Abstract
This NIDA training grant in Drug Abuse Comorbidity,
Prevention and Biostatistics is for 1 Pre-Doctoral and 3 Post-Doctoral
fellows. The initial NIDA training grant period, 1999-present, has
provided training for 2 Pre-Doctoral and 5 Post-Doctoral fellows. A good
record of achievement has been noted to date. The Training Faculty, of 24
interdisciplinary scientists, will continue to: 1) Increase the
opportunities for interdisciplinary research training with the broadest
range of research opportunities for persons wishing to specialize in
substance abuse research; 2) Train in areas of perceived shortage in drug
abuse research (biostatistics, prevention, epidemiology, comorbidity,
services research, infectious diseases, other public health risk factors
such as high risk sexual behaviors and violence and assessment of
substance use); 3) Recruit and equip researchers from diverse academic
backgrounds with skills needed to address challenging problems related
specifically to drug use disorders; 4) Provide trainees with an
apprentice-type education to master the skills needed to critically
evaluate data, to conduct every aspect of drug abuse research in order to
become successful and independent investigators; and 5) Train individuals
to maintain the highest ethical standards in their academic community. The
areas of research training that we offer are areas of enormous potential
future growth in research activity, but are presently understated in the
drug abuse training field.
Faculty are affiliated with 8 Departments in 3 Schools at Washington
University. Additionally, Dr. Mark Gold (University of Florida), and Dr.
Jim Topolski (Missouri Institute of Mental Health) also participate.
The program also offers trainees the
opportunity to obtain a
Master in Psychiatric Epidemiology degree from Washington University,
School of Medicine. This program’s
focus on the consequences of drug abuse provides a unique training
experience that fulfills NIDA’s public health mission.
