Peer Recovery Innovation Network (PRIN)
While recovery support services are an established best practice, research is scarce on the efficacy and effectiveness of recovery support, training approaches, and delivery models adjunctive to and independent of treatment. The Peer Recovery Innovation Network (PRIN) was created to build capacity for current and future research.
The Peer Recovery Innovation Network (PRIN) at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio was created to help expand the science of recovery by developing a research program on Peer Recovery Support Services (PRSS) and Recovery Support Services (RSS).
PRIN will use multi-stakeholder engagement to advance the field, elevate recovery science, and increase the impact of peer recovery support.
Establish the Recovery Science Research Collaboratory to include multiple stakeholders, including individuals with lived recovery experience, to accelerate innovation in recovery science.
Establish the Recovery Science Training and Mentoring program to rapidly expand the recovery science workforce.
Conduct process-, outcome-, and implementation-based evaluations of the Peer Recovery Innovation Network and its initiatives to optimize the impact, efficiency, and effectiveness of PRIN using defined measures.
