ORCCA

Launched in Spring 2019, the Opioid Research Consortium of Central Appalachia (ORCCA) was formed because we believe that collaborative, community-engaged research will discover effective solutions, faster.

The ORCCA supports a multi-stakeholder, community-engaged research agenda that serves as the umbrella for specific research networks identified through our member engagement. Learn More

 

STARS

The first such network, Studies to Advance Recovery Support (STARS), began in July 2020 through a 5-year NIH grant focused on developing a collaborative, interprofessional network to facilitate and expedite high-priority research.

In particular, the STARS research network specializes in peer recovery support services (PRSS) for individuals who received or are being maintained on medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD). Learn More
