The Center’s research portfolio comprises several components, including a collection of nationally-representative samples of treatment programs under the National Treatment Center Study; several additional grants that focus on specialized populations, services, or policy issues; and national, state, and local evaluation projects. The Center is proud to be affiliated with the Institute for Behavioral Research at the University of Georgia. |
