Call for resources
DRNS are updating our resources related to Peer Research – a participatory research method, where members of a given community (i.e., people who use(d) substances and affected family members) are trained and supported to undertake research in their own communities. This includes training materials, academic outputs from research applying this methodology, health and wellbeing support tools, and best-practice guidance.

About DRNS
Funded by the Scottish government, the DRNS aims to develop a Scottish drugs research strategy to build capacity, maximise research investment and deliver robust, high-quality research evidence to inform policy and practice relevant to problem drug use and recovery in Scotland. As well as facilitating collaboration across Scotland, we will also develop links with leading researchers elsewhere in the UK and in other countries.
Membership benefits
DRNS membership is free and open to anyone with an interest in drug and alcohol research. We provide activities and events to promote the emerging drugs research community, as well as professional and career development opportunities. Applications are especially welcome from peer researchers, Master and PhD students, Early Career Researchers and practitioners seeking to develop skills and contacts.
