Charles R. Schuster Memorial Congressional Briefing
With the death of Charles R. (Bob) Schuster on February 21, there have been many expressions of interest from persons wishing to commemorate his contributions to science throughout his career by making donations to a suitable memorial.
Bob's family encourages such donations to the Friends of NIDA, a non-profit coalition of individuals, scientific and professional societies, patient groups and other organizations committed to the elimination of drug abuse and addiction through education, advocacy, and the promotion of broad public and private support for the research agenda of the National Institute on Drug Abuse.
This is a particularly suitable organization given Bob Schuster's leadership as Director of NIDA from 1986 to 1992. Bob was also a member of the Board of The Friends of NIDA, which has established the Charles R. Schuster Congressional Briefing Series. As we know, Bob was a great believer in the empowerment of science to inform policy. As NIDA Director, Bob provided congressional testimony and many briefings himself.
Tax-deductible memorial contributions by credit card may be designated at http://www.thefriendsofnida.org/
If you prefer, donations can be submitted by a check made out to Friends of NIDA and mailed to:
Friends of the National Institute on Drug Abuse
