National Addiction & HIV Data Archive Program
About Us
Scope
NAHDAP, located within the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research at the University of Michigan, acquires, preserves and disseminates data relevant to drug addiction and HIV research. By preserving and making available an easily accessible library of electronic data on drug addiction and HIV infection in the United States, NAHDAP offers scholars the opportunity to conduct secondary analysis on major issues of social and behavioral sciences and public policy.
Hosted by ICPSR, the largest social science data archive in the world and part of the University of Michigan's Institute for Social Research, NAHDAP's staff consists of professional researchers, data archivists and technicians working together to obtain, process, distribute and promote data relevant to drug addiction and HIV.
NAHDAP is funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, part of the National Institutes of Health. NIDA's mission is to bring the power of science to bear on drug abuse and addiction by supporting research across a wide range of disciplines and ensuring the rapid and effective dissemination and use of the results of that research to improve prevention, treatment and policy.
