CurrentThe Substance Use Research Center (SURC), located in the New York State Psychiatric Institute and the Department of Psychiatry at Columbia University, is a center comprised of a group of respected behavioral pharmacologists who are interested in investigating the behavioral and neuropharmacological effects of psychoactive drugs in human research participants. A major focus of this laboratory-based research is to understand factors that mediate drug self-administration behavior and to develop effective treatments. In addition to conducting internationally recognized research, scientists within the center participate in the training of individuals interested in the behavioral pharmacology of substance abuse via a National Institute on Drug Abuse Substance Abuse Postdoctoral Fellowship grant.
