Summary/Abstract The specific aims of our postdoctoral training program are threefold. First, we aim to recruit a diverse group of early-career behavioral, biomedical, and social scientists, as well as health care professionals who want to conduct high quality research in the early intervention and treatment of alcohol problems. Second, we strive to provide fellows with rigorous interdisciplinary training in addiction science and grant writing through a combination of didactic and practical training and individualized mentorship from leading researchers and clinical scientists. And third, we ensure fellows reach their own individual scientific career objectives by tailoring training opportunities to their unique goals and needs. From its inception, distinctive features of our program include its interdisciplinary nature, focus on training in early intervention and treatment of alcohol misuse along a continuum with attention to crucial health disparities, and emphasis on highly individualized opportunities to develop competitive grant applications and by doing so, contribute new knowledge about alcohol-related dysfunction and treatment. The fellowship emphasizes that intervention should be guided by sophisticated and fully developed theory that considers biological, social, and cultural influences and contexts. We also stress the importance of integrating theory, research, and the latest technologies to advance prevention and intervention strategies across development. Fellows gain expertise in the most rigorous and precise experimental and clinical trial methods, and learn the most cutting edge and powerful statistical techniques. Across all training activities, we emphasis responsible conduct of research and the importance of scientific rigor and reproducibility. Our unwavering mission is to produce the next generation of addiction scholars focused on innovative research, advanced dissemination and implementation strategies, and public education.
