UK Center for Drug Abuse Research Translation Receives NIH Grant

The University of Kentucky Center for Drug Abuse Research Translation (CDART) has received a $7 million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), funding which will continue the centers long history of developing novel intervention strategies that target high-risk individuals. CDART is connected to the Division of Epidemiology, Services and Prevention Research at the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). Though they are separate entities, CDART and NIDA have the common mission of understanding the causes and prevention of substance use disorders. The primary goal of CDART, which the grant will augment, is to move basic research findings into the application of more effective preventive intervention strategies.
