Tyler Erath, Ph.D., Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry, has received a K01 award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). This K01 award is designed to provide Dr. Erath with mentored training in implementation science to become an independent investigator focused on advancing the implementation of evidence-based treatments for stimulant use disorder (StimUD) and other substance use disorders (SUDs) in harm reduction and other community treatment and recovery settings. The proposed research plan seeks to develop hands-on experience and skills in implementation science advancing the use of contingency management, an evidence-based treatment for StimUD, in community harm-reduction settings using syringe service programs (SSPs) as a model.
