The goals of the program are to discover mechanisms that transform vulnerability characteristics into active illness; to identify valid markers of illness onset; to develop psychometrically sound methods for assessing the cognitive, affective, and behavioral response systems believed to underpin clinical symptoms and functional impairments; and ultimately to channel scientific findings from each of these areas into the development of effective methods of mental illness prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation.

9A-ASGC	Community Implementation Program
This program encourages the development of partnerships among researchers and community-based treatment and other public health settings, for evidenced-based secondary HIV prevention and treatment adherence interventions. Dissemination is the targeted distribution of information and intervention materials to a specific public health or clinical practice audience. The intent is to spread knowledge and the associated evidence-based interventions. Implementation is the use of strategies to introduce or change evidence-based health interventions within specific settings. Although capacity-building for doing behavioral and social interventions in community, clinical and other settings is an oft-discussed goal among researchers and policy-makers who foster dissemination of interventions, the science of capacity-building and technology transfer remains underdeveloped. Whenever possible, applications should involve collaborations that include expertise from disciplines with theoretical and applied expertise in such domains - for example, community psychology, organizational psychology, and services researchers.
