Translational Research Training in Addictions: Pathways for Behavioral and Biomedical Scholars
Since its launch in 2013, the Translational Research Training in Addictions: Pathway for Behavioral and Biomedical Scholars has trained dozens of researchers in translational addiction research to integrate basic science findings into clinical/community practice and use new technologies to enhance the reach of treatments. The goal of this training program is to increase the number of interdisciplinary scientists capable of serving as Principal Investigators (PIs) on extramurally funded studies in drug abuse research.
TRACC, which launched at The City College of New York and Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC), has received additional funding from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) which has allowed its expansion to Rutgers University. TRACC-RU will continue the mission of training researchers in translational addiction research.
