Biography
Beau Kilmer (Ph.D., Harvard University) is codirector of the RAND Drug Policy Research Center. His primary fields of interest are illicit markets, community corrections, drug treatment, and technologies that enable what he calls DIRECT surveillance (Drug and alcohol use Information from REmote and Continuous Testing). He is currently the principal investigator or co-principal investigator on three projects at RAND: Improving data on illegal drug markets and drug-related crime in Europe (funded by the European Commission); identifying the community-level effects of drug treatment (Robert Wood Johnson Foundation); and conducting a cost-effectiveness analysis of a brief voluntary alcohol and drug intervention for middle school youth (NIAAA). He is an assistant editor for Addiction, the co-editor of the new Journal of Drug Policy Analysis, and his recent work was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences and Foreign Policy. Before earning his Ph.D., Kilmer received a Judicial Administration Fellowship that supported his work with the San Francisco Drug Court.
