Projects that currently focus solely on either AIDS-related or drug abuse issues are encouraged to strengthen efforts in the complementary area.
Other Program Activities
National Drug Abuse Treatment Clinical Trials Network Grants Awarded
In an effort to dramatically improve treatment throughout the country, NIDA has awarded $55 million in grants over five years to establish a clinical trials network that will more rapidly move promising science-based drug addiction treatments into community settings. The five centers awarded grants are collectively the foundation for the National Drug Abuse Clinical Trials Network (CTN), which will provide a research infrastructure to test drug addiction treatments in real-life settings with diverse patient populations. The CTN will foster partnerships among NIDA, treatment researchers, and community-based treatment programs to bridge the gap between research and practice. The CTN, announced in January 1999 with an RFA, when complete, will consist of 20 to 30 regional research centers. At the local level, each center will be linked with 10 to 15 community treatment programs that represent a variety of treatment settings and patient populations available in that particular region of the country. The following universities have been selected as the cores for the first five regional centers. Each core will be linked with at least five community treatment programs throughout the region.
