CGACT Research
Numerous state-of-the-art research programs are available that provide the basis for research and training in the CGACT. Evidence of the productive collaborative nature of researchers at Penn is provided by multiple program projects, center grants, and other collaborative research initiatives. As a result of the collaborative environment at Penn, a wide variety of research opportunities will be available to researchers and trainees, and to which the methodological advances generated by the CGACT can be implemented. A partial list of the areas of research in which collaborative methodological research can be applied is as follows:- Biobehavioral Basis of Addiction (Transdisciplinary Tobacco Use Research Center; Audrain, Lerman)
