Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Patients with substance use disorders who receive care in non-addiction-specialty settings and are part of health systems connected to the CTN.
✕Less likely to help
Patients not engaged with CTN activities or not within participating settings may not directly benefit.
What this research studies
This grant funds targeted scientific meetings, workshops, and conferences linked to the NIDA Clinical Trials Network and the University of Utah’s Greater Intermountain Node. It aims to strengthen communication across CTN nodes, share findings and methods, and align with CTN priorities to translate research into practice. The focus is on collaboration with investigators, health systems, and community partners to improve addiction health services and policies. This is an administrative supplement that leverages existing CTN infrastructure to boost training, dissemination, and coordination across the network. The effort emphasizes inclusion of vulnerable populations and real-world settings to maximize impact.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, it could hasten the adoption of effective addiction treatments in community and healthcare settings.
How similar studies have gone: Previous CTN meetings and collaborations have accelerated translation of research into practice, with ongoing efforts showing promise.
