PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT This renewal application seeks support for our well-established research education program in substance use disorders to support undergraduate students pursuing short-term summer research experiences at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC). The goal is to develop the next generation of independent researchers who can progressively enhance existing therapies and develop novel approaches to substance use disorders. The specific aims are to: 1) Foster interest in these talented and highly motivated students to pursue careers in biomedical research in the areas of addiction research by providing a forum where accomplished investigators can be mentors sharing their enthusiasm and expertise; 2) Leverage existing research training programs at MUSC to complement and expand the overall experience of the students; 3) Provide a forum where students not only acquire the basics of how to address research problems, but also learn cutting edge research techniques, research ethics, and presentation of research data; 4) Contribute to enhancing the students' overall science literacy by nurturing an appreciation of the nature of science and acquisition of socioscientific skills and values.; and 5) Implement a comprehensive evaluation plan that measures the degree to which the program is achieving its objectives. Each year, fourteen undergraduate students will have the opportunity to conduct biomedical research projects under the guidance of faculty mentors based primarily in the Department of Neuroscience. 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; formal and informal discussions on the meaning of scientific literacy, professional development and career opportunities; and social functions. The 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 record of accomplishment of attracting students from underrepresented groups and undergraduate institutions, and (4) its effective program management. This R25 program will teach and promote the integration of clinical and basic science knowledge, with an emphasis on acquiring research skills in the basic neurobiology of substance use.

项目概要/摘要 此更新申请寻求对我们完善的物质使用研究教育计划的支持 支持本科生在医学院追求短期暑期研究经验 南卡罗来纳大学（MUSC）。目标是培养下一代独立研究人员 他们可以逐步增强现有疗法并开发治疗药物滥用障碍的新方法。 具体目标是： 1) 培养这些才华横溢、积极主动的学生追求职业生涯的兴趣 成瘾研究领域的生物医学研究，为有成就的研究人员提供一个论坛 可以成为导师，分享他们的热情和专业知识； 2) 利用现有的研究培训计划 MUSC 补充和扩展学生的整体经验； 3）为学生提供一个论坛 不仅获得如何解决研究问题的基础知识，还学习前沿研究 技术、研究伦理和研究数据的呈现； 4）有利于学生综合素质的提高 通过培养对科学本质的认识和获得社会科学技能来提高科学素养 价值观。； 5) 实施综合评估计划，衡量该计划的实施程度 实现其目标。每年，十四名本科生将有机会进行 主要在系的教师导师指导下的生物医学研究项目 神经科学。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;关于科学素养、专业发展和科学素养的含义的正式和非正式讨论 职业机会；和社会功能。参与的教师构成了一个高度协作的、 由实验室研究人员组成的跨学科团队。培训机会按主题组织 四个研究领域：可卡因复发的神经生物学基础；甲基苯丙胺的神经生物学 依赖；物质使用障碍中性和性别相关的研究；以及压力和物质使用 失调。该计划建立在并利用 (1) MUSC 对研究的坚定和持续承诺 训练; (2) 在为有才华的本科生提供有意义的研究经验方面享有盛誉 学生; (3) 吸引弱势群体学生的成绩记录，以及 本科院校，以及（4）有效的项目管理。这个 R25 计划将教授和促进 临床和基础科学知识的整合，重点是获得基础研究技能 物质使用的神经生物学。
