The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) awarded a $195,253 Project Grant to the University of Texas at Austin, effective May 1, 2026 through April 30, 2031, under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279). This K01 Research and Training Award supports the adaptation and pilot testing of Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention (MBRP) specifically tailored for substance use peer workers (PWs). The project addresses a critical workforce retention gap by developing an evidence-based intervention to mitigate occupational burnout and relapse risk among peer workers, who represent essential frontline staff in addressing the opioid epidemic but experience elevated burnout rates (approximately 70%) and significant relapse rates (up to 40% among addiction professionals in recovery). The project deliverables consist of three integrated research phases: qualitative interviews with PWs to characterize occupationally triggered relapse experiences and intervention preferences (Aim 1); manual development, interventionist training, and field testing of the adapted MBRP intervention (Aim 2); and a two-armed pilot randomized controlled trial with 80 PWs comparing the adapted MBRP intervention against standard care with assessments at 1-, 3-, and 6-month follow-ups to evaluate feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness in reducing relapse risk and burnout symptoms (Aim 3). The research is positioned to generate foundational evidence supporting long-term improvements in peer workforce effectiveness and retention.Federal Grant Award Summary
