The NPRC is a program in the Center for the Application of Substance Abuse Technologies (CASAT) in the Division of Health Sciences at the University of Nevada, Reno. Our library collection and clearinghouse facilities are housed in the College of Education’s Nell J. Redfield Learning and Resource Center (LRC) in the William J. Raggio Building, Room 1021. The LRC represents a partnership between the University’s College of Education and the Washoe County School District. The unique collaboration with the LRC has enabled the NPRC to use technology to expand its services and serve more diverse populations in both urban and rural regions of Nevada.
The RADAR Network in Nevada is dedicated to providing access to scientifically defensible substance abuse prevention, treatment and recovery materials, information, and resources to those working in:
- substance abuse and related fields
- community coalitions
- local and state agencies
- non-profit and other organizations
- school districts
- the general public and others in Nevada.
The NPRC acts as a substance abuse information clearinghouse and coordinates substance abuse library access and other information services throughout Nevada through six RADAR Network State Associate Centers and other partners.
