Description
Effective translation and cross-fertilization between research disciplines are long-standing and challenging problems. The purpose of this notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) is to seek innovative applications for Translational Resource Center that will establish and support multidisciplinary research teams to conduct translational research between the fields of 1) substance use epidemiology and etiology and 2) substance use prevention intervention. Resource centers are expected to conduct activities that bring investigators in these fields together for active collaboration to develop research questions, design study approaches (with either collection of new data or analysis of existing data), and to develop strategies for application of findings from one field into research in the other field. Collaborative activities supported by the Center should have specific goals that lead to concrete products (e.g., publications, grant applications, intervention development or adaptation) and must include a plan for evaluating center success.
