Its primary focus is fostering applied research advancements among ICUDDR members, providing increased support to faculty in research endeavors, and facilitating collaboration through faculty exchange and joint research ventures.
Additionally, the center extends its support to young and emerging researchers in low-middle-income countries engaged in drug demand reduction efforts. This includes advising, supporting publishing, and disseminating new and existing research findings to enhance global prevention, treatment, and recovery efforts.
Furthermore, the center actively contributes to international research initiatives to address disparities in research access and publication success rates through collaborative partnerships with international journals. Moreover, the center utilizes applied research to provide expert advice to substance use disorder (SUD) professionals, organizations, and governments worldwide, thereby contributing to translating research findings into real-world impact.
Through dissemination efforts, the center seeks to establish ICUDDR as an expert organization in addiction studies, providing he latest scientific information on addiction.
