The Peer Recovery Innovation Network’s funding opportunity has now closed. However, if you’d like to explore other opportunities, please visit the Consortium on Addiction Recovery Science (CoARS).
Overview
This funding mechanism will support robust recovery science pilot studies that aim to accelerate the transition from discoveries to active and effective peer and community-based recovery support programs.
Applications from the following areas of research are strongly encouraged but not required:
- Role of social determinants of health/recovery on the impact of peer support
- Availability and effectiveness of peer support services in different environments/settings
- The role of race, ethnicity, and gender identity in peer support services effectiveness
- Wellbeing and health of the peer support workforce
- Best practices and strategies for helping peer staff assist individuals using non-abstinent recovery pathways.
- Identifying key metrics and outcomes for the evaluation of peer recovery support services
- Peer support staff biases towards multiple pathways of recovery
- Peer support career and professional development pathways and compensation analysis of peer workers
- Integration and evaluation of peer recovery support and peer harm reduction services and programs
- Standardized data collection among peer support services
- Hispanic/Latinx/Latine populations and other underserved populations (e.g., low SES)
Applications must be submitted through Survey Monkey Apply.
