Substance Use Research Core

The Substance Use Research Core (SURC) supports basic, clinical, behavioral, and translational research at the intersection of substance use and HIV.

The Substance Use Research Core (SURC) offers services and expertise on the methods needed to develop and conduct effective substance use/HIV research. Services are directed at: 1) hypothesis generation, 2) assessment, 3) intervention development. The SURC offers expertise in state-of-the-art methods for assessing and analyzing substance use and developing and implementing interventions to address alcohol, tobacco, and other substance use. The SURC serves as a regional and national resource on substance use/HIV research by connecting substance use investigators with HIV investigators through formal and informal opportunities through the Inter-CFAR Substance Use Research Community.

 

 

  • Expertise in developing research projects that address gaps in substance use/HIV priority issues both domestically and globally.
  • Advice and training on the most appropriate methods for assessing substance use.
  • Advice and training on incorporating effective and up-to-date substance use interventions.
  • Identifying appropriate existing datasets for secondary analyses by investigators examining substance use and HIV.
