PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) populations face some of the most significant substance abuse inequities of any population in the United States. The National Institutes of Health has increased efforts to address these inequities through investing in research to understand the root causes and in studies focused on prevention and intervention in these populations. Additional efforts include the establishment of the Tribal Health Research Office at the NIH in 2015 and the launch of the Intervention Research to Improve Native American Health Initiative in 2012. While gains are being made, they are incremental, slowed by many complexities encountered in research with diverse AIAN populations. A challenge that continues to attenuate the effectiveness of NIH's efforts is the underrepresentation of AIAN investigators at the helm of research studies. The cadre of AIAN Principal Investigators (PIs) is growing, but AIAN PIs remain significantly underrepresented. While there are a number of well-trained non-Native PIs who work closely with AIAN communities, using effective Community-Based Participatory Research approaches to enhance scientific rigor and relevance in these contexts, the potential of these studies to fully integrate scientific and cultural knowledge throughout study design, measurement, analysis, interpretation and dissemination is undermined by the lack of AIAN leadership. This project is designed to build on and expand the successful Native Children's Research Exchange Scholars (NCRE) program to support the development of AIAN early career substance abuse researchers. NCRE Scholars began in 2012 on the foundation of the NCRE network of researchers engaged in research with AIAN children and adolescents. The NCRE network provides a platform for connecting graduate students, post-docs, and junior faculty to senior research mentors who provide substantive mentoring and career development support. The NCRE conferences attended by this network offer a forum for sharing information and further building collaborative relationships. The proposed project will support the development of the next generation of AIAN substance abuse and addiction scientists by: (1) sustaining the NCRE Scholars program to support 10 additional Scholars in 5 Cohorts of 2 Scholars each; (2) retaining the fundamental components of the successful NCRE Scholars program, continuing to provide intensive mentoring to small cohorts of Scholars in connection to the NCRE network through the creation and implementation of Tailored Career Development Plans and support of writing objectives; (3) expanding the experiences for NCRE Scholars with the guidance of a Scholars Advisory board and by developing a Grantwriting Workshop to be delivered in conjunction with NCRE Conferences and a structured curriculum in the Responsible Conduct of Research with AIAN Communities; and (4) integrating a small NCRE student mentoring effort with the NCRE Scholars program to enhance engagement of potential researchers earlier in the educational pipeline (NCRE stars program; Students Thinking About Research careerS).

项目概要/摘要 美洲印第安人和阿拉斯加原住民 (AIAN) 人口面临着一些最严重的药物滥用问题 美国任何人口的不平等。美国国立卫生研究院加大力度 通过投资于研究以了解根本原因和侧重于以下方面的研究来解决这些不平等现象 对这些人群进行预防和干预。其他努力包括建立部落 2015 年，NIH 健康研究办公室启动了改善本土干预研究 2012 年美国健康倡议。虽然正在取得进展，但这些进展是渐进的，并且速度放缓了很多 在针对不同 AIAN 人群的研究中遇到的复杂性。挑战持续减弱 NIH 努力的有效性在于负责研究的 AIAN 研究人员代表性不足 研究。 AIAN 首席研究员 (PI) 队伍不断壮大，但 AIAN PI 仍然显着 代表性不足。虽然有许多训练有素的非本地 PI 与 AIAN 密切合作 社区，使用有效的基于社区的参与性研究方法来提高科学严谨性 以及这些背景下的相关性、这些研究充分整合科学和文化的潜力 贯穿研究设计、测量、分析、解释和传播的知识受到破坏 由于缺乏 AIAN 的领导。该项目旨在构建和扩展成功的 Native 儿童研究交流学者 (NCRE) 计划支持 AIAN 早期职业发展 药物滥用研究人员。 NCRE 学者计划于 2012 年在 NCRE 网络的基础上启动 研究人员从事 AIAN 儿童和青少年的研究。 NCRE网络提供了一个平台 用于将研究生、博士后和初级教师与高级研究导师联系起来，他们提供 实质性指导和职业发展支持。此网络优惠参加的 NCRE 会议 一个共享信息和进一步建立合作关系的论坛。拟议的项目将 通过以下方式支持下一代 AIAN 药物滥用和成瘾科学家的发展：(1) 维持 NCRE 学者计划，以支持另外 10 名学者，分为 5 个队列，每个队列 2 名学者； (2) 保留成功的 NCRE 学者计划的基本组成部分，继续提供 通过创建和实施与 NCRE 网络相关的小规模学者密集指导 实施量身定制的职业发展计划并支持写作目标； (3) 扩大 在学者顾问委员会的指导下，通过制定 NCRE 学者的经验 资助写作研讨会将与 NCRE 会议和结构化课程一起举办 与 AIAN 社区负责任地开展研究； (4) 整合一名小型 NCRE 学生 NCRE 学者计划的指导工作，以提高潜在研究人员早期的参与度 教育渠道（NCRE 明星计划；学生思考研究职业）。
