Additional Details:
Research to Recovery gathers a diverse audience of more than 400 people that includes young people, parents, professionals, and faculty to hear a variety of perspectives on substance use, mental health, and the promotion of well-being. The conference is not only focused on addiction professionals, but brings together educators from all levels, community members, and anyone who wants to deepen their knowledge of substance use and recovery. While these are not often groups that gather under the same roof, the opioid epidemic and the dramatic rise in students accessing college counseling centers demands that each of us exit our silos and look for collaborative solutions for both preventing these challenges and treating them effectively when they occur.
Submission Deadline: April 1st, 2025
Posters: We will be accepting poster abstracts for the conference with Monetary Prizes at each level (Undergraduate, Graduate, and Post Graduate). These do not have to be unique submissions (i.e., it is ok to present materials which have been shared with previous conferences). Anyone with an accepted poster will receive FREE registration to the 3-day conference! Poster size is 42"W by 36"H
Graduate Student Presentation Contest: A select number of graduate students will be chosen to give a brief presentation (10-15 min) of their research. These students will be eligible for an additional prize based on their ability to make their research accessible for a general audience.
