note = "Funding Information: To address these outstanding issues, a select group of 65 senior investigators, federal administrators and early career scientists attended a 2-day conference (April, 2012) funded by an NIH National Institute of Nursing Research grant (Dr. Diana Fishbein, PI), entitled “Advancing Transdisciplinary Translation for Prevention of High-Risk Behaviors.” The goal was to develop an infrastructure and research agenda for developing a large-scale transdisciplinary program of research to translate existing knowledge into effective population-wide prevention of risk behaviors, including drug abuse. A diverse array of scientific capabilities and disciplines was represented to enhance the potential to move the field forward in significant and innovative ways. The meeting focused on increasing communication among scientists who are already investigating disparate aspects of high-risk behaviors but who have yet to achieve an integration of perspective and approach. To facilitate the transfer of information via identification of outstanding issues and cross-cutting collaborations, the agenda included ample discussion geared toward the generation of specific action steps designed to enable the field to accomplish these goals (see http://www.ttpr.org/ for proceedings and related materials). As the development of both this Special Issue and the conference agenda occurred simultaneously, they were reciprocally influential in helping to establish the parameters for this growing national initiative.",
