Peer-to-Peer Network

The peer-to-peer network facilitates collaboration by allowing investigators to share unique or excess research materials (distinct from NIDA or DEA sources). Its purpose is to support reproducibility studies across institutions. Researchers can use a portal to offer or seek materials, with all exchanges requiring full DEA and regulatory compliance.

RFI: Barriers to Peer-to-Peer Network Adoption

We need your input! The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to solicit information from the scientific research community and other stakeholders about their interests in and barriers to adoption of a peer-to-peer network for exchange of cannabis and derived constituents to facilitate collaborations and reproducible research.

Benefits to Researchers

Participation in the peer-to-peer network helps researchers achieve reproducibility by sharing materials to repeat studies and evaluate safety/efficacy/mechanisms.
