Research Interests
Dr. Gordon, Research Scientist at FRI, conducts substance abuse and HIV research with criminal justice populations. Dr. Gordon’s research is focused on drug abuse treatment for criminal justice populations, including developing, implementing, and evaluating innovative drug abuse treatment interventions for prisoners with heroin addiction histories. Dr. Gordon is currently Principal Investigator on a 5-year study funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) examining Seek, Test, and Treat: Addressing HIV in the Criminal Justice System. He is also Principal Investigator on a contract funded by Alkermes to conduct a pilot study using long-acting injectable naltrexone with pre-release prisoners. In addition, he is Co-Investigator on three NIDA funded studies: 1) Buprenorphine for Prisoners, 2) Prevention of Relapse to Opioid Addiction Using Long-acting Injectable Naltrexone, and 3) Criminal Justice Drug Abuse Treatment Studies 2 (CJ DATS 2). Dr. Gordon’s prior funding includes Methadone Maintenance for Prisoners, funded by NIDA, Injectable Naltrexone Treatment of Opioid-Dependent Parolees/Probationers, funded by the Dana Foundation and University of Pennsylvania, and Evaluation of an Outpatient Substance Abuse Treatment Program for Adolescents, funded by the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment.
Dr. Gordon is a two time recipient of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Clinical Research Loan Repayment Program (2006-2008 and 2008-2009). Furthermore, he has been the recipient of three travel awards to attend conferences, two from the NIDA (2005 and 2006), and one from the College on Problems of Drug Dependence (2007).
