项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Alcohol Research Center in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine is seeking resources for the recruitment of a clinical / translational investigator with experience in alcohol research. Through resources to be provided by the ARRA Recovery Act Limited Competition: Biomedical Research Core Centers to Enhance Research Resources (P30) [RFA-OD-09-005] grant application to the National Institute on Alcoholism and Alcohol Abuse, we are seeking to recruit a fulltime, tenure track, entry level assistant professor to complement and enhance the Center's ongoing research activities in the area of behavioral therapies related to the treatment of alcohol use and related disorders. The focus will be on recruiting someone who brings newer and novel behavioral approaches to the study of alcoholism treatment and whose research findings can be easily and quickly extended to community clinicians and agency treatment service providers. The UConn Alcohol Research Center has a strong history of junior faculty development and provides an outstanding nurturing environment for developing clinical investigators. We expect that the new faculty member, in collaboration with existing Alcohol Research Center investigators and investigators from other branches of the university with related interests, will move quickly to develop their own interdisciplinary independent research program. We are seeking funds to provide salary support and start-up costs for this new faculty member during their first two years of employment. In order to have time to begin to develop their research program, this individual will have 100% protected time during their first two years of employment and 75% protected time during their second two years. The School of Medicine has agreed to provide institutional support for the newly recruited tenure-track individual, including office and research space and any necessary salary support through years 3&4. If funded this application would create three [investigator; 2 research assistants] new jobs. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE; The work to be conducted by this newly hired faculty member will directly address one of the most serious public health problems in the US, alcohol-related illness and injury. Behavioral therapies have been shown to be effective in controlled laboratory studies with both heavy drinkers and persons with alcohol dependence by improving compliance with treatment and therefore treatment outcomes. Importantly, the next step is to demonstrate the translational value of these treatments by moving this work into community treatment agencies and the offices of community service providers. These relatively low cost interventions can help reduce mortality, morbidity and injury among chronic heavy drinkers resulting in significant health care savings.

描述（由申请人提供）：康涅狄格大学医学院精神病学系酒精研究中心正在寻找资源来招募具有酒精研究经验的临床/转化研究人员。通过 ARRA 恢复法案有限竞赛提供的资源：生物医学研究核心中心增强研究资源 (P30) [RFA-OD-09-005] 向国家酒精中毒和酒精滥用研究所申请拨款，我们正在寻求招募全职、终身教授、入门级助理教授，以补充和加强该中心在与酒精使用和相关疾病治疗相关的行为疗法领域正在进行的研究活动。重点是招募能够为酒精中毒治疗研究带来更新和新颖的行为方法的人，并且其研究成果可以轻松快速地推广到社区临床医生和机构治疗服务提供者。康涅狄格大学酒精研究中心在初级教师发展方面拥有悠久的历史，并为培养临床研究人员提供了出色的培养环境。我们期望新的教职人员与现有的酒精研究中心研究人员和大学其他有相关兴趣的分支机构的研究人员合作，将迅速采取行动，开发自己的跨学科独立研究项目。我们正在寻求资金，为这位新教员在就业的头两年提供工资支持和启动费用。为了有时间开始开发他们的研究计划，此人在工作的前两年将获得 100% 的受保护时间，在后两年将获得 75% 的受保护时间。医学院已同意为新招募的终身教授提供机构支持，包括办公室和研究空间以及第三年和第四年的任何必要的薪资支持。如果获得资助，该申请将创建三个[调查员； 2名研究助理]新职位。公共卫生相关性；这位新聘的教员将开展的工作将直接解决美国最严重的公共卫生问题之一，即与酒精有关的疾病和伤害。在针对酗酒者和酒精依赖者的对照实验室研究中，行为疗法已被证明是有效的，可以提高治疗依从性，从而提高治疗结果。重要的是，下一步是将这项工作转移到社区治疗机构和社区服务提供者的办公室，以展示这些治疗的转化价值。这些成本相对较低的干预措施有助于降低长期酗酒者的死亡率、发病率和伤害，从而节省大量医疗费用。
