The NARC is part of a comprehensive addiction training program at the Medical University of South Carolina. In addition to the NARC, the addiction training program is funded in part by institutional training grants from the National Institute of Drug Abuse and the National Institute of Alcoholism and Alcohol Abuse, as well as by two other addiction research centers, the Alcohol Research Center and the Center for the Study of Women in Addiction. Through all of these programs training in addiction research is provided to Ph.D. and M.D./Ph.D. candidates in the Neuroscience Graduate Program, as well as to clinical fellows in translational addiction research. At present there are about 20 faculty in the Department of Neurosciences and Department of Psychiatry at MUSC engaged in addiction research who are involved in training approximately 10 graduate students, 12 postdoctoral fellows and 5 clinical fellows.
