Accelerating the dissemination of research-based drug abuse treatment findings into community-based practice is a key priority for NIDA and represents the core mission of the NIDA/SAMHSA Blending Initiative. This initiative is NIDA's most recent and innovative effort to accelerate the dissemination of research-based drug abuse treatment findings into community-based practice. NIDA's partnership with SAMHSA has led to the creation of Blending Teams, which are composed of members from SAMHSA's Addiction Technology Transfer Center (ATTC) Network and NIDA researchers who have worked closely to collectively develop Blending Team Products. This set of CD-ROMs combines all five products developed through the NIDA/SAMHSA Blending Initiative into a single package:

• Buprenorphine Treatment: A Training for Multidisciplinary Addiction Professionals
  
• Short-Term Opioid Withdrawal Using Buprenorphine
  
• Treatment Planning M.A.T.R.S: Utilizing the Addiction Severity Index (ASI) to Make Required Data Collection Useful
  
• Motivational Interviewing Assessment: Supervisory Tools for Enhancing Proficiency (MIA:STEP)
  
• Promoting Awareness of Motivational Incentives (PAMI)

Each of the disks contains training materials, PowerPoint presentations, and other resources needed to facilitate the adoption of science-based interventions in community settings. All of these materials are in the public domain and are intended for wide dissemination. Copies of this CD set were sent to all Node PIs and Research Utilization Committee (RUC) representatives in Fall 2007. (Blending Team Product, CD-ROM, English, 2007)
