Mission and Services

The mission of the National Addiction & HIV Data Archive Program is to facilitate research on drug addiction and HIV infection by acquiring, enhancing, preserving, and sharing data produced by research grants, particularly those funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse. NAHDAP supports secondary data analysis through technical assistance and specialized training for data depositors and data users in the drug addiction and HIV research and policy communities.

NAHDAP's staff consists of professional researchers, data archivists, and technicians working together to promote the use of data relevant to drug addiction and HIV researchers and policy makers.
