Executive summary: The author seeks collaborators for a project arguing that breakthrough addiction and overdose treatments are radically underfunded given their potential impact.
Key points:
Emerging medical treatments like vaccines and non-addictive painkillers could effectively solve the addiction crisis but lack funding and urgency.
The negative impacts of addiction are underestimated globally in terms of lives lost, costs, and inhibited development.
Collaborators are sought to build an analytic case for more investment by quantifying costs and impacts.
Help is welcome from those with expertise in biology, health policy, drug development, data analysis, and presentation.
