体，包括与开发治疗方法相关的挑战 用于物质使用障碍。我们的首要目标是更好地装备下一代成瘾者 神经科学研究人员应用新颖和创新的方法来开发新的疗法，这些疗法是 现在也许比以往任何时候都更需要。
