This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), provides $208,575.00 to Dr. R. Kathryn McHugh at McLean Hospital to expand her mentorship of early-career investigators in patient-oriented research (POR) on substance use disorders.

The award will enable Dr. McHugh to dedicate more time to mentoring current and new mentees, as well as broaden her own POR program. This includes extending existing POR projects through secondary data analyses, grant renewals, and new collaborations, as well as developing new expertise in medication treatment research for substance use disorders across the translational research continuum. Mentees will be engaged as collaborators, co-authors, and co-investigators throughout this work. The goal is to advance the understanding and treatment of substance use disorders and reduce their public health burden.
