Join the Consortium for Urgently-needed Research in California to eliminate obstacles to treatment
The Consortium for Urgently-needed Research in California (CURC) is committed to improve the lives of Californians suffering from addiction and mental health disorders. We face a huge bureaucratic obstacle from an outdated State committee and have come together to create change.
The Los Angeles Times reported on the problem of impeding addiction, mental health, and psychedelic research
The San Francisco Chronicle has also described the issue - focusing on the impact on addiction research and treatment
We believe in the power of community and the importance of working together to achieve our goals. At Consortium for Urgently-needed Research in California, we empower individuals and communities to create lasting change. Explore our website to learn more about our mission and how you can get involved.
CURC is a group of investigators who study addiction, mental health, and related issues involving controlled substances, who have been affected by a California State committee formed in 1965 that should have been dissolved in 1991, but continues and now blocks Californian's access to innovative treatments.
We seek to end the Research Advisory Panel of California. RAPC was formed in 1965 when there was no regulation of research. Research is now regulated by the Food and Drug Administration, Drug Enforcement Administration, National Institutes of Health, Institutional Review Boards, Data Safety Monitoring Committees, and others. RAPC review adds nothing to these other regulators and delays research by up to a year - this has led funders to ABANDON California as a site for critical research. Jobs have been lost. Research centers have closed. Patients have been denied access.
