Addictions faculty mentors are assigned to work with trainees on addictions research and/or Quality Improvement projects to assist with successful identification and completion of scholarly work. Under the guidance of Thomas R. Kosten, M.D., addictions-based research activities include a host of psychiatric researchers, geneticists, immunologists and research associates. Opportunities to participate in pharmacotherapy clinical trials of novel treatments for substance use disorders, pharmacogenetics, and neuroimaging are widely available throughout the Department. In addition, The Menninger Clinic and Harris Health contain a wealth of data on patient treatment and outcomes which can be utilized towards development of an addictions-related research project.
