SPUR/SPUR-DAN Research Tracks
SPUR/SPUR-DAN offers students the opportunity to select from two specialized research tracks.
Drug Abuse and Addiction and Neuroscience
Drug abuse/addiction and neuroscience research has become one of the fastest growing and popular scientific fields. Our NIDA funding now offers undergraduate students the opportunity to focus their research project in the area of drug abuse and addiction, and neuroscience. A select group of our researchers focus on the genetic, neurobiological, behavioral, and social mechanisms underlying drug abuse and addiction, especially among minorities and underserved populations.
