The CFSRE’s NPS Discovery program is an open-access drug early warning system (EWS) operating in the United States. Our evidence-based approach leads the development of high impact reports for real-time action among public health and safety stakeholders.
We are working in collaboration with forensic science, public health, emergency medicine, and criminal justice agencies to rapidly identify emerging drugs, also known as Novel Psychoactive Substances (NPS), associated with intoxications and adverse events. Our data and results are consolidated into reports and resources to allow for the rapid dissemination of information to colleagues and affected communities.
