On-Demand Session
Overview
This 1-hour, on-demand session from the ASAM 53rd Annual Conference describes hot topics in addiction medicine research and how to create more alignment between the research funders and practicing clinicians.
This session will provide an opportunity for bidirectional communication between federal science funding agencies and clinicians/clinician-researchers about ?hot? topics in addiction medicine research and how to address the divide between research and clinical practice. Funding agency representatives will solicit clinicians? feedback on which areas of research should be prioritized to improve clinical practice. Clinicians/clinician-researchers will learn about opportunities for increasing their participation in research. Participants also will engage in brainstorming about how to include more clinical voices in the shaping of addiction research priorities. NIAAA, NIDA, and AHRQ have requested input from ASAM members on how to improve the clinical relevance of their addiction medicine research portfolios. Your ideas will also help to inform our ?Bridging the Gap between Science and Clinical Practice? session at ASAM?s 2022 conference. Please provide your input here.
The target audience for this Intermediate level session includes physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, other clinicians, researchers, residents, fellows, students, and counselors.
