SUMMER RESEARCH WITH NIDA – UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SAN FRANCISCO Summer Research with NIDA introduces high school and undergraduate students from underrepresented groups to drug abuse research through research placements with NIDA grantees. Students work with the grantees for 8-10 weeks. The program exposes students to drug abuse research and encourages them to pursue careers in biomedical and behavioral research. Since 1997, over 700 students have gained research experience in drug abuse research.
The University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) has had a program for the past four years for undergraduate students interested in substance abuse treatment and services research. The principal investigator is James L. Sorensen, Ph.D., and the goal of the program is to provide summer interns with advanced research experience in community-and university-based treatment settings. Mentors are UCSF faculty affiliated with the Western States Node of the National Drug Abuse Treatment Clinical Trials Network and the San Francisco Treatment Research Center. Research projects include trials of efficacy and effectiveness of psychosocial and pharmacologic treatments of substance abuse and dependence, studies on the evaluation of clinical interventions for nicotine dependence, research on psychological interventions designed to boost the effectiveness of existing HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment approaches among substance abusers, and services research in community settings, including outcome-oriented organizational change processes.
The program's application deadline is March 1, 2011. Application materials for the Summer Research with NIDA 2011 program are now available at: http://www.nida.nih.gov/pdf/sposummer.pdf
Dr. Sorensen's Program – Substance Abuse Treatment and Services Research in Community and University-Based Settings – is program number 47 in the NIDA materials.
