Here is helpful information about joint activities for prevention
researchers and practitioners. Prevention Practice in Substance
Abuse provides cutting-edge information related to prevention
research and practice. Too frequently, researchers and
practitioners do not communicate from a basic understanding of
concepts and principles. This book begins to fill that void by
providing information and recommendations for practitioners and
researchers to develop projects jointly so both groups become more
effective in their work.Chapters in Prevention Practice in
Substance Abuse are grouped into three areas: background chapters
contain information related to prevention in the United States,
data-based chapters present the most recent national and
international evaluation findings, and conceptual chapters
stimulate thought about drug abuse prevention. A concluding chapter
explores recommendations for joint activities and presents methods
for both practice and research to enhance knowledge development.

This compact resource analyzes and demystifies the processes of
applying for, competing for, and getting funding for research.
Neither a cookbook nor a template, it encourages readers to apply
the critical thinking and attention to detail they use in their
investigations to the pursuit of the grant. Chapters delve into
choosing among funding options, project planning and writing,
filling out the materials in the application packet, and
troubleshooting for problems at various steps of the journey. Along
the way, the authors also explore common myths of grantsmanship and
alert readers to hidden pitfalls that can get an otherwise good
submission rejected. Among the core skill areas covered: * Using
strategic thinking throughout the application process *
Understanding the major grant mechanisms * Navigating the grant
timeline, including the peer review and the vetting process *
Writing the effective project description * Following up if the
project is not funded or funding is deferred * Building a career
grant by grant Brimming with expert knowledge, Grantsmanship for
New Investigators ably balances motivation with realism. The
authors' deep understanding and experience of how funding agencies
arrive at judgments will inspire readers to present their research
in the most convincing manner.
