Seminars
The Health System Node (HSN) coordinates seminars to foster collaboration and promote research development that aligns with the objectives of the HSN and strategic goals of the NIDA Clinical Trials Network (CTN). Seminars include presentations and discussions of emerging topics in substance use research, new trial methods, novel approaches to prevention, and to health service delivery for people who use substances, have substance use disorders, or are in recovery. Seminar presentations are given by national and international experts.
