The Center has opened its doors to new opportunities and growth. Much of the center’s work has focused on:

• substance abuse prevention (e.g.. opioid, alcohol)
• the prevention of sexual assault
• the prevention of child abuse and neglect
• community organizing
• heath disparities research
• program evaluation
• empowerment theory and measurement

In addition to their currently funded research projects totaling more than $4.3 million, two new research projects have recently been accepted and granted funding. These two projects, which will total $750,000 over five years, are studies of New Jersey’s Opioid Overdose Prevention Network: Effects of an Early Warning and Rapid Response System; and, NJAssessRX: An Interagency Sharing of the State’s Prescription Drug Monitoring Program
