Funded Pilots
Supporting the development and evaluation of cutting-edge applications of technology to the treatment of substance use disorders and
related issues.
The Pilot Project Core of the Center is designed to support novel pilot projects that offer considerable promise to have a large impact on the field. Center-supported pilot projects will facilitate the rapid execution of research that may forward the Center’s Aims and be completed in relatively short time periods. Funded pilots will complement knowledge gleaned from larger, longer-term projects conducted within the Center.
