The Mid-Atlantic Addiction Research and Training Institute (MARTI) is among the first institutes in the country to utilize the expertise of treatment programs and a university to provide high-quality training in the fields of chemical dependency and associated problems, as well as to develop and coordinate intramural and extramural research projects while providing research and training experience for graduate students entering the field.
MARTI was founded in 1988 at IUP by Dr. Robert J. Ackerman, cofounder of the National Association for Children of Alcoholics.
