Recovery Research Fellowship

A 10-month learning community to build research skills towards greater peer workforce integration into the opioid recovery support system. Fellows represent diverse recovery roles: peers, peer supervisors, clinicians, trainers, advocates, other agency staff, graduate students, and staff researchers.  

Fellows meet once a month at University of Maryland, Baltimore between September 2022 - June 2023 to achieve these outcomes:

​

• Develop a network with which to collaborate, including through participatory research 

• Use research to uplift benefits of peer services towards greater workforce integration  

• Gain deeper understanding of research processes and practices        

• Use agency data to enhance program management, evaluation, and fundraising 

• Apply research to improve not just peer services, but all recovery supports 

• Develop and share findings from research towards community education and advocacy
