The CADRE Distinguished Visiting Scholars Series (DVSS) brings renowned scholars to Brown University each year, in alignment with CAAS Rounds. Scholars focus on the intersection of substance use and chronic disease, a key theme of CADRE's work. Visits provide valuable opportunities for CADRE early career scientists to discuss ongoing research projects and future grant proposals. The DVSS fosters collaboration, professional development, and knowledge exchange within the CADRE research community.
