John Winhusen PhD  is Professor and Vice Chair of Addiction Sciences in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Neurosciences, the Donald C.

He has been a continuously funded NIDA investigator for 25 years with much of his career devoted to conducting clinical trials evaluating medication and psychosocial interventions in “real world” clinical settings. The majority of this work has been accomplished through his roles as both a national PI of multi-site clinical trials and the Ohio Valley Node PI in the National Drug Abuse Clinical Trials Network (CTN). The research that Dr. Winhusen conducts has the goal of improving public health by improving addiction treatment outcomes and has been largely influenced by the two epidemics that have occurred during his career – the cocaine epidemic and the opioid epidemic. As co-chair of the NIDA CTN Prescription Opioid Task Force, Dr. Winhusen played a critical role in developing the CTN Opioid Research Task Force Report, which outlined research priorities for addressing the opioid use epidemic. He served as the Co-PI for the Ohio Healing Communities Study (HCS) and led the national HCS Care Continuum workgroup, which developed the Opioid-overdose Reduction Continuum of Care Approach (ORCCA).
