The REDLA Executive Committee met in Washington DC. on September 30.

The REDLA network is a group of academic researchers who share an interest in developing research on the drug problem and whose geographic focus and arena is Latin America. Our mission is to reduce the social burden of drugs through scientific research.

The REDLA network was created through a joint effort between the Organization of American States, through their Inter-American Drug Control Commission (CICAD) and the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), with the collaboration of the National Hispanic Science Network on Drugs (NHSN). The REDLA network is comprised of academic researchers from a variety of institutions in Latin America, and includes permanent liaisons to the national observatories within the national drug commissions in the hemisphere.
