Stanford Network on Addiction Policy Bridging Science and Public Policy

Bridging Science and Public Policy to Respond Effectively and Compassionately to Addiction

     Evidence-informed public policy can lower the enormous damage that addiction does to individuals, families, and communities. The Stanford Network on Addiction Policy (SNAP) is a philanthropically-supported initiative that brings scientists, policymakers, and the public together to design and implement policies that prevent and treat substance use disorders, support long-term recovery from addiction, and protect public health and safety.  SNAP is primarily focused on US, Canadian, and British addiction-focused policy, but also provides consultation to policymakers in other nations and within international bodies.
