  2. NIH R24DA017298 Diversity-promoting Institutions Drug Abuse Research Development Program (DIDARP) at Charles R. Drew University of Medicine & ScienceProgram Theme: “Metabolic Effects of Nicotine: It Matters”; Training Theme: “Research Teams of the Future”Originally funded September 2004Competitive renewal funded April 2014-5 yearsProgram officer: Vishnudutt Purohit, Ph.D.

  3. DIDARP Specific Aims • To increase the number of high quality drug addiction research projects related to the metabolic effects of nicotine to allow CDU to develop expertise and acquire preliminary data to be able to compete for NIDA P01, P50 or R01 grants; • To continue to foster interest in substance abuse research among under-represented students and other trainees by providing meaningful educational and research experiences; and • To continue to enhance the research infrastructure at CDU to support substance abuse research.

  4. DIDARP Theme • The theme of the training and education program is “Metabolic Effects of Nicotine: It Matters” • Incorporates expertise at CDU in both the basic and clinical aspects of substance abuse. • Lead to collaborations with UCLA, Western University, CSU-DH, CSU-SB, Cal-tech, UTEP

  5. DIDARP Student Involvement • Students rotating in basic science labs and on clinical projects • CSUDH-undergraduate/Master’s students • CSUDH-Bridges Program -El Camino College, Compton College • King-Drew Magnet High School • CDU medical students and MPH students

  6. Research Day Goals • Highlight substance abuse research at CDU and its affiliates • Exposure of student and trainee research on substance abuse • Expose potential trainees to potential substance abuse mentors • Bring together substance abuse researchers for future seminars and funding opportunities • Exposure of research on substance abuse at CDU to research and teaching faculty, physicians from the surrounding community including MLK-Ambulatory Care Clinic and health clinics, drug abuse counselors, medical students, allied health professionals, community based health organization leaders, and other health care professionals
