Project Description

This will be the sixth cohort supporting the Association of Recovery in Higher Education (ARHE). Student research assistants will contribute to the development of an online descriptive database for research on CRPs. CRPs are university sponsored programs that supports students in recovery from substance misuse or other addictions; they are still in their infancy as a field of study resulting in dispersed peer reviewed research articles. ARHE is the professional organization who supports the faculty/staff overseeing these programs. The CRP Research Lab is a group of emerging and early career scholars who are shaping the research agenda of CRPs, students who use them, and college student recovery. Work for this project contributes to establishing the research database monitored by a national organization, that is utilized by scholars for large grantmaking efforts including the NIH and SAMHSA.

Research Tasks: Fall Semester
-Foundational CRP readings
-Orientation to the Airtable database
-Literature review development (focus on the past 18 months)
-Reading, outlining, and coding selected included works

Spring Semester
-Completion of reading, summarizing, and coding selected works
-Identification of a topic of interest to synthesize into a research brief (2-3 brief minimums)

Skills that research assistant(s) may need: Required: ability to time manage and work in a fully remote enviornment with primary communication occuring over teams meetings, GroupMe, and email.
