COBRE 1 Core: Behavior

The COBRE 1 Behavior Core is a central component of the University of New England’s Center for Pain Research, organized to support behavioral science aspects of pain-related investigation and training. Within the Center’s web presence, the Behavior Core appears as a distinct service area alongside related cores and resources—such as the Histology and Imaging Core and the Maine Pain Registry—indicating an integrated, multidisciplinary environment for pain research at UNE. The Behavior Core is led by Tamara King, Ph.D., who is listed as Behavior Core Director and is designated as a primary faculty contact.

The Behavior Core is part of the broader Center for Pain Research structure that highlights investigator resources, pilot projects, behavior-specific services, training opportunities, funding information, publications and connections to clinical and translational resources such as the Maine Pain Registry. This contextual placement indicates that COBRE 1’s Behavior Core functions both as a methodological resource and as a hub for training and collaborative work across the Center. The Behavior Core is accessible to the UNE community and external collaborators through listed contacts, demonstrating an emphasis on facilitation and engagement.
