The Center for the Study of Adolescent Risk and Resilience (C-StARR) supports an ambitious research agenda addressing genetic, neural, and cognitive mechanisms in self-regulation, with an emphasis on the role of self-regulation in academic performance, peer relations, and drug and alcohol use during late adolescence. The primary work of the C-StARR is to help investigators already funded to do research relevant to the Center's research agenda enhance and extend their work. The C-StARR also funds a small number of pilot research projects, focusing primarily on those involving interdisciplinary teams committed to seeking extramural funding for their work.
