What this research studies
This research focuses on enhancing the capabilities of recovery community centers (RCCs) by providing a fellowship to Dr. Felecia Pullen, who will engage in career development and contribute to ongoing research activities. The project aims to empower Dr. Pullen to lead her own independent research while continuing her work at the PILLARS RCC in Harlem, New York City. Through mentorship and training, the initiative seeks to improve the effectiveness of RCCs in supporting individuals in recovery from substance use disorders.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are individuals involved in or seeking support from recovery community centers, particularly those in diverse communities.
Not a fit: Patients who are not engaged in recovery programs or do not have access to recovery community centers may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved support systems and resources for individuals in recovery, enhancing their chances of successful rehabilitation.
How similar studies have performed: While this approach is focused on building individual research capacity within RCCs, similar initiatives have shown promise in enhancing community-based recovery support services.
