🎉 Congratulations to Dr. Danny Valdez on receiving a D-START award supporting research at the intersection of data science, substance use, and recovery!

This project will use Natural Language Processing, machine learning, and artificial intelligence to analyze mobile app data and better understand recovery trajectories. In collaboration with The Phoenix: a Sober, Active Community, the research team will work toward developing a recovery maintenance classifier through the Recovery Insights through Signal Extraction (RISE) project.

The project brings together AHS Co-I Jon Agley, IU Co-I Damir Cavar of the Department of Computational Linguistics, and community partner The Phoenix: a Sober, Active Community.

Congratulations to Dr. Valdez and the research team on this exciting work in digital recovery science! 👏
