In conjunction with the Addiction Technology Transfer Center (ATTC) network coordinating office at the University of Missouri Kansas City, and with partial support from the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL), the International Consortium of Universities for Drug Demand Reduction (ICUDDR) has launched an international network of technology transfer centers (ITTCs). The ITTC network is designed to mirror the ATTC model of technology transfer, where training is only one element of the process of moving science into practice. The ITTCs will conduct a standardized needs assessment and develop a training and technical assistance plan that furthers each country’s alcohol and drug demand-reduction efforts.
