“Everyone brings their own expertise, experience, and connections, and together that creates a much bigger impact.”

-Robert Pitcher, Peer Research Coordinator

Our Mission

Research with Expert Advisors’ peer research team works together on every aspect of our research to shape policy that supports health equity and harm reduction while combatting punitive responses against people who use drugs.

Our Vision

We are committed to advancing a vision of research as deeply community-embedded, working alongside people who use drugs to co-create compassionate, evidence-based responses to drug use and overdose.
