This NIH sponsored research education program concentrates on a uniquely vulnerable population—pregnant addicts and their babies who suffer from drug withdrawal. The program is intended for medical and graduate students and postdoctoral fellows as well as clinical professionals and social workers, primarily from predominately underrepresented communities. The purpose of this training program is to address the current difficult medical issues resulting from substance abuse during pregnancy and the encouraging strategies drawn from the basic research discoveries concerning addiction mechanisms which offer hope for improving treatments.
