Transdisciplinary Tobacco Use Research Centers (TTURCs)
TCRB continues to support the collaborative initiative Transdisciplinary Tobacco Use Research Centers (TTURCs), along with the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA). Originally released in 1999, this initiative was re-issued in 2004. The seven TTURCs conduct a broad array of studies, including projects evaluating new models of nicotine addiction, the role of genetic and environmental factors in smoking initiation and persistence, the impact of policy on tobacco use, methods for preventing tobacco use across cultures, and determinants of relapse. More information about TTURCs is available at: http://cancercontrol.cancer.gov/tcrb/tturc/
