The Center Grant

The national alcohol research center grant contributes in a number of ways to the overall research program of PRC. In addition to the research components directly funded by the national center grant, the center grant has enabled the successful development of other sources of funding for additional alcohol prevention studies. Without the center grant, the growth in funded research would not have been possible. Additionally, the center grant is essential because it supports infrastructure and basic prevention science, both of which are necessary to maintain the best research practices.

PRC's research program is designed to include research at a variety of levels of aggregation and complexity. The Component Directors are committed to the development of integrated archival and individual level data acquisition approaches in all components of the planned studies.

The Center's research program integrates theoretical and empirical work from the academic disciplines of anthropology, economics, epidemiology, public health, policy science, psychology, and sociology. The goal of the basic scientific research is to understand the individual, social, political, and environmental circumstances related to adverse health outcomes. Basic scientific research into the characteristics of individuals that predispose them to health risks are integrated with studies of social milieu and environmental structures in which these risks are too often realized in injury and death.
