MARC Advisory Board

The MARC Advisory Board was established in 2019 to provide independent advice on matters related to supporting MARC’s ambition to transform the way society understands and responds to addiction. The Committee advises on research priorities for the Centre and the visibility of the Centre’s work across the community, including the development of research priorities, how to most effectively translate research into practice across different sectors and settings, how to maximise the policy relevance of current and planned work and areas of development for strategic research partnerships.
