Consensus Panel
Each Treatment Improvement Protocol (TIP) consensus panel is a group of primarily nonfederal addiction-focused clinical, research, administrative, and recovery support experts with deep knowledge of the TIP's topic. With the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's (SAMHSA) Knowledge Application Program (KAP) team, they develop each TIP via a consensus-driven, collaborative process that blends evidence-based, best, and promising practices with the panel's expertise and combined wealth of experience.

Stakeholders Meeting Participants
Stakeholders represent a cross-section of key audiences with a deep interest in a TIP's subject matter. Stakeholders review and comment on the draft outline and supporting materials for the TIP to ensure that its focus is clear, its stated purpose meets an urgent need in the field, and it will not duplicate existing resources produced by the federal government or other entities.
