NIDA invites people with lived/living experience of substance use to join new workgroup, applications due January 10
The National Institute on Drug Abuse is launching a working group to the National Advisory Council on Drug Abuse (NACDA) made up of people with lived or living experience with drug use. The primary purpose of the group will be to advise on ways to enhance and increase meaningful engagement of people with lived or living experience with drug use in NIDA-funded research.
NIDA is seeking workgroup members who identify as having current or former experience themselves with substance use or substance use disorder, or as a family member or caregiver of someone who does. The workgroup will meet for 1-2 hours approximately 3-4 times a year during 2025 and potentially into 2026. Workgroup meetings will be virtual to facilitate broad participation from around the U.S.
