The University of Cincinnati (UC) and UC Health have launched the UC/UC Health Addiction Center (UCAC), a multidisciplinary initiative designed to unite research with clinical and educational expertise to improve addiction prevention and treatment outcomes in the Greater Cincinnati community and beyond.
UC College of Medicine and UC Health will invest approximately $2 million over the next five years to support administrative efforts, research, clinical improvement initiatives and fellowship programs.
UCAC builds on the success of the Center for Addiction Research, leveraging the collaborative efforts of over 30 faculty members from five colleges and 12 departments. It is positioned to accelerate addiction science through pilot research funding, expanding evidence-based clinical care, enhancing addiction education and promoting community engagement.
