Description
The UCSF Postdoctoral Traineeship in Substance Use Disorders Treatment and Services Research is a National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA)-funded program designed to prepare scholars for independent research careers focused on the treatment and services for substance use disorders (SUD). The program provides rigorous, hands-on training in research methodologies, mentorship from multidisciplinary faculty, and access to diverse clinical and community research sites. Scholars engage in both mentor-led and independent projects, participate in seminars and manuscript writing groups, and are encouraged to develop grant-writing skills.
