DIDARP
Diversity-promoting Institutions Drug Abuse Research Program of the Graduate School of Public Health
at University of Puerto Rico, Medical Science Campus
The Educational Component is the unit responsible for the training and development of DIDARP's team members. Based on a rigorous needs assessment of our team, we create Individualized Development Plans that aims to provide learning spaces and identify the necessary resources for both the faculty and research assistants, to develop research capacity.
Progress and achievements of DIDARP's team members are supported throughout the project development. Thus we ensure both team members and project success in a parallel way. Also, they have the opportunity to participate in the development of their career path at DIDARP. This is achieved through anagogical model which involves self-directed learning and the pursuit of interests and development opportunities by the learner.
Besides the development of our team, the Educational Component coordinates several activities for the benefit to the academic community and the general public. In this way, we strengthen research efforts related to substance abuse and criminal justice in Puerto Rico .
