The purpose of the Alcohol and Drug Addiction Research Program (ADARP) at Washington State University is to promote scientific research on substance use disorder within the state of Washington. This program receives a portion of the State’s alcohol tax revenue and distributes these funds to addiction researchers through grant competitions. ADARP also sponsors an addictions research seminar series, helps to purchase shared research equipment, and assists departments in the recruitment of faculty members who have demonstrated research expertise and continuing interest in in studying substance use disorders.

If you have any questions or would like to support our research efforts, please contact the ADARP Office (vbr.adarp@wsu.edu)
