Core and Affiliated Faculty
The Core and Affiliated faculty will come from several colleges and schools within the University, including the College of 
Communication, the College of Human Environmental Studies (Department of Human Development and Family Studies), the Culverhouse School of Business, the School of Social Work, the College of Education, the College of Community Health Sciences, and the School of Law. Within the College of Arts and Sciences participants will include faculty from the Department of Psychology, the Institute for Social Sciences Research, the Department of Communicative Disorders, and the Department of Criminal Justice. It is anticipated that these various faculty may take different primary roles within the Center, with some focusing primarily on initiating collaborative research, and others with providing key consultation and access to study populations as part of their involvement in the research work groups.
Inter-University Collaborators
On existing funded projects in the Center (from NIDA, CDC, W.T. Grant Foundation), Dr. Lochman has made research collaboration with faculty at Duke University, the University of Alabama at Birmingham, the University of Illinois-Chicago, and Utrecht University in the Netherlands. We also have a subcontract on a NIMH-funded prevention center at Johns Hopkins University, and are participating in a FEMA-funded project at Columbia University to develop brief trauma-focused interventions (the Integrated Psychotherapy Consortium). We also anticipate collaborating with colleagues from the Department of Psychology, the College of Education, and the Youth Violence Prevention Program at the University of South Alabama.
Dr. Lochman is also a co-PI (with seven colleagues at Duke University, Tufts University, the Pennsylvania State University, The University of North Carolina, and the University of Washington) on a large NIMH-funded project to examine the long-term preventive effects of a comprehensive program (Fast Track) designed to prevent adolescent conduct problems. Dr. Lochman has also served as the chair of the steering committee for a CSAP-funded cooperative agreement awarded to researchers at ten universities ( University of Washington, University of Oregon, University of Utah, University of Minnesota, University of Illinois at Chicago, University of North Carolina, Emory University, Miami University, University of Kentucky, University of Alabama) who were implementing prevention research programs. Dr. Lochman’s experience on these large prevention-oriented multi-site grants will be useful in developing the collaborative Center for the Prevention of Youth Behavior Problems. Dr. Lochman’s experience on grant review committees (member of the CSR (NIH) Risk, Prevention and Health Behavior I Study Section; chair of CSR Special Emphasis review committees; ad hoc member on a NIMH committee reviewing prevention intervention research centers, on NIDA and CSR review committees, and a CDC review committee; grant reviewer for the Guggenheim Foundation and the Robert Woods Johnson Foundation) will also be useful in facilitating Center participants’ preparation of grant applications.
