This activity provides support for SNOMED CT (Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine -- Clinical Terms), a systematically organized computer processable collection of medical terminology covering most areas of clinical information such as diseases, findings, procedures, microorganisms, pharmaceuticals etc. It allows a consistent way to index, store, retrieve, and aggregate clinical data across specialties and sites of care. It also helps organizing the content of medical records, reducing the variability in the way data is captured, encoded and used for clinical care of patients and research.

The Society for Prevention Research was formed in 1991 and has grown from a small group of researchers focused on drug and alcohol abuse prevention and mental health to become a leading scientific organization devoted to advancing prevention science, with 700+ members and a multidisciplinary prevention focus that emphasizes drug abuse, mental health and HIV/AIDS prevention in addition to diverse, public health domains (e.g., obesity, violence, translational science). The annual meetings promote cross-fertilization of theory, methods, and intervention and provide an opportunity to enhance understanding of the underlying mechanisms of health-related issues with the goal of building the science of effective strategies, and for prevention and health promotion.

The Specialized Centers of Research (SCOR) programs are large Center Programs (P50) that consist of 11 Centers that conduct interdisciplinary research focused on health issues that affect women and examine sex/gender contributions to health and disease. The currently funded SCORs are interdepartmental, intercollegiate, interinstitutional and focus on sex differences in musculoskeletal health, tobacco, addiction, substance abuse, reproductive health, urinary tract, depression, metabolic disorders and pain. The SCOR mechanism promotes collaborative research among scientists with varied expertise in order to achieve research objectives that are less likely to occur through other grant mechanisms.
