CoARS members are from many different organizations and institutions. To foster a sense of community, and to build together towards shared goals, we designed workgroups as a mechanism by which we stay connected. These workgroups meet regularly (typically once every 1-2 months), are organized around specific topic areas relevant to building the science of addiction recovery, and are casual ‘places’ (i.e., online meetings) for CoARS members to connect with each other. 

 Importantly, CoARS workgroups are open to all who want to be part of them. We do not require a minimum requirement of attendance to be part of workgroups.  All we ask is that you want to be there, and are happy to learn and share.

 To learn more about currently existing workgroups, please see the workgroup specific pages linked below. If you want to create a new workgroup, please reach out to the CoARS Steering Committee.
