项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT This application requests continued support for a research education program in the neuroscience of addiction to support undergraduate students pursuing short term summer research experiences at the Medical University of South Carolina. Each year, fourteen undergraduate students will have the opportunity to conduct biomedical research projects under the guidance of faculty mentors based primarily in the departments of Neurosciences and Psychiatry. The ten-week summer research projects conducted by the students will culminate in a formal scientific presentation. Additional activities include a lecture series on focused topics; a research ethics component; instruction in rigor, transparency and reproducibility; formal and informal discussions on the meaning of scientific literacy, professional development and career opportunities; and social functions. Our participating faculty constitutes a highly collaborative, interdisciplinary team of laboratory-based researchers. Training opportunities are thematically organized around four areas of research: neurobiological basis of cocaine relapse; neurobiology of methamphetamine dependence; sex and gender-related research in substance use disorders; and stress and substance use disorders. The program builds upon and leverages (1) MUSC's strong and continued commitment to research training; (2) its excellent reputation in providing meaningful research experiences for talented undergraduate students; (3) its track record of attracting students from underrepresented groups and undergraduate institutions, and (4) its effective program management.

项目概要/摘要该申请请求继续支持成瘾神经科学的研究教育计划支持本科生在医科大学追求短期暑期研究经历南卡罗来纳州。每年，十四名本科生将有机会进行生物医学研究主要在神经科学系的教师导师指导下的研究项目和精神病学。学生们进行的为期十周的夏季研究项目将在正式的研究项目中达到高潮科学的演示。其他活动包括围绕重点主题的系列讲座；研究伦理成分;严格、透明和可重复性的指导；正式和非正式的讨论科学素养、专业发展和职业机会的意义；和社会功能。我们的参与的教师组成了一个由实验室研究人员组成的高度协作的跨学科团队。培训机会围绕四个研究领域主题组织：可卡因复发；甲基苯丙胺依赖的神经生物学；性别和性别相关研究物质使用障碍；以及压力和物质使用障碍。该计划建立在 (1) 的基础上并利用 (1) MUSC 对研究培训的坚定和持续的承诺； (2) 其在提供服务方面的良好声誉为有才华的本科生提供有意义的研究经历； (3) 其吸引学生的记录来自代表性不足的群体和本科院校，以及（4）有效的项目管理。
