Funded by The Joseph A. Califano, Jr. Institute for Applied Policy, we’re urging all levels of government to move toward more evidence-based solutions by turning research data and insights into more effective policies and practices.
Our experienced team of scientists and practitioners works to develop, test and disseminate evidence-based protocols and technology-based interventions. We aim to improve the reach, accessibility and quality of substance use prevention, treatment and recovery services.
Our science and policy teams are driven by a passion for researching, developing and implementing the most effective solutions for preventing and treating addiction.
Our work is advancing science and policy to transform how our country addresses addiction.
We curate a digest of the latest in our field for advocates, policymakers, community coalitions and all who work toward shaping policies and practices to prevent substance use and treat addiction.
