Each episode features a conversation with two women researchers from the HEAL Prevention Cooperative who discuss the public health problems they're trying to solve through their work and tell the stories of their journeys into the prevention science field. They discuss their academic backgrounds, mentoring, career choices, work-life balance, advice they would give young women interested in the prevention field, and much more. This podcast was developed as part of the HEAL Prevention Cooperative funded through the NIH, helping to end addiction long term initiative, an aggressive effort to speed scientific solutions to curb the national opioid public health crisis. The HEAL Prevention Cooperative includes ten research projects throughout the country and one coordinating center based at RTI International in the Research Triangle Park, North Carolina.
