is a world leader in addiction research in disciplines ranging from
the molecular to societal levels. In 2007, the UW was named one
of the top ten universities for drug and alcohol graduate programs by
U.S. News & World Report. Funding from NIH and other sponsors
brings in over $43 million dollars annually to support the work of collaborative
centers, independent researchers, and graduate and postdoctoral education
in addiction.
The Confederation of Northwest Addiction Research Centers was established in 2006 to enhance coordination among addiction research centers and training programs affiliated with the University of Washington. Through the diverse strengths of its members and a collaborative approach to addressing addiction, the Confederation will impact:
- Research and knowledge development that crosses multiple disciplines
- Training of tomorrow's addiction research workforce
- Treatment and care of individuals and families coping with addiction
 The Social Development Research Group (SDRG) and director Richard Catalano, PhD are featured in Prevention Action, an online news source on innovation and effectiveness in programs to improve children's health and development.
