The Rutgers Addiction Research Center (RARC) is a pan-Rutgers umbrella organization within the Brain Health Institute (BHI) designed to unite addiction researchers from across the university. With many addiction-related centers housed within individual departments or schools, the RARC strives to bring researchers across the university together and create a collaborative community focused on reducing the burden of addiction.
The RARC encompasses over 150 researchers from more than 40 departments and schools and 26 institutes and centers, spanning research domains such as basic science, epidemiology, etiology and prevention, treatment and recovery, and public policy.
Anyone engaged in addiction-related research at Rutgers, regardless of their department, school, or affiliation, is welcome to join the RARC.
Affiliating with the RARC is simple—anyone can join!
