Motivational and Affective Neuroscience FAWG

Addiction-related activities are coordinated through the Rutgers Addiction Research Center (RARC) in the BHI. The RARC connects addiction researchers, training programs, and clinical services across all Rutgers entities. The RARC consists of more than 150 researchers representing more than 40 departments and schools, and 23 well-established institutes and centers, and closely coordinates with Rutgers Health. RARC research spans the translational spectrum, with researchers organized into four domains, each chaired by a senior investigator, including basic science; epidemiology, etiology and prevention; treatment and recovery; and public policy. Researchers at the RARC work to address substance use disorders as well as a wide array of behavioral addictions such as gambling, social media and gaming, and eating disorders.
