ADDICTION RESEARCH, PRACTICE, AND POLICY
REIMAGINING PUBLIC HEALTH
A Blueprint for Addiction Research, Practice, and Policy
Our public health infrastructure has been decimated. Critical federal funding sources have been cut off and politicized, including the work of the CDC, NIH, and SAMHSA. Addiction touches nearly every American family, yet addiction science has been hit especially hard. This moment is also an opportunity to reimagine and rebuild systems that serve people affected by addiction more effectively than what was in place before 2025.
OUR GOAL
An actionable and trustworthy plan for addiction science
The Addiction Science Defense Network (ASDN) and Mosaic Research Frameworks are convening researchers, clinicians, prevention and recovery practitioners, people with lived experience, community advocates, legislative staff, and career civil servants. Together they will write the Blueprint: who sets research priorities, how communities help make the decisions, and how findings reach policymakers and practitioners.
​
The Blueprint has five components.
Research
How addiction science is organized, prioritized, and coordinated across federal agencies.
Prevention
The evidence on why addiction emerges, and policies and systems to prevent it.
Treatment & Recovery
Accessible, equitable, accountable treatment and long-term recovery support.
Government Infrastructure
Legal, organization, and cultural measures that protect the system from political overreach.
Health Surveillance
Tracking emerging trends and evaluating intervention effectiveness.
Implementation Plan
We turn the five components into concrete steps ready for agencies and partners to act on.
Support the Blueprint
