Scientific Development Committee

Attention researchers and interested clinicians: The SW CTN has a Scientific Development Committee which receives protocol concepts continuously throughout the year. The group meets monthly to review and give feedback on concepts submitted. If approved, concepts may be submitted to the NIDA CTN for review and possible funding.  

To submit your protocol ideas, please email us at SouthwestCTN@salud.unm.edu, and please include "Protocol Concept" in the subject line.
