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 24 drawn from six 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 Drug and Alcohol Research and Translation, and the Residential Research Facility. Trainees will be housed in offices and laboratories of their research supervisor with 24 hour/day access to laboratories and computer facilities. 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 aspects of drug abuse as part of their program for a doctorate in a behavioral science discipline. Basic elements of the program include: (1) research training designed to provide experience in utilizing the basic building blocks of research (interviewing, case study, experimental design, development and pretesting of instruments, data analysis) and independent research competence; (2) an interdisciplinary orientation which takes students beyond their basic discipline and provides exposure to key theoretical concepts and methodological issues of the related behavioral sciences along with 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 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Thomas Garrity和Carl Leukefeld共同执导的这项培训计划建议支持三名大学学院的三名前和三名博士后学员。环境丰富，拥有在毒品和酒精研究中心，毒品和酒精研究中心以及住宅研究机构等设施中进行生物行为研究的机会。学员将被安置在其研究主管的办公室和实验室中，每天24小时访问实验室和计算机设施。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。托管前学员将集中于滥用药物的行为方面，这是其行为科学学科博士学位的计划的一部分。该计划的基本要素包括：（1）研究培训，旨在提供研究经验，以利用研究的基本构建基础（访谈，案例研究，实验设计，工具的预测，数据分析）和独立的研究能力； （2）一种跨学科取向，使学生超越了基本学科，并提供了相关行为科学的关键理论概念和方法论问题以及生物行为的概念化； （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）围绕药物滥用行为的相关问题进行研究的机会，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。
