[DIV28SUPER] Update: Reorganization of Substance Use, Abuse and Addiction (SUAA) Research at NIH

This morning, NIH Deputy Director, Dr. Lawrence Tabak, gave a presentation at the NIAAA Advisory Council meeting to provide an update on the timeline for the reorganization of SUAA research at NIH. Dr. Tabak told the group that the timeline for releasing a draft portfolio integration plan has been extended to October/November 2012. A parallel process will be designed to provide greater opportunity for stakeholder input in a strategic plan for the reorganized entity (distinct from the portfolio integration planning) with the intent that a strategic plan will be released at the same time as a portfolio integration plan. Dr. Tabak's presentation will be available on the NIH Feedback website tomorrow after he briefs the Advisory Council to the NIH Director. More details wil follow in the next editions of PSA and SPIN.
