This is a public health/drug policy training and applied epidemiology opportunity, centered on illicit drug markets, use, and consequences. IPPRA’s core lines are risk perception, warning communication, energy/environment, security attitudes, and education policy evaluation—not drug policy or mental health service research—so this would not plausibly be a PI-level fit for the team.

Description
This project will establish applied drug policy research experiences for graduate students and recent post-graduates to conduct rigorous research studies and data analyses to support the National Drug Control Strategy. This research will investigate dynamic shifts in, and associations between, illicit drug supply, drug use and their associated consequences, to help public health and public safety officials anticipate new drug outbreaks and prepare faster and more effective responses to protect the American public.
