Young Jo, MD received the NIDA-AACAP Resident Training Award in Substance Use Disorders (SUD) supported by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) at the Annual American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (AACAP) Meeting in Toronto.
The award is a partnership between AACAP and the NIDA Clinical Trials Network (CNT) to fund NIDA Mentor-Facilitated Training Awards, a key component of the NIDA CTN Dissemination Initiative, supporting the development of expertise in SUD, especially opioid use disorder (OUD), through the completion of a mentor-supervised project focused on adoption and/or dissemination of SUD treatment research and the publication of the results.
