The Lab
The Addiction and Innovative Methods (AIM) Lab is Directed by Dr. Stephanie Lanza (Professor of Biobehavioral Health).
Our lab has been continuously funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), primarily from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA). Current external funding includes a NIDA grant awarded to Dr. Lanza, titled “Promoting Rapid Uptake of Multilevel Latent Class Modeling via Best Practices: Investigating Heterogeneity in Daily Substance Use Patterns” (R01-DA057588). Additionally, Dr. Lanza Co-directs with Dr. Jennifer Maggs the long-standing Prevention and Methodology Training Program (T32-DA017629), which has trained more than 100 pre- and post-doctoral research fellows in advancing substance use research through innovative methods.
