“There is a pressing need to increase the number of health professionals, including social workers, conducting substance use disorders (SUD) research, especially since it has been estimated that a substantial number of substance use researchers will retire in the next decade. It is more critical than ever to educate, train and recruit more junior scientists to the area of SUD research and to mentor them effectively. The Substance Abuse Research Education Training (SARET) Program is an innovative modular SUD web-based curriculum and summer research mentorship program. This model holds promise for replication and development in MSW programs and additional inter-professional approaches. The manuscript will inform and support interested MSW programs to integrate and evaluate the SARET web-based curricula addressing core concepts of SUDs and clinical research supplemented by with summer research mentorships.”
