About ACE!
Partners
Collaboration is key to successful research. When we embark on a project, we don’t limit ourselves to partners within our department, university, or even geographic region. Rather, we seek professionals whose skills and expertise complement our own. We have successfully worked with groups and individuals from a number of universities, federal, state, and local agencies, and nonprofit organizations, as well as independent consultants.
ACE! works with a number of federal partners in different capacities—as a contracted researcher, grant recipient, service provider, and co-researcher.
National Institute of Drug Abuse
Bureau of Justice Assistance, U.S. Department of Justice
Center for Substance Abuse Treatment, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Health & Human Services
As part of a public Virginia university, ACE! is privileged to have a number of opportunities to partner with others from Virginia state and local government. However, we do not limit ourselves to just our home state!

Hidalgo County Community Supervision and Corrections Department

ACE! is thrilled to partner with other centers and non-profit partners both within and outside of GMU.
