DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This training program co-directed by Thomas Garrity and Carl Leukefeld proposes to support three pre- and three postdoctoral trainees with a training faculty of 21 drawn from seven different academic and research units of the University. The environment is rich with opportunities for biobehavioral research in facilities such as the Center on Drug and Alcohol Research, the Center for Prevention Research, and the Residential Research Facility. Trainees will be housed in offices of the Department of Behavioral Science and the Center on Drug and Alcohol Research with 24-hour/day access to laboratories and computer facilities; some trainees will have additional work space in the project areas of their faculty supervisors. This program is designed to prepare trainees to assume research responsibilities in academic, and other scientific organizations concerned with drug abuse and the behavioral aspects of health and medical care. Postdoctoral fellows will either have a doctorate in a behavioral science discipline and will be preparing for a research role in the drug abuse field, or they will be health professionals who are seeking a behavioral science research orientation in drug abuse. Predoctoral trainees will concentrate in behavioral science aspects of drug abuse as part of their program for a doctorate in a biobehavioral science discipline. Basic elements of the program include (I) research training designed to provide experience in utilizing the basic building blocks of research laboratory methods, case study, experimental design, development and pretesting of instruments, data analysis) and independent research competence; (2) a multidisciplinary orientation which takes students beyond their basic discipline and provides exposure to key theoretical concepts and methodological issues of the related biobehavioral sciences along wish a biobehavioral conceptualization; (3) a program of enculturation and orientation to drug abuse, health and mental health settings; (4) opportunities to explore drug abuse topics from a medical behavioral perspective through courses offered by training faculty; and (5) opportunities for independent research around relevant questions in drug abuse behavior that can constitute significant learning experiences for postdoctoral fellows and a dissertation project for predoctoral trainees. The program for postdoctoral fellows will be individually geared to the Objectives of the fellows and will build on their previous knowledge and experience.

描述（由申请人提供）： 由托马斯·加里斯（Thomas Garrity）和卡尔·莱克菲尔德（Carl Leukefeld）共同执导的该培训计划建议支持三名学术训练和三名培训学院，并从该大学的七个不同学术和研究单位中提取了21名培训学院。该环境丰富，在毒品和酒精研究中心，预防研究中心和住宅研究机构等设施中进行生物行为研究的机会。学员将被安置在行为科学系和毒品和酒精研究中心的办公室，每天24小时进入实验室和计算机设施；一些学员将在其教师主管的项目区域中拥有额外的工作空间。该计划旨在使受训人员在学术和其他与药物滥用有关的科学组织以及健康和医疗服务的行为方面承担研究责任。博士后研究员要么拥有行为科学纪律博士学位，并将为在药物滥用领域的研究角色做准备，要么是他们正在寻求在药物滥用方面寻求行为科学研究方向的卫生专业人员。托管前学员将专注于滥用药物的行为科学方面，作为其在生物行为科学学科中博士学位的计划的一部分。该计划的基本要素包括（i）研究培训，旨在提供利用研究实验室方法，案例研究，实验设计，工具的开发和预测试的基本构建基础的经验，数据分析）和独立的研究能力； （2）一种多学科取向，使学生超越了基本学科，并提供了相关生物行为科学的关键理论概念和方法论问题，并享受了愿望的生物行为概念化； （3）针对药物滥用，健康和心理健康环境的培养和取向计划； （4）通过培训教师提供的课程从医学行为的角度探索药物滥用主题的机会； （5）围绕药物滥用行为中相关问题的独立研究的机会，这些问题可能构成博士后研究员的重要学习经验，并为学会前学员提供论文项目。博士后研究员的计划将分别符合研究员的目标，并将基于他们以前的知识和经验。
