Originally from Austin, Texas, Thomas is one of the Recovery Advocates here at Origins.

Rather than use this experience as an excuse he decided to turn his life around, and discovered fitness as an outlet for energy which could just as easily taken his own life down a similar path. As a Certified Personal Trainer he knows how to help others find a healthy lifestyle that not only maintains physical well-being, but provides a basis for the mental discipline necessary to refocus the recovering addict into a positive way of seeing their future as addiction free individuals.

Thakur was born and raised in the neighboring town of Port Isabel, TX. Growing up he was involved with outdoor activities, especially sports, and very centered on helping his family. Like many, however, his life began to spiral on a downward path and he quickly found himself involved with drugs and alcohol. Determined not to duplicate his father's prematurely short life due to alcohol abuse, it was through the help of his family, his strength of will and the support of a strong recovery community that he pulled his life together. Now, having had firsthand experience with addiction, he uses his understanding of this disease to help guide others like himself fight to regain control of their life and to enjoy it, free from the addiction that had beaten them down. As the overnight RA here at Origins, he makes sure our clients are well taken care of and safe through the course of the night. He really enjoys working with the clients and spreading the positive message of hope, letting them know this treatment is real and works to save lives. On his free time he enjoys fishing, spending time with family and strength training.

Jim is very active in the 12-step community, both locally and when he travels. He has helped start new 12-step groups and has continued to support them in various communities.

Josh Nevore – Recovery Advocate
Though born in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, it wasn't until he moved to Enid, Oklahoma, that Josh finally found sobriety at a sober house there in 2006. He has been gratefully recovered ever since. He immediately set out to return the favor and the lessons his fight through recovery had taught him. With the help of his church he became very involved in the recovery community, honoring the 12th step by passing the message of hope to other addicts, and giving selflessly of himself by helping out the homeless with donated food and clothes. This was how he learned that he really enjoyed reaching out to those in need of help, whether it be with material goods, or by teaching through his own experience as an addict to others suffering as he had. He now provides his knowledge to the patients here at Origins, where his understanding of what to be wary of helps our patients deal with the often conflicting and raw emotions that arise during rehabilitation and recovery. His confidence in them gives rise to confidence in themselves.

Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR)
Responsible conduct of research starts with understanding the definitions, regulations, and procedures for handling allegations, and case histories. For additional information, please refer to the following links. Some of the following documents are provided in PDF format. You will need the free Acrobat Reader software at the Adobe Website.
In accordance with the University policy on ethical conduct of research (December 2011) in order to comply with Federal statutes, the Office of Sponsored Programs will inform researchers, undergraduate and graduate students, and post-doctoral fellows conducting research on certain types of National Science Foundation (NSF) and National Institutes of Health (NIH) funded programs to enroll and complete the appropriate RCR training.
Please review the RCR training policy above to determine if training may be applicable to your funded research. If you have any questions or concerns, you may contact the Research Office. Eric Gregory, Compliance & Contracts Specialist, at (856) 256-4058 or at email@example.com.
On-line RCR training is available through the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) - Web-based Training in Responsible Conduct of Research for Faculty and Students (http://www.citiprogram.org). CITI is a web-based program used by universities, other entities conducting research, and is periodically updated by veteran and experienced researchers and research administrators. The program can accommodate disabled individuals and is available in multiple languages.
New to CITI? Never created a CITI User Account? Please follow the directions below:
Already have a CITI account? Transfered from another University or recent hire that already has an exiting CITI account? Please follow the directions below:
RCR modules require a grade of 80% or higher, training is valid for three (3) years, and at any time during the training, a user can stop halfway and log back on at a different time to complete the training. Existing modules completed will still be considered completed, even if the full training course is not completed at that time.
