项目摘要

ABSTRACT Diversity is essential to maximize scientific rigor, innovation, and generalizability in alcohol research. However, a lack of participation by investigators and trainees from diverse ethnic and racial groups, disability status, and disadvantaged socioeconomic backgrounds is a persistent challenge. Investigators from the field of psychology are vital in the conduct of interdisciplinary alcohol research and evidence-supported treatment provision, and integral to the dissemination and implementation of novel behavioral, pharmacological, and combined treatment approaches for alcohol use disorders. Thus, the primary objective of the proposed alcohol research training program, titled Enhancing Diversity in Alcohol Research (EDAR), is to address this critical need by increasing engagement and retention of URM psychology trainees in alcohol research careers. The EDAR program is aligned with NIAAA’s longstanding mission to support diversity in education, the NIAAA Strategic Plan for 2017- 2021, and the NIAAA Working Group on Diversity and Health Disparity. The specific aims of the EDAR program are to: 1) attract URM psychology trainees into internship programs with robust alcohol research training opportunities by providing individualized mentoring from near-peers and senior experts in the alcohol field, structured didactics focused on diversity and professional development, and financial support, 2) retain URM psychology trainees in alcohol research careers by engaging them in NIAAA-supported T32 programs and providing them the skills to become near-peer mentors, 3) examine the effects of the program on research engagement and career trajectories following program completion, and 4) identify barriers and facilitators to engaging and retaining URM trainees in alcohol research. Each year, we will recruit and retain cohorts of six outstanding psychology graduate students from diverse backgrounds during the summer before internship application. The proposed EDAR program will provide two years of formalized didactic training and individual mentorship including: personalized feedback on internship and postdoctoral fellowship application materials, interview skill development, and financial support to offset trainee application and interview expenses. Thorough program evaluation will occur with direction from an expert panel of federally-funded alcohol researchers and educators in our Advisory Council to refine and improve the program and provide innovative data on potential barriers and facilitators to alcohol research involvement for trainees from diverse backgrounds. The highly qualified leadership team, strong partnerships with senior alcohol investigators leading NIAAA-supported T32/T35 training programs, and a team of exceptionally qualified and dedicated faculty mentors will ensure that the proposed alcohol research education program is implemented with a focus on rigor, cultural sensitivity, and sustainability within a vibrant educational setting.

抽象的多样性对于最大限度地提高酒精研究的科学严谨性、创新性和普遍性至关重要。缺乏来自不同民族和种族群体、残疾状况的调查人员和受训人员的参与弱势的社会经济背景是心理学领域研究人员持续面临的挑战。对于进行跨学科酒精研究和提供证据支持的治疗至关重要，并且传播和实施新型行为、药理学和综合治疗的重要组成部分因此，拟议的酒精研究培训的主要目标。名为“增强酒精研究多样性”(EDAR) 的计划旨在通过增加 EDAR 计划旨在提高 URM 心理学实习生的参与度和保留率。 NIAAA 2017 年战略计划与 NIAAA 支持教育多元化的长期使命相一致 2021 年，以及 NIAAA 多样性和健康差异工作组 EDAR 计划的具体目标。目的是： 1) 通过强有力的酒精研究培训吸引 URM 心理学实习生参加实习项目通过向酒精领域的同行和资深专家提供个性化指导来获得机会，专注于多样性和专业发展以及财务支持的结构化教学，2) 保留 URM 通过让心理学实习生参与酒精研究职业，让他们参与 NIAAA 支持的 T32 项目，以及为他们提供成为近同伴导师的技能，3）检查该计划对研究的影响项目完成后的参与度和职业轨迹，以及 4) 识别障碍和促进因素每年，我们都会招募并留住 6 名 URM 实习生。实习前暑期来自不同背景的优秀心理学研究生拟议的 EDAR 计划将提供两年的正式教学培训和个人培训。指导包括：实习和博士后奖学金申请材料的个性化反馈，面试技巧发展，以及抵消实习生申请和面试费用的财务支持。计划评估将在联邦政府资助的酒精研究人员组成的专家小组的指导下进行我们咨询委员会的教育工作者完善和改进该计划并提供有关潜力的创新数据来自不同背景的学员参与酒精研究的障碍和促进因素。合格的领导团队，与领导 NIAAA 支持的高级酒精调查人员建立牢固的合作伙伴关系 T32/T35 培训计划以及一支由非常合格且敬业的教师导师组成的团队将确保拟议的酒精研究教育计划的实施重点是严谨性、文化敏感性和充满活力的教育环境中的可持续性。
