Launched in April of 2023, the Opioid Research Institute is focused on addressing the ongoing opioid epidemic by providing evidence-based strategies and solutions to communities across the state and nation. In its first year of operation, the Institute has made critical progress in centralizing opioid-related research across U-M’s three campuses and collaborating with academic and state partners to understand the current landscape and state of the research field.
