The program is partially funded by the National Institutes of Health and the University of Minnesota. The initial phase of the program focuses on neurobehavioral and health effects of chronic khat use. KRP will form the core model for future research initiatives on khat and concurrent use of other substances, including tobacco and alcohol. The program is conducted in collaboration with multiple universities in the United States, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. البرنامج الدولي لابحاث القات الدكتور مصطفى العبسي وريتشارد هوفمان من جامعة منسوتا Program Director Mustafa al'Absi, Professor E-mail: malabsi@umn.edu Max & Mary LaDue Pickworth Chair Director, Duluth Medical Research Institute (DMRI) University of Minnesota Medical School 1035 University Drive Duluth, MN 55812 Tel: (218) 726-8332; Fax: (218) 726-7559 Key Researchers in USA Motohiro Nakajima (University of Minnesota, U.S.A.)
