Topical Networks

SRNT’s topical Networks were created to promote opportunities for members to connect with one another, collaborate on group projects (such as manuscripts or pre-conference workshops), and advise the Board on key issues impacting the field of nicotine and tobacco research. All SRNT members are eligible to participate in Networks.

Each Network is led by an Advisory Committee, and all Network Advisory Committees report to the SRNT Board of Directors.

Members may participate in as many topical Networks as they’d like. Involvement can range from simply receiving Network newsletters and email updates to volunteering for an Advisory Committee position—your level of engagement is entirely up to you.
