New Tool Makes It Easier To Find Potential Research Collaborators

August 25, 2011

Locating potential research partners just got easier. A new Collaborative Matching Service (CMS) allows drug abuse and addiction scientists, policymakers, and providers to identify people, projects, and organizations with common research interests.

CMS is a searchable database within the NIDA International Virtual Collaboratory (NIVC), which helps members exchange research data and ideas and participate in creating online communities and working groups. Members of the Virtual Collaboratory can search CMS for people, organizations, projects, and job opportunities using a combination of criteria, including geographic region, individual country, or keywords. NIVC members are urged to update their profile information to reflect their current locations and research projects.
