DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this application is to request a further five years of support for an Institutional National Research Service Award (years 21-25) to support multidisciplinary postdoctoral training focused on the neurobiological aspects of substance abuse with a strong focus on neuroimaging as well as in molecular and familial genetics. We request support for six postdoctoral (3 MDs and 3 PhDs) fellows. The fellowship will usually last 3 years for MDs and 2 years for PhDs. Fellows with a wide variety of backgrounds will be recruited including; Psychology, Psychiatry, Genetics, Medicine, Anthropology, Sociology, Biology, and Neuroscience. The primary research training experience is the apprenticeship model - conduct of supervised research under the tutelage of one or more preceptors who are established researchers and experienced mentors. The trainee's work is usually focused on a single but broad ranging research project developed jointly by the preceptor and trainee. Mentored research takes up approximately 70%-80% of the trainee's effort. The remainder of the training program is made up of lectures, seminars, reading courses, individual tutorials and, where needed, formal didactic course work available in our graduate and medical school. Tutorials in neurobiology, genetics and epidemiology are tailored for trainees with specific interests that may or may not fall into their major area of focus. To arrang these tutorials, the program coordinator and preceptor identify areas of specific interest and set up the tutorial for the trainees with one of our preceptors or tutors who best meet the training objective. The main research interests of the Washington University Department of Psychiatry are very broad: Genetic Epidemiology, Molecular Genetics, Psychiatric Epidemiology, Nosology, Physiology, Neuroimaging and Molecular Neurobiology. The department seminar series includes Grand Rounds, Departmental Research Seminars, and three special series, one devoted to Epidemiology & Biostatistics, one devoted to Genetic Epidemiology and one to Neurobiology. The Medical Center as a whole offers more than 35 hours of relevant seminars per week dealing with the subject matter of this grant. Many of these are relevant to the mission of this program and can be attended by postdoctoral trainees.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请的目的是请求为机构国家研究服务奖（21-25 年）再提供五年的支持，以支持多学科博士后培训，重点关注药物滥用的神经生物学方面，并具有强大的研究能力。专注于神经影像学以及分子和家族遗传学。我们请求支持六名博士后（3 名医学博士和 3 名博士）研究员。医学博士的奖学金期限通常为 3 年，博士学位的奖学金期限通常为 2 年。将招募具有各种背景的研究员，包括：心理学、精神病学、遗传学、医学、人类学、社会学、生物学和神经科学。主要的研究培训经验是学徒模式——在一名或多名导师的指导下进行监督研究，这些导师都是资深的研究人员和经验丰富的导师。受训者的工作通常集中于导师和受训者共同开发的单一但范围广泛的研究项目。指导性研究占据了受训者大约 70%-80% 的精力。培训计划的其余部分包括讲座、研讨会、阅读课程、个人辅导，以及在需要时在我们的研究生院和医学院提供的正式教学课程。神经生物学、遗传学和流行病学教程是为具有特定兴趣的学员量身定制的，这些兴趣可能属于也可能不属于他们的主要关注领域。为了安排这些教程，项目协调员和导师会确定具体感兴趣的领域，并与最符合培训目标的导师或导师之一一起为学员设置教程。华盛顿大学精神病学系的主要研究兴趣非常广泛：遗传流行病学、分子遗传学、精神病流行病学、疾病分类学、生理学、神经影像学和分子神经生物学。部门研讨会系列包括大查房、部门研究研讨会和三个特别系列，一个专门针对流行病学和生物统计学，一项专门针对遗传流行病学，一项专门针对神经生物学。整个医疗中心每周提供超过 35 小时的相关研讨会，讨论本补助金的主题。其中许多与该计划的使命相关，博士后学员可以参加。
