  • Prevention Research Center: Data Science Core
    Funding period: 2019–2024
    PI: Dr. David DeGarmo
    Funded by: National Institute on Drug Abuse
    Grant number: P50 DA048756
    This Center of Excellence aims to improve the well-being of individuals, families, and communities affected by the opioid crisis through a focus on behavioral (parental responsivity, warmth) and neurocognitive systems (e.g., executive functioning, reward responsiveness) that are underlying mechanisms common to both addiction issues and parenting challenges. The Center includes three research projects, an administrative core, a pilot & training core, and a data science core. The Research Projects and Cores are based upon a unifying conceptual model and employ a translational science approach in which basic science investigations of underlying mechanisms are leveraged in the development and evaluation of scalable interventions that are designed to deliver population-level impacts on policy and practice.
