Center for Drug Abuse and AIDS Research
Welcome
What is TNC-CDAAR?
TNC stands for the Tufts University Nutrition Collaborative. It is one of the first CDAAR programs in the country.
CDAAR, The Center for Drug Abuse and AIDS
Research, is a program funded by the National Institute of Drug
Abuse (NIDA), a division of the National Institutes of Health.
The purpose of a CDAAR is to “enhance basic, clinical, epidemiological, prevention, and applied research on drug abuse and HIV infection through the support of shared resources.”

Meet Our
Investigators
 Timothy Flanigan, M.D.
Drug User Resources Core Leader
Dr. Flanigan is Professor and Chief of the Division of Infectious
Diseases at The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University and at
the Lifespan Academic Medical Center in Rhode Island (includes Miriam
Hospital and Rhode Island Hospital). His expertise is on interventions
to improve treatment and reduce progression among HIV positive
individuals with a particular focus on women, substance abusers, and
incarcerated populations. He is the Principal Investigator of the Miriam
Hospital AIDS Clinical Trial Unit, on a HRSA SPNS grant to integrate
buprenorphine for opiate dependence into the HIV primary care setting,
and on a recently funded HRSA SPNS grant to enhance linkage to HIV care
among HIV-infected individuals leaving jail. He recently completed an
R01 to investigate modified directly observed therapy among active
substance abusers who are HIV-infected. He is Co-Director of the HIV and
Women's Core of the Lifespan/Tufts/Brown Center for AIDS Research and
Associate Director of the Brown University AIDS Program. Dr. Flanigan
will work to help other TNC investigators on issues related to the
recruitment and retention of drug using populations for research
studies, as well as assessing substance use and conducting assessments
among drug using populations.
