Our faculty are not just researchers; they are educators that can sculpt the training of future addiction researchers, psychologists, counselors, social workers, nurses and teachers. We conduct state-of-the-art training of the next generation of translational addictions scientists, including undergraduates, doctoral students, and postdoctoral fellows. For the consortium group as a whole, our training goal is to translate ideas from the interdisciplinary sciences into new ways to understand, assess preventive knowledge and improve the daily lives of people living with addictions.
