The Multidisciplinary
Alcoholism Research Training Program, now in its 17th year
of NIAAA support (T32 AA07477), is currently funded through
2008.
By 2006, training had been accomplished
successfully for 29 trainees (5 M.D.s, 24 Ph.D.s), an additional
5 trainees are currently active in the program.
An interdisciplinary faculty from
the Departments of Psychiatry, Psychology, Pharmacology, Neurology,
Emergency Medicine, the Institute for Social Research, and a
number of other university-wide Centers provides a broad range
of mentored research opportunities.
Fellowships offer the opportunity
to develop an integrated research program and enhance skills
necessary for a successful academic/research career. In addition
to the primary emphasis on research development, fellows participate
in a broad menu of content relevant courses and workshops to
develop their methodological expertise. Trainees also participate
in formal training on research integrity and the rights and
protection of human subjects.
The activity of program graduates since their
departure, as well as the quality and activity of currently
ongoing program participants, indicate that training activity
has been highly successful in recruiting and placing individuals
in academic track research careers where they have continued
to be productive researchers. Of the 29 current completors,
77 percent are currently in primarily research or research/academic
positions in university settings. Over the course of the program,
an effective track record in the training of minority fellows
has also been established; this has involved the training of
seven minority researchers.
